RECAP | 2025 Old Naples Surf Shop Skim Jam
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. Everyone was throwing down their best tech tricks to make the most of the conditions. Our team pulled through and made it to the podium. 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!
