A RIDE WORTH REMEMBERING 🔥

It may not have been the finish he was chasing, but definitely a ride worth remembering. Sonny Boy Aporbo may have bowed out of Round 3 of the United Skim Tour in Santa Cruz, Portugal, but not before putting down one of the standout rides of his heat.

Skimboarding is a spectacle of speed, skill, and creativity. It's pure adrenaline from start to finish, and Yogi continues to prove why he's one of the most exciting riders to watch every time he hits the water. Proud of you, champ. ALWAYS! 🇵🇭🌊

We can't wait to see what you'll bring to the next Euro comp!

A huge congratulations as well to Yahir Valencia for taking the Men's Pro title and Alex Yokley for claiming the Women's Pro crown. Well deserved, and an incredible display of skimboarding throughout. 👏🌊

And finally, our heartfelt thanks to all of the sponsors who made all this possible. Your support helps keep the sport growing and gives athletes like Yogi the opportunity to compete on the world stage.
