2011 Skim Invasion event schedule

That’s right peeps, our 2011 schedule is coming out!! This time around we are trying to give you the rider more of a chance at entering an event that has waves. So instead of one day (minus the Navarre Skim Invasion where you will get 2) you will get 3 extra days (see dates below). It will work like this: There will be a primary date and an alternate date. Skim Invasion will be able to move the event to the alternate date no lat…er than 3 or 4 days before the event. (Still working on the number of days.) This is why we are putting out the schedule now so you the rider can plan accordingly. Once the event is moved to the alternate date, the event will be held no matter what barring an act of God (I.E. hurricane, earthquake, etc.) This will all be put up on the website.

Also we will have up this week the pricing of each entry for the ams. Here is how it will work. One event will be the usual $25. Enter 2 events and it will cost you $45. Enter 3 and you pay $65. Get the picture? We plan on adding another ” Top Secret ” event and Wellfleet will stay as long as sponsor support stays. So here is the schedule:

Waterboyz Am March 26th & 27th 2011. Alternate date April 23rd & 24th 2011 @ Navarre Beach, Fl

Tybee Island Take Over August 6th & 7th 2011. Alternate date September 3rd & 4th 2011 Tybee Island, GA

Navarre Skim Invasion September 24th & 25th 2011. Alternate date October 8th & 9th 2011 Navarre Beach, Fl

Shoot me any questions or comments. See you at the beach. Flyers and info will be on the site this week to enter. Sponsors will be announced this month. Thanks for supporting skimming and Skim Invasion.

Yes ladies and gentlemen it’s that time…next weekend is the Navarre Skim Invasion. It’s the event that birthed (yes) Skim Invasion. Going to be a grand event as usual located at the Navarre Pier in Navarre, Florida with check ins starting at 8:00 AM. Refugee Board Sports will be providing free food and drinks all weekend. There will be an epic clean up from United by Blue on Sunday afternoon and great prizes (Waterboyz, Exile, Victoria, Freak, Apex, Color, RDS and more) and funness (yes).

Disquis added to all Skim Invasion sites

We’ve changed up our commenting system over to a service called Disquis (pronounced Discuss) and it’s epic. It’s epic because you need one log in to use Disquis and that means one log in gets you chatting on Skim Invasion, SkimVids, and SkimNC. Ever have a question for the writer about the subject or want to spark up a conversation then this new system will be great! All guest comments must be approved but Disquis members get auto approved. So…Get a log in now!

Navarre Skim Invasion is a GO!

As a lot of you have noticed the Navarre Skim Invasion presented by Waterboyz has been very quiet. And the reasoning behind that was nervously waiting to hear back from the county on the permit. But a few weeks ago, Santa Rosa County issued Skim Invasion the permit to hold the 7 time event. The event will be going down this October 9 & 10 at the Navarre Pier(s). The event will feature free food from Refuge Board Sports as usual. Come out and watch Florida’s top professional skimboarders battle it out at the Panhandle’s top skimboarding event!

This year there will be few exciting changes like the trash clean up contest presented by United Blue.

Skim Invasion 3.0

tad

This new site has been a long time coming. New content and a new direction are theme. Alot of thought went into this design from content layout to the colors. If you notice we’ve broken apart the media content and events. This was done because the previous site was starting to push out the event information. Now you can simply click “Events” and you have a page dedicated to our events. The Hub is the centralized home of Skim Invasion and everything is built out from the home page.

New Features:

  1. Hub/Events- As you can tell we’ve broken apart the events and media on the site. The HUB is the main part of the site featuring media and news. Simply use the toolbar at the top to navigate between events, media, shopping and video. Event write ups will be put on the HUB but it’s best to check out the event section for event news.
  2. Skim Invasion Gallery: A lot of people we’re hating the traditional blog style way of checking out photos. So we made a sub-website with an easy navigation.
  3. Wardovision: With the SI Gallery came a new photoset feature from Sean Ward called Wardovision. It will feature both video and photos.
  4. The Shallows: A new flatland blog from Kyle Lynch.

Huge thanks to the following individuals that made it happen.

David Adams
Richard de Ruijter
Frank Hastings
Nick Roach
Tad Mask
Sean Ward

And of course our sponsors that make Skim Invasion possible.

The site will be taken down from July 24 to July July 28 with the approach of Skim Invasion 3.0.

The store will not be taken down. Cape Cod Nor’easter entries can easily continue and we’ll be putting up a temporary blog for that contest.

Read Skim Invasion on your mobile phone

Skim Invasion was the first to introduce the mobile website and we’ve recentley upgraded it quite a bit. Instead of the full website which can bog down a phone a different format is presented to load faster. Presenting the news and events.

The different format works on most all smart phones such as the Iphone, Android phones, Blackberry Storm and the new Apple IPAD.
