The 44th year of the Zap Pro/Am World Championships of Skimboarding went down in Dewey Beach Delaware a couple of weeks ago and we are still buzzing over it! With over 200 competitors, a record breaking attendance at a skim contest ever, and over 20 Zap Team Riders, we had a ball! Three full days of action with non-stop pumping waves, the best conditions this contest has seen in a few years, we couldn't get enough!
A part of both the Skim USA Tour, stop seven of eight, and the United Skim Tour (UST), stop three of five, this contest held a lot of weight for our professional team riders, being just past the halfway mark of both tours a lot was on the line, ensuring that every heat was action packed. This contest has a knack for bringing people together and fortifying the bond that skimboarding gives us all, so make sure to check out the full recap now and some of our favorite memories up on the blog!
Thank you again to all of the sponsors, vendors, athletes, volunteers, spectators, and everyone else who make this event possible!
