The crew that skated today couldn’t have been more rad. The comradery and stoke was on high, even out of the water. This group ripped!
Amber
Representing for the ladies was Amber Torrealba. Don’t let the good looks fool ya, this girl had style.
Luke
Along with the killer judges for the day was Luke Pallone. This was Luke’s first time on the mic and he handled the commentary like a BOSS.
The man behind the lens, Anthony Liuzzi getting the angles for a documentary he has been working on since last year. He's been to all stops on the tour and has the gnarly crossover footage to prove it. Be on the lookout for its debut sometime in 2015.
Alex
Alex Chapin taunting the judges with this proper front smith across the flatbar.
Amber
Amber getting barreled with a layback powerslide on the kahuna, reppin’ the skim signature soft foam grip tape.
Alex
Alex Hood blowing minds with his keen sense of color coordination, matching the Rasta board shorts with the old school rasta ipaths, not the mention this boardslide through the corner. Yeah Alex!
John
John Akerman earning himself $20 with a lipslide across the long flat bar. Spend it wisely John.
Brian
Everyone was clearly hyped. This group shreds land just as good as they do water.
Alex
Alex pushes hard to get this axle stall re-entry. Glad we got to see it.
Alex
Skateboarding defined truly from the heart. Schaefer was hyped. Top 4: 1st place - Alex Chapin; 2nd place - John Akerman; 3rd place - Joe Ward; 4th place - Turner Tenney
Alex
Florida Skimboarder Crossover Tour at SPoT number one qualifier, Alex Chapin taking home first place after blazing through the course with his deep bag of tricks. A well deserved victory, Alex. Congrats!
Luke
Long time friends, Brian Schaefer & Steve Pullara, and our announcer Luke pose for a quick farewell photo until next time their paths cross.
Jean-Luc
Big thanks to everyone that participated in the Florida Skimboarder Crossover Tour. True skateboarding straight from the heart and good vibes all around with this crew. Shout out to Steve for making it all happen!
