EVENT RECAP | 30th Annual FL Pro/Am Podiums & More!
The 30th Florida Pro/Am hosted by RDS Skim Company went down on August 17th and 18th at Vilano Beach, FL. With the team fresh off a great weekend at the Zap World Championships in Dewey, the crew was looking forward to a fun contest back in Florida! The contest format that Steve Pullara from RDS uses provides a great environment for competition with the Amateur divisions. Every rider gets an opportunity to skim two heats with the first round being a placement round where the competitors are all seeded and no one is eliminated yet. This makes for a laid back atmosphere and promotes growth among riders getting their first taste of skim contests.

EVENT RECAP| Zap Pro/Am World Championship of Skimboarding - Finals Day & Podiums
The 42nd Annual Zap World Championships took place this past weekend in Dewey Beach. For one of the most anticipated events of the summer, the event did not disappoint.. In total, there was over 200 riders that entered to contest which made it the largest event of the summer. Every year the event continues to grow and it’s a testament to the skim community in Dewey Beach and all the hard work that Jason Wilson and the team at Skim USA put in. It takes a lot of work to put together these events and we can’t thank all the volunteers, sponsors, riders, and skim parents that make it all possible.

EVENT RECAP | Zap Pro/Am World Championship of Skimboarding - Day 2
We got right into the action at the 2nd day of the Zap World Championships with the Professionals kicking off the day. The conditions were completely different with tropical storm Debbie making her exit. The waves were very fun in the 2-3’ range and super glassy to start out in the morning. The Professionals made the most of it with many rides scoring in the 7+ category. It was not a fun day to be a judge with there being many tightly contested heats! There was 4 rounds of Men’s Professional and 2 rounds of Women’s Professional run today.

VIDEO | Zap Skimboards in Rio De Janiero
Last month, team riders Gerardo Valencia, Yahir Valencia, and filmer Devin Demenezes loaded up to head to Brazil to compete in the Sununga Skim Pro, a legendary contest at the infamous Sununga Beach, aka the skim capital of Brazil. That’s not all the guys had in store for this trip however. One of our newest team riders, Leo Freitas, just so happens to be from Rio de Janiero so why not put that to good use and make him be our tour guide?!
