Urban Skim Park

The city’s most central water surface is transformed into an action sports venue. Residents and visitors will have an experience like never before as they glide across the water. No wind, no waves and no boat! The revolutionary Skim Park requires no engine but only a few inches of water

How it works

Skimboarding is a cross-over between surfing and skateboarding. It is easy to learn and great fun. To gain speed the rider runs and then throws his board in front of him in order to jump up on it. The rider then slides on his board over the water. No previous experience is required and beginners learn to go in five minutes.

Show and Competition

The venue is framed by flags and tents. DJ and speaker create together with the audience a fantastic atmosphere. Features (jumps and slides) are placed in the course. It is on these features that the best riders do their highest jumps and most spectacular tricks. Contests with skilled riders are spectacular and attract an audience. The spectator-friendly venue-format combined with a fast pace makes the contest a show where everyone can participate.

Urban Series

Urban Skim Park is part of Nordic Surfers fully developed activity concepts Urban Series and are geared towards new sports culture. The activities in Urban Series are based on creating meetingplaces where a high participation is combined with spectacular and spectator-friendly features. By creating new contexts and inviting surroundings we bridge the line between spectator and participant.

The Urban Series activities can be used as a strategic tool to develop and market a destination, an area or site. For companies and organizations who wish to get involved in their target groups’ interests, events combined with social media are one of the best ways to interact with a younger audience.
