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.
