Zed Skimboards is bringing back the Island Skim Session at Saratoga Beach for 2009. This time bigger and better than ever. Come down and watch top international rider’s compete for a cash purse and wicked prizes.
The setting was at Patchedhat Beach in Port Renfrew, where 23 skimboard enthusiasts braved the elements behind neoprene wetsuits four-thirds of a millimeter thick, $20 Wal-Mart Gumboots and swigs of Fireball whisky.
The occasion was the Sub Zero Skim Jam, Canada’s first ever wave skimboarding competition. The two-day rider-judged event is the brainchild of Brandon Wright, a recent UVic Engineering graduate, and the president of SkimBC, an online resource for skimboarders.
