2010 OBX Skim Jam UST Stop #5

Some of the best skimboarding in an east coast contest yet can be found in this here video. Check it out and see what we mean!
FULL WRITEUP FROM SKIMONLINE.com
Bill "Beaker Bryan takes home the win after a long weekend at the Outer Banks Skim Jam, and what a weekend it was.
The consensus after day 1 was that if a new south swell did arrive as some forecasts predicted, then the pro finals could be borderline epic for an east coast event, and those forecasts were correct. Quarter Finals were run at a lower tide than the previous day, making for difficult conditions for many of the initial heats, which led to some early upsets. Local favorites Michael Brickle and Perry Wells, who looked like shoe-ins on the days prior, struggled with the poor waves and were nudged out in their Quater Final heats, leaving Woody Harris as the only North Carolinian left in the contest.
Brad Domke, who's hand had been injured during his heat on Saturday, powered through the pain and into the Semi Finals, while fellow Floridian John Akerman flexed his technical abilities and smooth style to propel himself into the Semis where he would take an unfortunate 4th in an intense battle against Bryan, Domke and Harris, respectively. This battle was the second heat of the Semis and the first to see the bigger waves brought on by the incoming swell/tide combo which provided more variety for the competitors and better entertainment for the crowd. While heat 1 didn't have quite the size that heat 2 enjoyed, it still made for a crowd pleasing battle between Morgan Just, Sam Stinnett, Austin Keen and Alex Hood, where Stinnett and Just would emerge victorious and Keen would go on to a man-on-man against Harris for 5th place.
As the afternoon wore on, the women's, amateur and semi-pro divisions enjoyed the building swell and many exciting heats ensued. Finally, it was time for the Men's Pro Final and Stinnett, Just, Domke and Bryan stepped into the arena and the sun-baked crowd gathered anxiously. Shortly after the buzzer, Bryan took off on his backhand and pulled into a nice waist high barrel directly on the sand, while Domke fired back with a 720 spin right at the peak of a tall frontside liner. Morgan Just sprinted north up the beach, slid up on to a backside liner, floated across the lip at breakneck speed and ollied off onto the dry sand, squating hard to absorb the impact and finish the slide up the beach to the roar of the crowd. Stinnett also focused on the north end of the competitors area, riding his first wave well outside the flags and finishing strong with a frontside bigspin. Each competitor alternated from frontside to backside, switch to regular, pulling tricks out of their proverbial hats and trying their best to land with their feet square on the pads. In the end however, Bill Bryan would emerge victorious for the 3rd time out of his first 4 contests this season. Brad Domke would take a close second. Morgan Just ended up with a strong 3rd and another important placing for his run in the U.S.T, and Stinnett would follow with an equally important 4th to add to his point tally.
The final results for day 2 are:
1. Bill Bryan
2. Brad Domke
3. Morgan Just
4. Sam Stinnett
5. Austin Keen
6. Woody Harris

[@heavenandhell69]

Sick vid, but the one thing I love bout all the other vids is missing. You usually have that one or two parts where you show everybody doing something other than just normal skimboarding, something different. I remember seeing the guys playing frisbee and turning it into something more, trying to get pulled by a jetski from shore nd all this other stuff. I miss that here.
