EVENT | June Skim Blast Info
Last year, the June Skim Blast went down in Point Pleasant, NJ as its own stand-alone event. It brought in a solid turnout and now for 2025, it has become a part of the Premier Skim West Coast Tour! We’re always stoked to see events gain momentum and the June Skim Blast should be another great stop for the Premier Skim Tour.

PHOTOS | John Akerman & Motowinch Getting Waves!
When you need someone to “send it”, John Akerman is always at the top of the call list. And when there are some waves in the forecast, he’s the first person out at the beach waiting for them to roll in. He recently got the call at Flagler Beach that the waves were coming in so he called up the crew, loaded up the winch, and hit the beach. He was joined by surfer Robby McCormick, aka Rasta Rob, and photographer Patrick “Tupat” Eichstaedt to get some shots. Check them out now and get hyped to skim!
