Day two here in Nags Head, has wrapped up and we are gassed! After a full day in the sun, with non-stop action and some major upsets, we have a lot to catch up on! It was a sunny day in the low 90’s with a heat index of 110 degrees Fahrenheit, with not a cloud in the sky, swell coming out of the southeast at about one to two feet, and of course non-stop action!

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 | Will Grady Battled An Ankle Injury During Jackalope Fest
Dealing with injuries is never fun, especially if you’re in the middle of an event! That’s exactly what happened to team rider Will Grady at Jackalope Fest. Feeling good and skimming well, he unfortunately tweaked his back ankle while training but decided to push through the pain and compete regardless. A decision that could make or break his contest hopes, it ended up paying off for him with a 4th place finish in Men’s! Nice, Will! We checked in with him to see how he feels about it now that the dust has settled.

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!
