RECAP | Melaque Skim Magia Day 2 & Awards
Zap Skimboards lovers, we missed you guys! We are coming at you with the start of the Right back into the swing of the skim season, another bright and beautiful sunny day in Melaque to get the first finals day of the 2026 skim season going! Sunday was less cloudy than Saturday, a little warmer and the waves a little smaller than on Saturday, with a solid 3’-5’ set coming through every three to five minutes it was still a great finals day. The morning started off with the Pro Men and Pro Women finals and semi-finals.

RECAP | Melaque Skim Magia Day 1
Zap Skimboards lovers, we missed you guys! We are coming at you with the start of the 2026 skim season, down in none other Melaque Mexico with the Skim USA crew and some of our finest! The 2026 Melaque Skim Magia has concluded with day one and boy was it a great one! This year the contest has gone through some changes, with the biggest being that team rider Elian Juarez has taken over contest organizing from team sensei Gerry Valencia. With over 50 local sponsors, 72 entries, and a pro purse of $4,500, Elian killed it, and we are super stoked for him!

PHOTOS | Surf Expo Highlights
Another Surf Expo is in the books! The 50th Annual Surf Expo went down this past week in Orlando, FL and you know Zap had to be there. With team riders like Gerardo Valencia, Jason Wilson, Zeke Williams, ET Beaugrand, Nick Forfar, John Akerman, and more stopping by to hang out, it was a rad time indeed. With some brand new shapes for 2026 like Yahir Valencia’s new pro model the Beast, John Akerman’s revamped Whip V4, the Joy Ride XR, and some classics that are back in the line like the Amp & Amp-X, we were hyped to show off the new line to everyone.

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!
