VIDEO | Zap in Cali & the 2025 VIC
Team riders Gerardo Valencia and Leo Freitas, along with videographer Devin Demenezes, recently packed up their bags and headed out west to Cali in search of waves and good times on the road to the 2025 VIC competition in Laguna Beach. Once they arrived, they were hit with a bit of a speed bump because their boards had gotten lost along the way! However, that didn’t slow them down because they met up with fellow team rider Mason Broussard, who had enough boards to go around, so they wasted no time and headed to the beach.

VIDEO | 2025 OBX Skim Jam Full Video Recap

RECAP | 2025 OBX Skim Jam Results
We did it! Team Zap survived the 109-degree heat index with a slight breeze, ever changing conditions, peeling liners, and great times at the 2025 OBX Skim Jam held on the south side of Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head, North Carolina. After three long days in the sun, the Zap team had a blast skimming stacked heats, hyping up the groms, getting a couple of surf sessions in between heats, and finishing the weekend off pretty well. The weather was sunny, beautiful, and a bit humid all three days making for the refreshing water of OBX exactly what everyone needed to stay cool in the 90 degree heat. The waves were ever changing with high tide, and mid-tide falling to be the best of the weekend. A solid 1–3-foot swell hit the shores of OBX just in time for the contest to begin and Sunday showing the dreamiest of conditions possible with liners, barrels and far out wraps, giving a little something for everyone!
