Great vid, great channel! Why don't you make a video showing some exercises to do at home or gym for improving skimboard skills, balance, coordination?
Awesome vid!! I already have a blairacuda, and i think im going to buy a hybrid after christmas, im sooooo psyched on skimboarding and I monkey crawl🤙🏼🤙🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥 Just bought the hybrid!!!!🤙🏼🤙🏼🔥
Sick shapes and great video! What type of foam material is used for the core? And are the thickness dims the core thickness (before glassing) or the actual finished board thickness? Thanks in advance 🙏🏼
Bruh....doesn't seem to exist based on what I've been researching, lol. Especially if its exile. I live in fl, so zap is popular, and I just got a 52" zap pro for just over 300. It was one of their cheapest for my height and weight. If you're lighter, shorter, pretty experienced, you can probably get something cheaper if you look, as the bigger you are the more.expensive they seem to be. Material also makes a difference.
I’m wanting to get a skim board but I’m using it at the lake to go from shallow to deep water what skimboard should I get to do that and skim far in deep water like if I was trying to skim a canal
Bro, I had no idea Austin was from Tybee/savannah!!!! As a skateboarder that’s been wanting to get into skimboarding this gives me hope for doing it around tybee and Hilton head!
Had my Blair pro model since like 2014 or so before the blaircuda. I've used is so much throughout the years. How do you recommend refurbishing the bottom? The sand has worn it down over the years. Thx -G Jax, Fl
I have a small wooden board from a gift shop and I’ve only got to use it 2 times while I was on vacation so I don’t know if I should get a fibreglass board because I won’t really get to use it. But I have been practicing on a carpet
I’m 15 and I’ve been skimboarding for 5 months and just got a carbon fiber hornet shape. How long do you think it would take to get good at riding waves. I go to Laguna about 2 times a week to skim
I’m 13 years old and I have been skimboarding for a bit but never had an upgrade Im an intermediate rider and live on the east coast I also am about 5’1 what size and shape board would you recommend
I had this idea to go skim boarding in a lake with a bungee thing with a handle connected to a boat. What would be the best board for thAt? I imagine something with good balance
With so Many Types of Bords and Riding Conditions , Is there A Place I Can Come to that Will Allow Me to Test Ride Various Boards I am Looking to Buy. I am Not a Professional So I Can Not Afford 15 Boards Which I Would Like However , I Do Not Want to Ride the Waves but Own Them , I Have Been Looking at the BlairaCUDA and Now Looking at the AK Hybrid Too. I am Using a Double Carbon Fiber 52in Zap . I Feel it's Too Big Or Too Used. I Now Understand I Need a Medium. I Also Started Training in the Gulf Coast ( Navarre Beach ) And It's Very Hard to One Step Down Hill to a Wave that Breaks Fast and Small. Looking to Buy One maybe Two New Boards But Need Help . I Do Not Want to Spend a $1000 on a Setup and Not Be Satisfied. Any Solutions?
Anyone know anywhere to rent exile skimboards in the Los Angeles/Malibu area, I have a cheap fiberglass board but I’m looking to get a quality board but I don’t know which one and I wanna try them out, is that a thing??
I live in Bermuda where the waves are very broken up and small because of the reefs. So the only way you can get good waves is by sliding far out. What thickness would you recommend for that kind of condition?
i dont know where to buy my boards im from the netherlands and there are not much budget board shops al the boards are over 300€ and i need a board from 220 200 €

This pattern of the skimboard is offensive to many of Asian heritage and U.S. WWII veterans. It was used as a symbol of the Imperial Japanese Army during a time in which they committed terrible atrocities and war crimes. This flag often invokes the same feelings as seeing the Nazi flag.
NB That's the point. Go out with the Nazi flag which has same meaning with rising sun flag. You will be definitely attacked or may not be able to come back home. We need to be aware of the wrongs and respect the pain of the past. maywespeak.com/?page_id=105
NB Those who learn the distorted history do not realize what is wrong. Before the bombs used in the WW2, look back at the cruelty of the Japanese troops against the colonies. Don't try to argue with the things you know. Read the contents of the reference address above and study more and understand the correct history, idiot... lol
Perfect timing, about to buy some new ones!
4:23 Austin's face when he got called Austin Queen 😂😂 He glanced at the board to make sure the board said AK and not AQ

Your balance, coordination, and skills will come with practice. You don't have to do anything extra.
