TEAM | 2026 With Yahir Valencia
Arguably one of the most exciting skimmers out there today, Yahir Valencia spent the majority of his 2026 season in Europe. Skimming, and winning the Euro Skim Tour while getting it done with the Zap Euro Crew, Yahir had an awesome year that was super fun to watch. His high-energy skimming wrapped up with his technical prowess is always a treat to see and we were stoked as the year unfolded for him. But what did he think about 2026? And what about his plans for 2027? We chatted with him a bit to see where his head was at with all that.
