Loving these tutorials! Night and day difference in speed and carrying momentum after watching the sand dropping tutorial. At this pace I'll be wrapping waves next weekend!

Just gonna add, dragging back hand just before turn, then use front arm to lead your body during and after turn. Your body will follow your front arm. If you point up, your body will hang up on wave. If you point down the line, your body will snap the turn and send you flying in the right direction. Once you master that part, you can kinda cheat and use more "body english" than just pointing. Your body will learn without thinking and just "do it". Like driving a car, after a while you just enjoy the ride without over thinking things. Maybe the next vid can be on "weighting" and "unweighting". Like getting over little front waves, aka speed bumps, also transition from sand to water. And the push down just before the wave, kinda "ollie" feeling ( but staying on wave and board) during the turn on the wave, then your weight returns to board coming down the wave and bottom turn.

Many people have already said it, but Skim Kids is all that beginners need. I am from Bulgaria where this sport is not popular at all and it is impossible to get a lesson from someone experienced. And the only salvation for people like me is this channel. Blair explains very understandably. The videos are short and funny. And people are learning best while having fun, right. Great thanks for the lessons man! I admire you!

Very Helpfull with the arm tip!! and speed runs

dude just caught my first real wave skimboarding like 2 days after this thank you so much its helping me progress alot

What board do you use? Can you do a video on types of boards

The outtakes at the end are great

Really loving these tutorial Blair. Finally found my Paipo/skim board after like 3-4 years, it’ll definitely take some practice getting back into the feels and scrapping this rust off. But I can’t wait to get back out there and wipeout a couple, maybe hundred times!!!😂

Best skim tutorial I have seen so far, thanks man, keep up the good work :)

And again, that arm tip is a lifesaver!!! thanx :) what to do when after catching the wave, the wave breaks violently on the sand and pushes the board forward?

U inspired me to start now I can catch a wave

Very interesting tutorial. I don't know if you have heard about Cold Hawaii, but I wonder if you can skimboard anywhere? Or does certain conditions have to be right?

Thank You! It really helped me!

Brilliant thanks 👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Blair, Any chance of making a video on how to catch sidewash? I searched around but have found not one video, be great if you could make a tutorial video on it as that would really help. Great job with the videos! From Wales UK

You helped me so muck the girls at the beach are always saying you’re a girl skin boarding

Thank you so much I have learned a lot from your video ! and I would like to try skim board fromJapan Chiba prefecture 😄

Frontside wraps next please

I figured out what I was doing wrong, the poop stance :( I'll work on my stance man, thank you, can't wait to head out later :)

Sweet, man... this video was super instructive... I mean, you should getting paid for this classes but I do have a question: Since I know nothing about Skimboard, is there some treatment for the board as some paraffin or other products to eliminate the friction between board and water? Thanks in advance.

@FrenchToest

Yes, there is wax to eliminate that friction between the sand and the board, it’s called “speed inducer” you can get it on amazon for around $20.

Thanks I did in 30 mins because of you I would love to meet

Im still having trobles riding a wave and doing wraps, please do a vid on that, with many example ridesp

good tutorial

What is your board made of and what would be the best board to actually ride waves, like carbon fiber or fiberglass or something else??

Wet Sand drops are so sketch to me but I'm working on them (In Florida the beaches can be very flat and not downhill much at all)

niceeee your so good...

Gracias!!

very helpfull tks

Can we get a front 360 otb tutorial? I can never get past front 180 without losing my board

Anyone else, it would look completely stupid with a sweat tea on and half a wetsuit. Blair, its a mark of confidence and skill. LOL

Would you happen to know any good beaches in the north east? I go to Cape Cod every year but it always seems that there are always rocks and the beaches and very slanted. That could be because of when we go (High tide I think). Is there a generally better tide to go skimming or does it really just depend on the beach and conditions? Great vid

My pleasure. Love helping people learn this somewhat difficult, but very fun sport.

This video helped me a ton but i still seem to get out to the wave and than kind of just sink into the wave instead of getting on top of it. Any suggestions?

Useful thx
