United Skim Tour: shore break madness | Photo: Skimonline.com

The 2015 United Skim Tour season will kick off with the Cabo Clasic, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on the 22nd May.

The new season is on. The 2015 United Skim Tour calendar has been released. Basically, nothing changes. There are no dramatic changes, which is good news, after all.

Sam Stinnett will defend his 2014 world title in eight stages. The world skimboarding circuit will, once again, visit the Mexican and Brazilian shore breaks of Cabo San Lucas and Sununga.

Casey Kiernan, the 2014 United Skim Tour Women's world champion, will have three stages to show how much she wants to reconquer her title.

The United Skim Tour was founded in 2000, but it was only in 2006 that a solid competitive circuit took shape, thanks to the work of three major skimboard companies: Zap, Victoria and Exile.
