Zap Skimboards - Gulf Coast Spring Skim Jam

The contest was held in wave conditions similar to what we have in the UK. The standard of skimming was very high, right through from the pro's, to the little kids! The tricks they were pulling in the conditions really surprised us, big spins, shuv-its, you name it, somebody tried to pull it off. Some of the competitors were catching a lot of air, as you can see in the photos in the skimboard gallery.

It was a great atmosphere, and everybody was really friendly, and made us feel welcome.
Special thanks must go the following people:

  • Karen and family for allowing us to invade their house for the week

  • Bob Smetts and all the family.

  • Everyone at Zap Skimboards

  • Steve Pullara at Run Drop Slide.

  • All the pro's we met, for taking the time to talk to us, and inspiring us even more

Some more photos!
