2015 Body Art Calendar Brings Attention to the Sport of Skimboarding

Seal Beach, Calif. (MMD Newswire) November 17, 2014 — SkimChicks, a grassroots organization with a vision for elevating and legitimizing the female athletes of skimboarding, today announced the official release of their 2015 Calendar – The Women of Skimboarding. Each of the female athletes pictured in this calendar were celebrating the first professional division within the sport – the 2010 World Championship of Skimboarding, also known as “The VIC”.

The 2015 Calendar is a fifth year celebration for the women involved professionally within the sport. It brings together the vision of accomplished muralist Lanakila Kelliher whose passion for this project is represented on these living works of art. Each athlete took a few hours to paint and were captured over a three day period by photographer Monique Feil . The result is a series of stunning images that places the female athletes in a compelling light – and vying for recognition of their sport.

These images were featured in the eclectic art show “Photographe Skimtastique” which had showings in Laguna Beach, Seal Beach, and Angels on Abbot Kinney gallery in Venice Beach, Calif.

In following through with empowering the female athletes of this sport SkimChicks has also introduced a surf and skimboarding wax known as Waxy Skim Chix. They recently released an App earlier this year with utilities that help the user follow the women throughout the skimboarding season. The SkimChicks App will eventually feature a link to their very own on-line channel aptly named SkimChick TV, hitting the airwaves early in 2015.
