Florida Skimboarders Crossover Tour

Since all the skims take their shirts off, we should not be sexist and make the skim chicks do that, too

The Ty Evans of skimboarding?

There were long boards, short boards, and dozer boards in the Contest - this is a long board no shirt comply

Adam Burgess, Chapin Atchison, and Barak Wiser seem to be having a good time judging, or Scotty just said something funny to that chick

The skims are big fans of the manual

Brandon Rothe, who won the Contest, boardslides while his girl fends off the lines Scotty is throwing out
