Maloof Money Cup

The Maloof Money Cup was an annual skateboarding competition for amateur and professional skateboarders founded by Joe and Gavin Maloof of the Maloof family. The events were held in four cities: Costa Mesa, CA (Orange County) in 2008, 2009, 2010; New York City in 2010 and 2011; Washington, DC in 2011, and in Kimberley, South Africa in 2011 and 2012.
