SURF. SKATE. SHRED. CREATE: With a Mission to Make Action Sports Accessible, DIVERTbrands Launches Action Sports Pop-Up DIVERTsessions in Orange County this Summer

    ORANGE COUNTY, CA, April 08, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With a mission to make action sports and creative education more accessible to urban populations, an exciting new action sports destination is coming to Orange County this Summer. DIVERTbrands announced it will launch its first action sports entertainment pop-up, DIVERTsessions, targeting a June opening date that will kick-off a three-month run. The event location and exact dates will be announced soon. Guests can sign up to be notified when limited presale begins by visiting www.DIVERTsessions.com and clicking the "Presale" button to provide their name and email address.

The DIVERTsessions pop-up park provides action sports and creative skill sessions for everyone ages 5 and up (other limits may apply). Guests can ski or snowboard on the 15-foot high, 100-foot-long Ski and Snowboard Hill, catch the perfect wave on the FlowRider Wave Machine, learn new tricks in the skatepark/scooter area (where movable obstacles are constantly changing for maximum skill progression) or participate in a Creative Lab Session to explore different creative outlets and develop skills such as videography, music production, digital and street art.

There will be a limited number of session tickets available each day, with reservations placed in advance on www.DIVERTsessions.com when tickets go on sale. Capacity is capped during each session to ensure each guest is given the best possible experience.

For friends, family and chaperones who would rather watch the action and grab a bite, Spectator Passes are free, except for special events and concerts, and grant access to viewing, dining, brand showcases and other public areas within the park.

"DIVERTsessions will be an action sports and creative stomping ground for everyone, no matter their skill level, age, or socio-economic background," said Zach Adamson, Founder and CEO of DIVERTbrands. "By offering an all-in-one action sports experience in an urban location, we can introduce more kids from more backgrounds to these offerings. The goal is to DIVERT youths' attention towards a positive, supportive community that will teach them valuable life skills so they can "Achieve Their I'mpossible" and be stoked while doing it!"

All activities at DIVERTsessions are offered in beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, to accommodate most ages and skill levels. DIVERT Guides will be present throughout the park at every activity, to offer advice, tips, and tricks to help guests progress their skills.

"We wanted to create an experience that provides an affordable, accessible and welcoming on-ramp into the action sports lifestyle that doesn't exist today," said David Monhait, Co-Founder and President of DIVERTbrands. "That's why an hour-long session starts at only $30. Every session at DIVERT includes guides for safe progression, complimentary skate, surf and snow gear lending. And for those who would rather just hang out and watch their friends or family, grab a bite, or check out our many brand activations, they can snag a Spectator Pass which is free unless we have a special event."
