The Battle of Westerplatte was the very first battle of the Invasion of Poland in the first week of September 1939 and Second World War. A completely surrounded Polish Military Transit Depot (WST) on Westerplatte, manned by only 182 soldiers, held alone for seven days in the face of an overwhelming German force of more than 3,000 soldiers attacking from land, sea and air.
The defense of Westerplatte was an inspiration to Poland while successful German advances continued elsewhere, and helped the garrison's defense of Hel Peninsula until early October 1939.
Skimboarding (or skimming) is a boardsport in which a skimboard (a sort of little surfboard) is used to ride on an incoming wave. Unlike surfing, skimboarding begins on the beach, with the skimboarder running and dropping their board onto the thin wash of previous waves. They use their momentum to 'skim' out to breaking waves, which they then catch back into shore in a manner similar to surfing. Another aspect of skimboarding is 'flatland' which involves performing more skateboard orientated tricks such as ollies and shuv-its on the wash of waves without catching shorebreaks.
