After all was said and done the following participants took the top spots, prizes and cash.

SKIM2LIVE (wrap up)

2011-04-26T09:48:00.000-07:00

Team riders Isaac Thomas, Tony Saddler and Emile Panerio headed to Cypress, Texas this past weekend to participate in the 4th annual Skim to Live, a Breast Cancer Fundraiser via skimboarding. The guys arrived in Texas Friday around 2:00pm and were skimming from 4:00pm until sundown. Lot's of filming went down at Cypress Creek-the local skim spot which was an awesome place to skimboard. The Event took place Saturday and the team filmed bright and early before the event. Skim to Live was an enormous event. Over 600 people showed up at the creek to watch and over 8000 dollars was raised toward the battle against Breast Cancer. The contest was awesome, with some progressive riding seen in all divisions as well as some creative and well built features. Ryan Efaw and his close friend Carey Seyler put on the event and did a sick job. Huge shout out to Ryan and his family for their hospitality and to Carey and the rest of the Cypress crew that helped with the event, it was an amazing and humbling weekend.

Spot Finder: Best Photo Winner

2011-04-20T13:17:00.000-07:00

We got a lot of great photo submissions for the Spot Finder contest but we narrowed it down to one winner: Zoel T. and his pictures of himself skimming at Spanish Banks in Vancouver, BC. These photo's were taken at sunrise and Zoel said the sessions was; "the raddest day of skimming I've ever had!"

Spanish Banks is one of the best skim spots in the world. The beach has hundreds of tide pools in varying sizes and depths. The sand has a clay like consistency and makes for great bank slides, endless rides, and somewhat pain free crashes. If you live in or ever find yourself in the Vancouver area this is a "must skim."

To get there:
4707 Northwest Marine Drive, Vancouver, BC, Canada

There is still one opportunity to win so make sure to get your submissions in before the end of the month!!! Click here for info on how to enter.

We just stocked up our Vancouver dealers so if you are in the area make sure to go buy a skimboard at one of these great shops!

Dumas Skim Session

2011-04-13T11:25:00.003-07:00

Last Friday the boys took off from the shop early and took advantage of some spring sunshine at Dumas Bay. The weather was prime and felt warm by Washington standards at a breeze less 55 degrees. The DB team (and some slappy squad friends) rode the shallow stream at Dumas and session'd a variety of rails, logs, and other obstacles. DB Skimboards team rider Logan Davidson got back to Tacoma this week and has been getting some film sessions in with Isaac and Blake. We've got a ton more updates in store including a new episode of "Twelve" dropping this Monday so stay tuned!

New Custom Skimboard Available, New Board Builder App, More to Come

2011-04-04T17:57:00.002-07:00
Here at DB we specialize in the sickest custom skimboards available anywhere. Our custom boards feature die cut foam graphics. In the past our old pro model designs were not available for customization...that has changed. We are kicking things off with our first Re-Issue board. The 2009 Thomas Pro is a pretty good one to kick things off with. The origional design only featured the DINO foam work at the bottom of the board but we've made an additional logo available for those who want it. Take a few minutes (or hours) and play with the new board builder. The color combinations available are pretty limitless....good luck.

Give the video to the right a watch, it's got some pretty insane shuv grabs in it! Keep a look out for more videos from Adrien in the near future.

Isaac and Richard Shred Parksville, BlueBack Skim Jam

2010-08-24T10:12:00.001-07:00
Isaac Thomas and Richard Docter took a quick trip over to Vancouver Island to ride in the Blueback Island Style Skim Jam. The boys took the Tsawwassen ferry over to the island early Friday morning. The tide was up upon arrival so the guys skated the local skate parks in Parksville and Nanaimo. Although the forecast looked bleak for the event, Saturday morning turned out sunny and calm, perfect conditions for the event. The local Vancouver Island skimmers brought a high level of energy and some big tricks to the event. Richard and Isaac were stoked on the level of progression on the island and the professional coordination of the event. Isaac took home some great prizes and two "best trick" titles. The event was a lot of fun. Big thanks to the Blueback crew and local skimmers for putting on an awesome event!

Here are a few photo's we shot at the event. Check out www.nwstour.com for more photo's later this week.
