TIPS | 5 Keys To Skimming with Sydney Pizza
There's a lot of moving pieces when it comes to skimming, and in each part of the process, whether you are a beginner or top of the line professional, there is always something to improve upon, and something to think about. Making sure that you remember all the little things, like where to put your feet, while making sure the big pieces, like when to turn on the wave, can be challenging and sometimes too much at once, until you build muscle memory. Here are some of my biggest keys to skimming to help ease the process!

TRAVEL | Eurotrip Final Week with Sydney Pizza & Elian Juarez
Heyoooo, checking in one last time from Europe before it’s back to reality! We made it to Lisbon safe and sound, grabbed our rental car, and headed straight into the city for some dinner and rest. The next day we woke up early and headed to the beach to meet up with team rider Kika Freire at her home break for a super sick sesh with some other locals! Check out that highlight reel on our Instagrams! The waves were super fun, and the vibes were even more incredible. Much like France, in Portugal you have a pretty short window of good skim due to the tide swings, so we got two pretty sick sessions in, and had tons of fun!

TEAM | Alex Yokley in Brazil
The Sununga Skim Pro in Sununga Brazil is one of the wildest events of the year. The wave at Sununga is unlike anything most skimmers ever get to experience so for Alex Yokley, it was definitely a learning experience. She made the trip with plenty of time ahead of the contest to get familiar with the area and the wave but in true Sununga style, it threw her some curve balls. Some days it was flat, some days it was too big, and the other days were all over the place! We chatted with her to see how she felt about her first Sununga trip and how it all went down.
