RECAP | Melaque Skim Contest 2026
The vibes were high and the conditions were epic for the 2026 Melaque Skim Contest. Not to be confused with Melaque Magia, the MSC is a separate event that was supposed to be a part of the United Skim Tour. Unfortunately, due to turmoil in the region, the UST had to drop the event from the standings but that didn't stop MSC from being an awesome experience!

RECAP | PCB Skim Jam Day 2 & Podiums
What a weekend! The crew didn’t just have a blast but also went home with some new hardware! A bright and sunny day two was just as beautiful as day one, with a little less of a breeze so the open faces were far and few between, leaving shin-high whitewash speed runs for finals day. While not the best conditions this is when creativity and innovation come into play and Team Zap did not fall short!
