2025 Fl Skimboarding Pro/Am information below
The Florida Skimboarding Pro/Am (Fl Pro/Am) is the Third longest running Professional/Amateur Skimboarding tournament in the World (As for the Professional division, Tex Haines created the First, Harry followed and then I added the Pro division to my tournament in 1996)
The Fl Pro/Am is the only Amateur event in the World that allows each athlete two chances to advance before being eliminated. This tournament runs more divisional heats than any other Skimboarding Tournament in the World, spanning three full days and over hour 30 hours of individual heats . Skimboarding athletes come from more than 75 different beaches from all over Florida, the USA, and the World.
A Skimboarding tournament dream that started once I moved from Tampa to Vilano Beach, Florida USA in February of 1989. Though it took well over a year to get everything in order to hold an event (The very first was Oct 1990). This tournament has always been my gift back to Skimboarding for all of my best sessions, contest personal results, Skimboard Magazine publications from early 80's Florida Skimboarding, lifelong friendships, and wonderful memories. The Fl Pro/Am has always been an end of summer bash that has grown to exceed any and all of my expectations or dreams. Over the years and into the future, many of my Skimboarding friends as well as personal family members, have helped me each and every year fulfill this dream for the sport of Skimboarding. Thanks for all of their help during this event from start to finish.
All of us hope we help make those same memories for you and your families, all while striving to win bragging rights for a year as Champions in your division in one of the greatest Skimboarding Tournaments on EARTH !!!
​
Thanks for competing in the Florida Pro/Am, all of us wish you the Best of Luck !!

once the event begins saturday you must checkin prior to your heat, some athletes still need the entry form filled out. so that is a priority for you prior to putting on a heat jersey. please do not approach any of the staff saturday morning while we are setting up to try and check-in. if anything you can help. we unlike other tournaments must setup and break down daily according to our county beach requirements for sea turtle preservation....and we are good with that fact and 100% support it.
once we are set up is the time to check-in...again this tournament is for all of you but these are our requirements.
in your entry packets are 2 special items.
1) a gold Fl PRo/am vip bracelet- this bracelet must be worn throughout the tournament in order to get your vip treatment. your lunch daily. this also allows you access to the hydration tent for fruit & water.
2) remember the m&ms we always have - well again this year one of you will receive an extra pack in your packet containing a packet of Green/grey colored ones. who ever is so lucky to receive it needs to come show us during the tournament. you are the golden ticket winner for 2025. what does this mean ?? your entry for the 2025 tournament is free !! cohen marshall won in 2024
