Ok, first of all, we know it’s been some time but please understand that we’re busy, and not just busy with the company, but we’re also still going to school, have normal jobs to attend, and going to contests, helping to organize them and working on new prints for the next season is tough!!!
On Saturday the 22nd of August a huge part of the dutch skimboarding community gathered at the beaches of Haamstede for the annual “Dutch Skimfest” it’s become a tradition to end the last week of the summer vacation with this amazing event.
There was a great atmosphere, everyone enjoyed the stickers and posters they got from Color Skimboarding Apparel, also some lucky prizewinners have some cool new t-shirts to rock out now!!!!
Color teamer and head designer, Richard de Ruijter competed in the wave 18+ and ended Second place after Guillaume Detant, a French Ripper.
Also, friend of Color and one of our featured artsts, Thijs Slootjes took first place in the wave -18, winning a sick board from victoria skimboards, Some Tees and more, maybe it’s time to make Thijs more than just a Featured artist… who knows!
Color wants to congratulate all the winners and participants and thank them for an amazing day that we will not soon forget, hope to see you guys next year!!!!
