Mulligan's Skim Jam - The World's Largest 1 day Pro/Am Skim Contest

The 9th Annual Mulligan's Skim Jam competition happened today at Mulligan's Beach House in Vero Beach, Florida. The event was hosted by Shore lb. [shore pound - def: surfer slang used to describe how waves crash directly on the beach] out of Ft. Pierce, Florida. Unfortunately, I was only able to stay for warm ups but it was a great way to kick off the first day of the long Labor Day weekend.

Hi all,

Dropped in at the Atlantic Surfing Championships this weekend at the Sebastian Inlet. The contest is in it's fourth year, my second in attendance. Wish I had the entire weekend to check it out, but there's always next year. None the less, I had an awesome time.
