    EVENT | 1st Annual Zap x Philippines Skim Challenge

    December 1st, I had the privilege of organizing a skimboard contest in the beautiful shores of Dahican, Philippines, and it was everything I had hoped for and more. The weather was perfect with a sunny sky, and the waves were just the right size for the riders to showcase their skills. Over 20 talented kids, all hungry for the spotlight, came together for an epic day of competition and camaraderie.

    VIDEO | "EL SUEÑO" - The 2023 Skim Season with Yahir & Gerardo Valencia

    “El Sueño” translates to “The Dream”. Dreams are what keep us moving forward, they keep us pushing to be better and keep us excited for what’s to come. The brothers Valencia, Gerardo and Yahir, share the same dream of skimming all over the world and sharing the stoke with as many people as possible.

    SESSION | Team Zap @ Nokomis Beach in Black & White

    Hurricane Rafael took a swipe at Florida a couple weeks ago and luckily, we stayed out of its path but it did give us some waves to work with! Part of the team met up one afternoon to get in some turns while the swell was still coming in. The light didn’t want to cooperate but that’s ok because skimboarding looks sick in black and white! John Akerman even managed to get a little foil in on the waves!

    VIDEO | Brody Chandler Thompson Shreds Dewey Beach

    If you attended Skim USA competitions or made it to Oktoberfest this year, you probably saw super grom Brody Chandler Thompson, @chickenlittleskims. One of those kids you ride with and immediately know there's something special going on. He has that same look in his eyes that Blair Conklin and other great skimboarders had as a kid. He’s a bit quiet but is always watching and taking it in. He's a little sponge soaking up all the angles, nuances, and personalities that skimboarding has put in front of him. You can see it in his approach and the way he navigates through the line up.

    Back again with another episode of “Couch Catch Up”, this time Gnarly Chip sits down with Dewey shredder Emma Okoniewski. Emma, originally from Wilmington DE, grew up shredding the Dewey Beach breaks so you know she can handle her own on a board. Riding with other Zap shredders like the McCoy brothers, Jason Wilson, Sydney Pizza, and more in Dewey honed her skills and developed her style to be clean, smooth, and fun.  Check out the full conversation now!
