This article is about a professional skimboarder who does not have signficant coverage in independent reliable sources to establish notability. I was able to verify his rankings each year by going to the United Skim Tour site (primary sources). What I was unable to find any coverage aside from video clips of him skimboarding. He might arguably meet WP:ATHLETE as a professional competing at the highest level in his sport. However, a google news search turns up very little coverage of the United Skim Tour events themselves which indicates that as a professional sport, it has not yet established itself.

Delete Independent sources showing notability don't seem to exist. No Gnews hits. Only 2 Gbooks hits and they're by Books LLC, which just copies Wikipedia articles. Edward321 (talk) 01:38, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
