The internet for some reason is really lacking skim tutorials, Blair is the hero we need.

Not many beach-goers are fans since we have a tendency to dominate an area in spouts of aggressive spurts that typically get little kids ran over or clipped in the ankle/shin. I love skim boarding!

You're good humble and generous. You helped me a lot. Every person meeting success should be like you. Thanks for all.

@@SkidKids how do I repair shell scratches on my board?

I've been an avid surfer since I was 10, which was 25 years ago and I never understood how skimboarders could do these things. Great vid

Awesome.im 61 and have still pics of me skimming wedge in the late 60's through the 70's on a bon aire plastic skimmer....The ones with the handles. ...lolololol i used to be the only skimmer for many yrs in seal beach on south side all the way to ventura county.i have pics of me skimming a papio board as a very young kid on waikiki bch.i really love how skimming have as evolved to what it is today and its because of you young guys pushing it further,keep the great attitudes and tgak you from an old skimmer.funny story...an old kneeboarder named ron romanowski once took my skimmer(the bon aire) from me at the wedge and flung way WAY out because he hated me skimming there lolololol i was bout 13yrs old lololol....i swam out got it and kept skimming....he was pissed lolololol

That's crazy

Blair dude you've opened me up to a new passion man. I'm itching to get a skimboard thinking of trading my Surf board but I still want that. Every video of yours brings back my passion for the water dude , I used to skimboard with my body board before I could surf and you just keep reminding me how endless the adventure is thank you bru!

If only I went to the beach more then once a year D; Luckily I can skim when it rains a lot and a stream floods on the grass. No waves, but if it rains enough, water runs down a hill and you can go down that. These videos are making me pumped for this year tho!

@@jimtwomey If the beach doesn't have rocks in with the sand where the waves crash YES. If you live at the beach then you should easily be able to find some skimboards in a surf shop. Don't get a wooden one since you already know what you are doing pretty much. Will cost like 100-200$ depending on your size and preference.

Thank you so much for this video, you really helped me a lot I even caught my first wave because of you, thank you Blair you are so nice 😆

These tutorials are great exposure for skimboarding. Hope to see more soon.

Yes a new tutorial ! I’m from France and I start skimboarding in December, your videos help me a lot. Great edit I hope you will continue your videos.

Been skimboarding 15 years and this still helped a lot 🤙🏼

Finally!!! A pro skimboarder actually made an informative video on every step in order to skim the way you could ever imagine. Nice. Thanks bruh!!!

Thank you very, very much for your help and tips. Skimboarding is such a great sport.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This looks so amazing!!!! I hope that one day i’ll be able to try this

Thanks so much man! I was wondering about this and trying to straighten my board cause I thought it was faster, but apparently not! I’ll try this out!

Bro..... I love 1000 steps and thanks for the tips man🤙🏼

Thanks Man! I’m just starting to skimboard and catch waves and this video really helped

Just bought my first real board, im super excited, i skate and i skimmed as a kid

What’s up Blair. I’m currently in Hong Kong and meeting up with a skimmer (Victorisskimboardshk) that I met at the Exile Oktoberfest last year. What a great sport connecting people all over the world! Keep it up my friend.

You guys are the most real authentic KZread channel. I play and make music but I am a huge fan! If you guys ever want some free music made for your videos, my brother and I produce all sorts of genres on ableton and would love to make a track for one of your epic videos. Anyway, thank you for entertaining us all and it’s awesome even if you don’t skim! You guys are the best! 👌😁🇿🇦🔥

I'm always amazed at how he rides out with a mic on. Like for me who doesn't do the sport I'm like that's confidence in your skill set. It's like those people who do a backflip on the edge of a cliff.

Yep, articulated extremely well...Thank you!

Great tutorial. Taught by the master.

Blair Conklin, all around good guy. Your tutoring videos are awesome!

Best skimboard tutorial ever.If there is any practice we can do on land before we go to beach,please share also

In the 70's many of us east coasters called it whompin or sand surfing. In my 50's now and considering a skimboard because of your vidz. Thanks for the inspiration brutha!

You're videos are awesome Blair!

I can see why your such a champion (first saw you on RawBeefs few months ago). Just wish I was 50years younger!!!

Great Tutorial!

Back in the day, we used to make our own skimmers (sand surfers) out of quarter-inch plywood. We'd cut them round with a beveled edge and then coat them in fiberglass. The kind of boards they have today didn't even exist and we could even imagine riding like they do today. Well, it's been many years since the 70's but I've been a surfer for years since then, but I'd love to try skimming like this!

Dope. Thanks man. I dreamt last night of catching a wave.

Amazing tutorial- loved the pro tips. I mix skimb with kite as im also a skater- and love the land and water border! Im packing here today to go skimboard with kitesurf combo in Portugal here- and was wondering if you guys can recommend a good www to buy skimboards? The professional thick ones that float like in the video? Im hunting one down all the local shops but unsure what i will find this morning.

Love the hair

I don't live near the beach, I don't have plans to practice skimboarding but I love watching his videos

Skim boarding is my favorite sport ❤

Wish this was around when i was a kid, that barrel at the 3 minute mark was awesome.

Oh God so beautifull skill,i reall hope to have a skimboard

@ANDYCONDA l Yo. I live near the lake and let me tell ya... it’s gonna be hard. For starters, it’s too rocky. The you have to fans a non rocky part or you’ll scratch up your board. Another thing is that the waves aren’t big enough. The one good thing is that the lake does provide some decent flat boarding on the watery sand.

This is excellent guys.

First day of Skim and I left with a busted shin. 2nd day of Skim, I fell and landed on my back to the wind out. 2 weeks late my rib cage still hurts. No broken bones but man this is no joke. The problem now is, I'm actually now a bit scared after that last fall. Going back out today after being two weeks out but I'm nervous asf. 🙏🏼🌊

Had my first runs this year on a Hybrid Board from local shaper HW shapes. No injuries but after running full speed for some hours and no stopping my muscles felt like ruptured 😝 the perfect sport when no waves or to big waves are present…
