RECAP | Melaque Skim Contest 2026

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!

PHOTOS | Yahir Valencia with Skim Dubai
Yahir Valencia was recently invited out to the UAE to hang out with the Skim Dubai crew. Now, Dubai may not be known for its skim scene but the team at Dubai Skim are doing their best to change that! With Dubai being on the coast of the Persian Gulf, the potential for waves is there. Unfortunately, Yahir wasn’t able to score much swell but what the trip lacked in waves, it made up for in good times. The crew at Dubai Skim were so hyped to have him out and the locals came out in force to hang out and get some lessons in.
