RECAP | 44th Annual Zap Pro/Am World Championships of Skimboarding FINALS DAY & PODIUMS
Just like that, one of the most anticipated three-day weekends of the year has come to an end! It was a jam-packed weekend with tons of fun, new memories made, and exciting results that put some extra emphasis on the Zap Team and put them in a great position for some tour titles! Sunday was a day about as classic as Dewey gets. With 5 mph southwest winds, switching a little bit in the afternoon, the beach looked like a wave machine. The weather could not have been better, it was sunny in the morning with some humidity, and some much-needed cloud coverage as we got into the afternoon segment of the day.

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
