COSTA MESA, Calif.--()--D6 Sports, distributor and manufacturer of sporting goods focusing on the action sports and wheeled categories, today announced the debut of the D6 SurfSkimmer, an innovative skimboard with gripper technology designed to give riders a chance to learn to skim within minutes on the water.

“We are proud to announce the arrival of our D6 SurfSkimmer,” said Jeff Balaban, Senior Vice President, D6 Sports. “We have licensed brands and produced incredible sporting goods for many years, but to unveil this product that creates a new category in action sports is very exciting to us.”

Making its public debut at Zack’s Pier Plaza in Huntington Beach, CA on June 1st, the D6 SurfSkimmer offers a hands-on skimboard experience that is both fun and safe. The D6 SurfSkimmer is designed with gripper technology, a stable handle and sleek design allowing the board to glide effortlessly over the white wash giving children of all ages the opportunity to experiment and excel in skimboarding. The gripper bar easily comes off so each board becomes a traditional skimboard. The 2-in-1 functionality allows for easy learning and advanced maneuvers.

On June 7th, D6 Sports will join over 40 women from Social Media Moms and New Jersey Digital Moms at the #JerseyLove Retreat in Belmar, NJ. Traveling from all over the country, the moms will convene for the first time ever to utilize their social reach to help raise awareness for and promote the reopening of the Jersey Shore for the 2013 summer season. Now that the official ceremonies are over, the women want to document real families, moms and kids having fun to demonstrate that the Jersey Shore is still a great place to vacation and visit. They will do this by experiencing it in real life and telling their stories virtually on a myriad of social media platforms.

“I am a New Jersey native who has, literally, hundreds of friends and family members who were affected by Sandy so when we learned of this event, we had to get involved,” said Ben Young, Vice President of Creative and Marketing for D6 Sports. “We have partnered with Eastern Lines Surf Shop to treat the moms to surf and stand up paddleboard lessons, while we introduce the new D6 SurfSkimmer. After the event, we will donate several boards to the local shops so people can continue to enjoy the beach all summer.”

D6 Sports and the #JerseyLove Retreat moms will also present Mayor Matt Doherty with a donation to the Belmar Relief and Recovery foundation that was created to assist displaced families and help rebuild the Belmar Boardwalk after Superstorm Sandy.
