Another load of photos from the archives today, with pic's from the 2007 Challaborough skimboard contest photos.
This event was the start of a 5 series tour around the south west UK, and the turnout was good for this event.
The contest was won by Mark Mason.
More from the photos archives with the inclusion of the photos taken at the 2005 UK Skim Fest held at Challaborough Bay in south Devon.
It was held on the 17/18 September 2005, and was sponsored by Sandskater, Zap Skimboards and Exile Skimboards
Here's the photos from the very first Preston skimboarding contest in Paignton, Devon.
A contest we designed for the local kids, and it has happened every year since this first event in 2007.
Enjoy the trip back in time, when everybody looked so much younger!
Heading back in time to April 2008 when a big easterley swell hit Paignton. Here are some of the photos we took of the surf and local surfers who made the most of it!
Most headed for "cowards corner", but Gary Wells made it out at the pier to score some big Paignton waves - big for Paignton anyway!
We often get a few emails asking where the certain beaches are that people have seen here on the website, and people have asked why we don't post up the names of some of the spots.
Some beaches are still secret spots, and have a strong local presence. In the past, on occasion, I have been asked by the locals not broadcast where certain spots are - and we respect this.
If you are reading this, then welcome to the new re-designed Sandskater blog.
The old Sandskater website design had been around for about 4 years, so I thought it was long overdue a spring clean and tidy up.
So the first thing I did was move the whole site back onto the original Sandskater.co.uk domain, and then placed it on a new powerful private server.
After updating to the latest software, I re-designed the pages, but kept the same colour scheme that Sandskater has been known for. Then a bit of tidy up of the product pages, which now automatically detect your location and show products that are available in your part of the world.
So here it is, a fresh new look for 2012! If you find any bugs please be sure to let me know.
One final point - the header image (next to the Sandskater logo) will change on each page refresh. Keep an eye on it, as I plan to use some of my large back catalog of photos in the next few weeks, so you might just see yourself!
