The All Girl Skate Jam is the original skateboarding competition for all girls, all ages, and all abilities.

History
Soul skater, photographer and author Patty Segovia organized the the first All Girl Skate Jam (AGSJ) Demo in 1990. In 1997 after graduating from UC-Santa Barbara Segovia organized the first professional all girls skateboard contest. This began the annual AGSJ skateboard events which have spanned the globe from the North Shore of Oahu to San Sebastian, Spain. Going on 20 years the event is featured every Summer on the Vans Warped Tour.

Its inclusive philosophy is reflected in its motto — “All ages, all abilities, all girls.”

AGSJ donates to the Non Profit International Girls Skateboarding Association to help empower girls through skateboarding.
