Another first for Manly … the Beach Bowl (formerly the “Soul Bowl”) will be making its debut Down Under for the Australian Open. The Bowl is a custom-built marvel, created in 1999 and has travelled to Brazil, England and several events in the USA.

The Beach Bowl measures 3.6 meters high, 15 meters wide x 26 meters long. The kidney shaped bowl has a vert extension, a hip, and caters for hundreds of trick combinations. The surface is a plastic-infused wood called 'Skatelite', invented and designed with the perfect amount of slip and grip for skating. 

This bowl is designed for the creative skater to use the whole area, boosting and grinding with speed around the bowl. 

Spectators will have access to grandstands positioned around the bowl, giving skate-fans a perfect, birds-eye view of the crew shredding it up!

Expect to see the world’s best bowl riders show up Down Under for the Australian Open!
