Solid Performances at Holland Skim Jam!

Last weekend Color teamriders Nick Maas, Quintian Buteijn, Nienke van Breugel and Richard de Ruijter attended the last event of the dutch skimboarding season, the Holland Skim Jam.
It was the first time this contest was held and it was a great launch of what hopefully will become returning annual event!

The first heat was already bad news for the boys, stuck in a heat with 3 color teamriders it was obvious one had to leave, and unfortunately Nick was the one to go (we still love you buddy!). Bummed us out but hey, there’s still three in the game! he waves were hard, they were quite big (for dutch standards) but because of their size they lost a lot of their power,  Nienke, who was the only female contestant had some trouble with them too, so eventually she fell off.
Once we arrived at the finals Quintian and Richard were still left in the game, they had been skimming the entire day already, and just like all the others in the finals they were TIRED.

on top off that… this happened. (don’t laugh, this is tragic for Richard)

pwnd.

That’s right, some guy decided to take the ol’ icecream car out for a ride… and blew the best wave Richard had.
Almost nobody saw it… so that sucked bigtime, but yea… shit happens we suppose…

Final results were :

Thanks to all the guys that came out, to all the guys that competed, to everyone that bought some tees and to everyone that made this possible! We made some new friends, we re-united with some old friends, and had a very good day!
