PHOTOS | The Zap Summer Shop Tour Hits K-Coast in Ocean City, MD
We kicked off the Zap Summer Shop Tour with an amazing evening at K-Coast in Ocean City, Maryland! K-Coast Surf Shop was incredibly supportive, helping us bring out a fantastic local crowd. The highlight? We got people who had never skimboarded before on our boards, and they were successfully riding and having a blast. On top of that, we scored some great waves and demonstrated high-performance skimboarding right on the shores of Ocean City. It was a big success, and we’re excited to see everyone at the next stop in South Kingston, RI with Matunuck Surf Shop on 7/10 from 11-1

TEAM | Kate Warrington’s Pro Debut at Spring Fling
The 6th Annual Spring Fling took place a little over a week ago and we’re still coming down from all the good times we had! One of the big standout moments from the weekend was our very own Kate Warrington taking the step from the amateur ranks to the pro division! After a successful 2025 season, she felt like it was the time to make the move. This proved to be a solid decision as she handled her first pro heat on the first day of the Spring Fling with no issues and got herself into the semis for the next day. She ended up with a respectable 4th place finish at the end of the event so we sat down with her to see how she felt about it and what her plans are moving forward. Check it out now!
