I’ll be honest, when I first heard about the Sub Zero Skim Jam, I immediately thought of 15-year-old kids skipping school and heading down to the beach, drinking and choking on stolen cigarettes. Apparently, that was just me.
The third annual Sub Zero Skim Jam contestants were as pumped on their sport as any soccer hooligan is on theirs, smiling and laughing even while encased in 5mm of rubber, and doing random wind sprints up and down the beach.
Hosted by Skim BC, the contest showcased local riders in a laidback atmosphere with just as much emphasis on good times as on the sport itself. Held behind Port Renfrew’s Big Fish Lodge, the event lasted two days, March 13–14, with the second day devoted to hangovers.
