Post from Tex Haines…….
Mark Mills wins the Skim USA title in his age group, (Legends!) and wins the Dewey Contest. Way to go Mark! You the Man! Announcers Ed Hayden and Brice Roughton gave the Mark II Model a lot of props during the contests, thank you guys, we needed that. It’s a great board designed specifically for the small wave, flat beach conditions so prevalent on the East Coast and a lot of other skim areas in general. A little extra buoyancy combined with a full nosed shape and voila, a bit more lift and drive off the crests, and a lot more fun! Second Place went to Pete (Polar Bear) Rash, also of Virginia Beach. These two guys are the original pioneers of the sport on the East Coast, skimming out of the “box” under the VA Pier, and into a small sand point ( and peeling wave) left by the currents on the downstream side of the pier. Film at 11 Senior skimmers plane on as role models, and as symbols of hope to all those that want to keep skimming into their later years. It can be done.
