Lucas Fink Triumphs with Historic Fifth Title in United Skim Tour

Lucas Fink, the celebrated skimboarder representing Exile Skimboards, has officially claimed his fifth world championship title at the United Skim Tour (UST), a feat that further cements his status as one of the most accomplished athletes in the sport's history. Fink, hailing from Rio de Janeiro, marked his latest victory this past November, adding to his impressive roster of TUST championships obtained in 2019, 2022, 2023, and 2024. At only 27 years of age, his career trajectory is nothing short of remarkable.

The 2025 skimboarding season kicked off with unprecedented vigor, as Fink dominated the first four events in a row, sweeping through competitions hosted in iconic locations: Cabo San Lucas in Mexico, Ubatuba in Brazil, Nags Head in North Carolina, and Dewey Beach in Delaware. His stellar performance across these venues did not just showcase talent; it demonstrated strategic prowess and physical mastery over the challenging waves.

The season featured a total of six UST events, where each competitor's top four results determined their final standings. By clinching victories at the initial four competitions, Fink ensured his world title victory was mathematically secured before the season concluded, thus allowing him to enjoy the final two events without the pressure of rankings.

Upon reflecting on his latest achievement, Fink expressed his pride, stating, “I am super proud of winning my fifth world title, marking my fourth consecutive title win. This is a significant benchmark both in my career and in the skimboarding world.” He also acknowledged the enduring support from Exile Skimboards, which has been pivotal in his success.
