They are also expecting 125 skimboarders to compete this year, most coming over from the gulf coast (recruited by Greg Taylor). I saw da trophies for this year ... pretty cool looking & da Crixx trophies for da pros are worth $10,000 each.

Per Dr Lance Maki, Steve and Barrie Boehne have confirmed their flights & will be flying over here to compete in da NKF Tandem Competition ~ it's a 6 Star event. Barrie won the World Tandem three times, once with (I think) Pete Peterson & then with Steve Boehne. Dr Maki will be forwarding me some photos & I'm hoping to receive some vintage photos from Barrrie Boehne.

Here's more info on the tandem competition. It's a 6 star event which has a $6,000.00 total purse.

1st = $2400
2nd = $1800
3rd = $1200
4th = $600


Dr Lance Maki is 61 & Jaci Remrey is 57. They've only been practicing together for a few months and flying to Hawaii to compete @ the Duke. With a $6000 purse @ NKF ... hoping that will motivate some of our Florida surfers to team up & compete for the prize money.


Below are photos I found of them on Tandem Skateboarding

Tandem lifts were first done by Steve and his first partner Stephanie in 1963 on 2" x 4" skateboard with metal wheels. In the mid 70's Steve and Barrie did a lot of tandem skateboarding. They appeared in Bud Browns' movie "Goin Surfing" and several skateboard magazines.
