“We’re in Long Beach, CA for this year’s Dew Tour contest. Hyped I qualified for the finals on Sunday, stay tuned!” – Chaz Ortiz
Chaz Ortiz & Chicago’s Skateboarding Renaissance
Chicagoans are a proud bunch, and Chaz Ortiz is no exception. The Illinois native has been coming to this city his whole life and know there’s no place like it. Now the local skate scene is primed for an explosion of new talent and revived interest thanks to the introduction of Grant Park Skate Plaza – a park that Chaz says is one of the best he’s ever skated – within the past year. With the skatepark also playing host to Dew Tour, Chaz is relishing the opportunity to compete in front of a hometown crowd that is sure to be pulling for him.
