Why Skimboard Competitions Are Crucial For The Sport:

When summer approaches so do skimboard competitions. This is the season every skimboarder longs for and dreams about all winter long. This is when it`s so freezing cold outside you can barely feel your feet and hands and the blood in your body slows down like a river that has dammed up. So you could say summer is a skimboarders favorite time of the year.

Competitions help define any sport in the public eye and this is especially true for skimboarding. Being that skimboarding has yet to become as main stream as surfing.

In the past skimboarders were viewed as the weirdos down on the beach playing with some small, weird odd shape version of a surfboard. Competitions help show people that skimboarding is just as legitimate or more so than surfing and that skimboarders are viewed as athletes.

One great thing about skimboarding competitions is that anyone who wants can enter them. In most sports competitions you have to travel the circuit for years for even being aloud to go up against the best of the best. Not so in these competitions anyone who wants a shot at the best skimboarders may do so at any time.

This is also where skimboard companies get a chance to get their products and names out to the public which in turn furthers the sport giving it a good name.

By far more people are introduced to the sport of skimboarding by competitions than any other way. So when you get a chance go to any and all competitions in your local areas and also enter as many competitions as you can to help skimboarding become more mainstream.
