It’s not to late to register for Florida’s longest running skimboarding tournament taking place August 22-24, in St. Augustine, FL
St. Augustine, Fla. (August 13, 2025) –The 31st Annual Florida Skimboarding Pro/Am Tournament takes place on Vilano Beach from Friday, August 22, through Sunday, August 24.
“It’s all about skimboarding, from sunrise to sunset,” says Steve Pullara, founder and event director. “We’ll have top-ranking professionals and an array of amateurs facing off on the waves. Our competitors range from 8 years old to over 40, with men’s and women’s divisions. It’s awesome to see the heart they put into their runs. And it’s a chance for spectators to see some of the best athletes competing in the sport. It brings together everything I love – the sport, the community, and Vilano.”
Registration is available through August 21 for this one and only in the world skimboarding tournament that allows amateur athletes two attempts to advance before being eliminated. This creates a more laid-back atmosphere and encourages growth amongst newer competitors.
