SHORE-BREAKS: A SKIM BOARDING COMPETITION
With the
success of the Skim-Boarding Competition during the 2nd Kabaybayonan
Music and Sports Festival last April 10, 2015 held at the Apple Tree Resort and
Hotel and the request of the majority, another competition was formulated and
be realized this summer season.
The event
coined as “SHORE BREAKS” was created in order to promote the sport to Northern
Mindanao and provides opportunities to the youth to actively engage in programs
and activities which upholds the quality of life. It also create and develop an
understanding of the importance of sport in the pursuit of a healthy and active
lifestyle and to persevere in order to achieve success.
According to
Ms Bjanesha M. Emphasis, the General Manager of the said Resort Hotel, “the
event is set to be an annual celebration of the sport and/or twice a year
eyeing for the month of May and October.” She added, “We decided to do so in
order to provide a sense of community and allows the sport to progress in ways
that never seen before”.
Skim-boarding (or skimming) is board-sport similar to
surfing which takes place near the shore
and uses a skimboard in order to glide across the water’s surface to meet an
incoming, breaking wave, shorebreak, and ride it back to shore.
Skim-boarding has a
rich history. What started over 60 years ago at Laguna Beach, Southern
California on round wood boards by the Laguna lifeguards has evolved into a highly
competitive water sport. Accordingly, most people know skim-boarding as “that
thing you do on the sand,” and while this is true, skim-boarding has become so
much more than that. Skim-boarding has developed since then to ride waves much
like surfing, performing aerial maneuvers and pulling into the barrel of the
wave.
SHORE BREAKS
will commence on May 16, 2015 (Saturday) from 7am and closing program will be
at 6pm. The Skim-boarding event has 2 different categories. 20 selected
contestants will battle the shore of Apple Tree Resort and Hotel for the Open
Category. Participants must be 16 years of age above to join this category.
While 10 selected contestants will fight for the Kid Category which is open
from 7 up to 15 years of age.
First and
Second Placers of each categories will receive an Overnight Superior
Accommodation with breakfast for 2 persons and complimentary tickets for the
Infinity and Sea horse-shaped pools, Cash, Certification and customized Trophy.
While Winners will get a new and customized Skim-board with all the
above-mentioned prizes.
