On the 2nd of May, the annual Exile Skimboard Contest in Japan will be taking place.  The contest will be in Miyazaki, where Paulo Prietto and Steve Taylor recently travelled to put on a skimboard camp.  The locals were some of the friendliest and most stoked people we had ever met and it's a fact that this event is going to be a great gathering of skimboarders from all over Japan, and a chance to participate in the largest skimboard event in the entire country. 

We're pleased to announce today that Brad Domke and Sam Stinnett will be attending the contest and performing a Demo for all there. It's sure to enthuse the crowd and get competitors' stoke level to record highs in Japan.  Having two of the best skimboarders in the world showing a huge crowd in Miyazaki what they do best is sure be a great show.

Miyazaki is a prime location for the event, with great waves, and good shorebreak.  There have been WQS surf events on the same stretch of beach, and it has swell basically year round.  Last year this contest was one of the biggest skimboard contests in Japan, and this year it's expected to have even more participants.  Tetsuya Katsuge, Exile's Japanese Distributor, has been working hard to organize the event, so make sure you check it out.  We'll have media as soon as the event is over.  Here's a shot of Brad Domke showing his approval of the event last year.  He had so much fun he's going back again this year!

Good luck to all that enter, and we'll be praying for good waves!
