EVENT| 2025 Zap World Championships (Day 3)
The 2025 Zap Pro/Am has come to a close and there are not enough words to cover all the epicness that happened this weekend! After a full morning of pros only, the amateurs got their center stage moment, and they shined bright like the stars they are!! Walking onto McKinley Street, on a bright and sunny Sunday morning, the conditions had cleaned up the best that they were going to get all weekend with a 5mph NE wind that gave the swell some flavor, and a solid 2’-3’ foot bump still pushing through, you just knew it was going to be a memorable day! There was a wave for everyone, goofy bowls, reggy wraps, and sneaky liners that would carry you any direction, it was awesome!

VIDEO | 2025 OBX Skim Jam Full Video Recap
To say it was a heater in North Carolina during the OBX Skim Jam would be an understatement. With temperatures exceeding 95+° each day and a heat index well over 100°, the OBX sun was brutal! But that didn’t stop the Zap crew and everyone else from having a blast in the heat!

RECAP | 2025 OBX Skim Jam Results
We did it! Team Zap survived the 109-degree heat index with a slight breeze, ever changing conditions, peeling liners, and great times at the 2025 OBX Skim Jam held on the south side of Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head, North Carolina. After three long days in the sun, the Zap team had a blast skimming stacked heats, hyping up the groms, getting a couple of surf sessions in between heats, and finishing the weekend off pretty well. The weather was sunny, beautiful, and a bit humid all three days making for the refreshing water of OBX exactly what everyone needed to stay cool in the 90 degree heat. The waves were ever changing with high tide, and mid-tide falling to be the best of the weekend. A solid 1–3-foot swell hit the shores of OBX just in time for the contest to begin and Sunday showing the dreamiest of conditions possible with liners, barrels and far out wraps, giving a little something for everyone!
