Get ready for the Preston’s 2nd Skim boarding Festival
Everyone who went last year agreed that Preston’s first Skim boarding Festival was excellent fun – Both for competitors and spectators! And, according to organisers Sandskater and The Boathouse, this year is going to be even better!
The second festival will be held on the 9th and 10th of August on Preston Sands (by the boathouse), and everyone is getting really excited already.
By popular demand there will be four competitions sections:
- Under 8’s
- Under 11’s
- Under 16’s
- 16 and over
We had so many under 8’s enter last year that is seemed best to create a whole section just for them! Entry in the contest is free, but you will have to register with SKIM UK for insurance purposes (£5 junior / £10 senior). You can download you entry forms from here or www.sandskater.com

The competition ‘skims off’ at 11am on Saturday morning. All competitors need to have checked in with Matt (at the Sandskater tent on the beach, below the Boathouse) by 10am. Results of the heats will be announced on The Boathouse Terrace at 6pm. The finals will then be run on Sunday morning, again ‘skimming off’ at 11am. After no-doubt, tense and nail-biting finals, the prize-giving will take place on The Boathouse Terrace at 2pm, where-upon Antigua Joe will be on hand to entertain everyone with his own blend of Caribbean reggae music. We have some great prizes for the winners in each section and all competitors go home with something!
During Saturday and Sunday there will also be a beachside BBQ and Bar, a beachside Sandskater Shop, and there will be hair-braiding, face-painting, pedal-boats and a Beach Volleyball court to play on. This has been funded by the Preston Community Partnership and the organisers would like to say a “big thanks” to Bob Brewis for all his help! |
