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!

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.

VIDEO | Zap in Cali & the 2025 VIC
Team riders Gerardo Valencia and Leo Freitas, along with videographer Devin Demenezes, recently packed up their bags and headed out west to Cali in search of waves and good times on the road to the 2025 VIC competition in Laguna Beach. Once they arrived, they were hit with a bit of a speed bump because their boards had gotten lost along the way! However, that didn’t slow them down because they met up with fellow team rider Mason Broussard, who had enough boards to go around, so they wasted no time and headed to the beach.

NEWS | Surf Expo 2025 in Orlando, FL
Surf Expo went down last week in Orlando, FL, and Zap was right in the middle of the action, hanging out and talking skimboarding with everyone who stopped by! The vibe was electric from the moment the doors opened, and it was awesome seeing so many familiar faces alongside new riders checking us out for the first time. We rolled in with the full collection of USA handmade boards and it was a blast showing them off to both dealers and riders who were eager to see what’s new for 2026.
