The annual SkimBash 2021 Professional/Amateur skimboarding contest takes place Sept. 11 and 12 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the Sea Bright Municipal Beach. SkimBash 2021 is the first 2022 stop on the SkimUSA/ZAP Pro/Am Tour.
This epic community event, which is sponsored locally by Jersey Shore Skim Camp, attracts amateur and professional skimboarders from around the county–and across the country.
The contest comprises 12 amateur divisions–-ranging from 8 years and younger to senior grandmasters. Winners from each amateur division receive trophies and prize bags, while Pro skimboarders compete for a cash purse.
SkimBash 2021 continues its focus on environmental initiatives. Winners of each division are presented with a one-of-a-kind handmade trophy, created entirely from beach debris and driftwood collected along Jersey Shore beaches.
In addition, SkimUSA has joined the United Nations’ ‘Sports for Climate Action’ – an initiative that helps and guides sports to reach their climate goals and boost environmental sustainability.
.This exciting and action-packed two-day event is a great way to cheer on local and professional skimboarders, help the environment, and support the Sea Bright beach community. Local businesses are supportive as well, with Lucky Dog Surf Co., Tommy’s Tavern & Tap, Melonhead, Yolk’s on You, 2nd Jetty, Billabong, Greenlines, Ski Barn, Kepwel Water, Canyon Pass, Eyes on First and others donating food and prizes.
Spectators are welcome. Admission is free, while contestants pay an entry fee.
