Alternative action sports by Chris
-Kalemba International Skim Comp- Thanks to Tchiyna Matos from Kalemba Skimboarding (youth development through skimboarding) for inviting 5 South African skimboarders (one female) to this awesome event. We stayed in an awesome place and received such good food. The wave at Cabo Ledo in Angola, 3 hours drive out of Luanda, is amazing. Overall the event was an unforgettable experience.

The local skimboarders were really inspired by the international skimboarders.

Four South Africans competed in the pro devision. I placed 3rd out of 8 contestants. Michael Brosnihan from Durban placed 2nd and Hugo Santos from Potugal won the contest.

-Kia World Extreme Games- It was a privilege to go to Shanghai for the 6th year in a row and to have Earl Abrahams join me. He is a good friend and a fellow South African rollerblader. We both had a great experience. He placed 13th and I placed 7th. I had an ankle injury but people back home prayed for me and I barely felt it in the finals. We would also like to thank all the great people who supported us to go.




-School Holiday Camp1: Kogelbay- This was the first I2B skimboard only camp. We normally go to places that has skate parks. Seeing that the skimboard clubs have grown we are able to do skimboarding camps now. This is very exciting because South Africa has many camp resorts right next to beautiful beaches and it is normally very affordable. The kids from the clubs are very privileged to get to camp at these awesome places. At Kogelbay we skimmed a lot, made a camp fire, had a braai and worshiped the Lord. Three kids decided to commit their lives to Jesus.






-School Holiday Camp2: Langebaan- This was a three day camp for skating and skimming. We stayed in bungalows that were walking distance to the beach and skate park. We had time for some good chats and another three kids also committed their lives to the Lord. One guy even said that it was the best three days of his life.





-The I2B Skate Park, looking for a generator- We are very happy that the I2B skate park in Somerset West at Radloff Park is making progress thanks to Stefanutti Stocks Marine. The concrete floor for the skate park is done and is looking great. The next phase is to set up and fix all the old ramps. We are in need of borrowing a generator until the municipality has setup our electricity point. Please let me know if you can perhaps assist us in getting a temporary generator. Thank you!
