The Old Naples Surf Shop annual skimboard contest was a BLAST. There wasn’t much swell in the water but the minor wind chop made it a fun event.

Giorgio took the win in the 10 & under division, Yuan Bonhayag 1st in jrs 15-17, Zach Rubin 1st & Graham Shelton 2nd men’s 18+ and Dylan Duncan 1st and Gerado Valencia in Pro. And another big shoutout to Dylan Duncan for taking the best trick award as well!
