We are packing up and shipping out to France for the International Skimboard Contest at Hossegor.

The Brit’s are well represented this year, with around 20 British heading over to compete. Amongst them are Mark and Adam from the Sandskater team who recently won a trip to the contest.

Most of the Brit’s are flying down to Biarittz, but Matt, Mark and Adam are road tripping it in the Sandskater van, which will allow us to head on over to Île d’Oléron after the contest to catch some of the legendary liners.

As always, we are going to be shooting plenty of video, and taking a shed load of photos, and we will get it all online when we return.

So because of our trip to France the shop will be closed while we are are away.

Shop Closed:

Thursday 27th August until Saturday 6th September 2008

All orders placed online during this time will be dispatched when we return.

During this time you can email us using the contact form, or leave a message on 08452 037546

So as a little taster, let’s have a look at what the Exile Skimboards team got up to in France last year!

Back in February, we announced the Sandskater Team Challenge.

This was a challenge for all the skim team, to help push themselves and the sport to a new level. The 2 riders judged to have improved the most would win an all expenses paid trip to the Hossegor/Seignosse International Pro/Am Skimboarding Championships in France.

Well i can now reveal the 2 riders which have won those places.
