“This ISF World Championships will showcase the world’s best male and female skaters competing in both street and vert events,” says ISF President Gary Ream. "Having the first ISF World Championships of Skateboarding in Boston is perfect. This will be a historic event in a city full of skateboarding tradition, from legendary spots like the hospital and turtles, to the new Charles River Park." Mark Waters - Sole Technology Events Group Manager. 

The ISF World Championships will be broadcast live in the United States on both the NBC and USA Networks.
