The Combi might be gone, but the memories keep flooding in.
"Being part of the Master's division at the Vans Pool Party is more than just a title—it's a testament to being an icon of transition and a true master of the craft," The Pltfrm mentioned. "Each of these master rippers has earned their place through years of experience in the pro division, with some having competed since the very first Combi Pool Party in Orange. Watch as they make their final mark in the bowl, surrounded by fans, friends, and family, in their last session at the Combi."
Glifberg, Lasek, Navarette, Hassan...the list goes on! All the dudes I want to see and will simply never get tired of. And dare I say it, but they're all looking as strong and stylish as ever! The entire session that went down this day was incredible, but personally, the Master's division is where it's at. No argument!

If you were ever lucky enough to attend a Vans Pool Party at the Combi, then you know first hand how gnarly the energy is inside that place. It can feel somewhat surreal at times, to be honest. Skateboarding at its finest.
"Yesterday we said goodbye to an old, great friend, the Combi Pool, with one final Pool Party in Orange. Thank you to all the skaters, friends, family, and fans who rolled out one last time to bring the energy and excitement that has made the Pool Party such an amazing event and contest for all these years," Vans recently wrote on Instagram.
"Huge thanks also to all the past pool partiers for adding their own pieces to the legacy of the Combi Pool. While the pool may be gone, we’ll have and cherish the memories we’ve made there forever."
Thanks for all the memories, Combi. Oh, and if you want a fun little history lesson, tap that post above!
