TRIP DETAILS
$400+ CONTEST FEE
PURPOSE
We’re headed to the Outer Banks, North Carolina, for the most anticipated skimboarding event of the year—OBX Skim Jam! This trip is more than just catching waves; it’s about building deeper relationships within the skim community, creating space for authentic connection, and living out our mission in the heart of the beach culture we love.
Our goal is to spend intentional time skimming, surfing, and serving the Skim USA team however we can. In the evenings, we’ll be hosting gatherings—like beach bonfires, a film night, and a time of worship and prayer—open to anyone who wants to hang out, connect, or just be part of something real.
We’ll also have our tent set up throughout the contest, sharing our mission, selling merch to support future trips, and inviting others into the bigger vision of what God is doing through surf and skim culture. Whether you ride, watch, or just want to tag along, this trip is all about community, purpose, and a whole lot of fun.
