I've said it before and I'll keep saying it, the slalom skateboarding community is the most generous and thoughtful group of people around! I am proud to have you all as friends! I thank each and every one of you for being a positive example for our sport! The SECU house is having the signed race poster framed for all to enjoy.

The only thing more satisfying than finishing a hard day of championship racing is reliving the day over some fresh brews at Foothills Brewing. With 9 time national and 7 time world slalom skateboarding champ Joe McLaren and Richy Carrasco, former world and 3 time national champion.

It has been presented to me to put together a place for all of the race pictures and videos to be in one place. Right now, they are scattered and many people can't access them. Michael MacMahan, Devon's dad, is setting up a page on the official race website, www.slalomnationals.com where you can upload your images and be able to tag and share them wherever you want... Facebook, Instagram etc. More to come soon ....

Posted on October 5, 2017Welcome Aussie Island Surf Shop! When I moved to Wilmington back in 1993, Wrightsville Beach was a sleepy little surf town with only a couple of decent surf/skate shops to get boards and gear.
