Less pressure and more fun is the name of the game. And when it comes to the professional level, those riders are always having a good time and vibing off of each other so that makes for fun riding to watch.

VIDEO | '24 Zap Pro/Am World Championship of Skimboarding Recap
The ‘24 Zap World Championship of Skimboarding isn’t our favorite contest because we sponsor it…it’s our favorite contest because there’s no place quite like Dewey Beach, DE! The atmosphere, the beach, the waves, the town, the people, and the vibes are always on point and make for the best weekend every season.
However, this year was a bit different with the presence of Hurricane Debby trying to rain on our parade, figuratively and literally. This made for some pretty tricky conditions for the riders on the first day of the contest but luckily for everyone, the storm moved on and we had much more “Dewey-like” conditions for the remainder of the event.
