The 2026 Florida Skimboarding Pro/Am brought two days of action to Vilano Beach, Florida, with some of the world’s best skimboarders competing alongside the next generation of up-and-coming riders.
Fun 1–2' waves kicked off the weekend, with standout performances from John Akerman, Jack Tenney, Leo Freitas, Graham Shelton, Gerardo Valencia, Camden White, Gio Tomasi, and more. Finals Day delivered a bump in swell and favorable offshore winds. After tight heats throughout the Pro division, John Akerman and Jack Tenney met in the Final, where John combined technical tricks and strong wave riding to claim the 2026 Florida Pro/Am title.
The event also marked the final stop of the RDS Crossover Tour, returning for the first time in over 10 years. The tour challenged riders across skateboarding, wakesurfing, and skimboarding. After the final points were tallied from all the events, Jack Tenney was crowned the 2026 RDS Crossover Tour Champion!
Huge thanks to Steve Pullara and RDS for putting on the Florida Pro/AM and for bringing back the Crossover Tour.
