Part of the Zap team has touched down in Cabo to get ready for the El Rey de Lovers contest, as a part of the United Skim Tour.

Team riders Gerardo Valencia, Yahir Valencia, Mason Broussard, Dylan Duncan, Leo Freitas, Romario de Sousa, and Pablo “Machete” Real traded off hits and brought the stoke after each ride.

RECAP | 2025 Panama City Beach Skim Jam
Hello skim world, Zap Skimboards Team here checking back in after an amazing weekend in Panama City Beach, Florida. While conditions were not picturesque, the blustering winds provided workable conditions for the team to show down with and represent! We had a consistent 20-mile per hour wind coming out of the northeast that would build as the day went on, providing difficult conditions, where local knowledge was key, yet allowing for a bump in the water to show pushing for a fun regular-footed backside liner and a random barrel here and there.
