My first skim board was a ZAP. When ,I started to ride waves ,I got a Victoria
skim board.I skimmed all through the eighties and nineties. I miss catching waves.Thank you for sharing.
That’s great to hear!
Your progress was crazy fast... Keep it up homie...🔥
Thanks man!
As someone who’s skimmed for a while this is rlly cool, It’s like reliving the same process, and sparks all the memories of learning to skim
great video. Super relaxing, too
Simple video fun to watch, congrats on the progress bruv
hell yeah bro. Better in 6 months than I was after like 2 years. Keep at it dawg
Thanks!
Solid solid! I usually skim at rjs after a nice surf sesh so it’s good to see another newport skimmer! keep it up!
Thanks!
Watching first person povs on UA-cam has really helped my understanding of the timing behind the entire sport, such a dope sport man
Thanks! Got a full year progression coming soon!
this is so cool dont stop
Fire bro 🔥🔥 hope to see you at wedge this coming season. Early season best for skimming
You’ll definitely see me down there if you go a lot!
Impressive bro🔥 keep going👊
bro ur goin places man ur doing great keep it up this is awsome
Thanks!
Nice video. I need to do a skim boarding trip to CA. In Florida, it's impossible to have your board slide on any type of wet sand unless there's some sort of water on it.
Yeah it is very different down there
Skimboarding is so fun. I just wish Jax had sloped beaches 😂 you gotta go south for that ! Haha
Nice, I’m a surfer but been thinking of trying this!
Nice!
This is a really cool video, keep it up
Thanks!
Looks good!
I love that keep it up ❤🎉👍
Nice ! Contrats from France
Keep at it dude!
You'd bet!
keep pushing brother
good job bro...see ya round Newport!
Thanks! If you recognize me feel free to say hi :D
Nice work my new friend!! 👏🌮
Thanks!
Fantastic bro
Thanks man!
Looks like a insane place to skim
You are good!
that "ahh" before getting hit by a big wave was funny af 😂 1:40
what skimboard are you using? I’ve only used cheap wood boards and I’m thinking of getting something better
🔥 video keep it up
Thanks!
wow bro, keep it up!!
Thanks!
are you from st augustine florida, that peir looks very familiar to me
yo as a 12 year old kid trying to get into skim boarding can you give me advice because every time i try skim boarding i end up not even jumping on because i mentally cant. if you would reply that would help a lot.
Cool! What board do you use? I read that there 2 types: 1 for flatland made from plywood, 2 for waves. Is this true?
Yes, the wooden boards are made for just sliding on sand and the carbon fiber boards are made for wave-riding. I use an Exile Skimboards Pro Model.
Been skimming a little over 6 months too
Super Sick🤙
Thanks!
This is awesome! I want to practice using my skimboard now.
I’m a beginner to skimboarding. I want to buy a wetsuit, what brand and where do you recommend I buy one?
I’m 5’3” and weight about 140. I don’t know what size or brand of wetsuit to buy. Pretty much clueless. Appreciate any advice.
Thanks.
I use a billabong wetsuit, but it’s all really personal preference. I recommend finding a store and trying on a wetsuit so you can get one that you know you will like.
What’s that board called and the model of it
niceeee bro! how you learn one step drop ?? Brazillian here man, alohaaaaaaa
Thanks! Although I don’t have lots of footage of me learning the one-step, I mainly practiced at flat beaches before the steeper ones.
i learned to skimboard just by practicing myself on a bodyboard
but it worked
How do you your turns ?
Is that York maine?
Keep improving bro, just do it with fun
Thanks!
Nice video mate! what´s your second board? I already bought an EX1 (exile) board for learning and I wondered if its a good choice
The cheaper exile boards are perfect for learning. The blue board I was using later in the video (and I still use now) is the exile pro model. It is good for me because I am tall and I lose momentum very quickly, and this board keeps it very well.
@@boredommedia thanks bro! keep improving ;)
nice bro
Thanks :D
nice progress! Some tips if i may, more speed, flex the knees when on long distances, and you should'nt rinse your uper foot that much when making turns, you are actually "breaking" slowing down. Keep runing! srry for poor english
Thank you for the tips!
You should do more go pro from your perspective pov its sick
Where are you buy your skimboard? And what is the model
I bought my skimboard directly from the Exile skimboards factory. It is the Pro Model.
I love it when you approach a wave and go
Oh god
Yea been there
Lmaoo sometimes that's just all you can do
where did you buy the blue skimboard and how much was it, please respond and leave a link
I bought it directly from the Exile Skimboards factory, but here is a link to buy it online: exileskimboards.com/collections/pro-models/products/custom-signature-pro-model-skimboard
@@boredommedia THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!😁
Where did you get your skimboard
I got my skimboard directly from the Exile Skimboards factory
i can only drop it on thin water and not one inch deep water how do i fix this???
I also used to have this problem. I would recommend waiting to water drop until you can consistently get on your board while running at full speed. Also, when you water drop you want your weight to be more centered or else you will sink.
@@boredommedia Thanks !
Dude how did you broke your first board so fast? im about to bought one that exact model, any suggestion ? or you just skimmed really rough that day ?xd
Fr dude, I just watched a video before this saying to get that exact board
What was the difference between you first skimboard and the one you have now? Why this first get broke so quickly ?! 😱
Bro no way in only 6 months you already like that. Mad impressive
How much time a week are you putting to the sport?
Thanks so much! I practice as much as I can and when the waves are doable, which is anywhere from 2-6 times per week most of the time.
@@boredommedia 👌🏻👌🏻
What kind of board is the better one?
it is an exile skimboards pro model, however i broke it in cabo just recently haha
nice job keep it, its funny cos i learnt flat land skimming first
Thanks!
Nice! How many times you train?
I train anywhere from 2-7 times per week unless the conditions are not doable. I live with very easy beach access which makes it easy to go and do after school.
@@boredommedia wow that's a lot! That's why your progress is so good ! 👍🏻👍🏻
Lol we live in a simulation. I literally had all these moments learning to skim.
Why don’t you try dropping your board later on the water?
At the end of the video you can see that I do, but the reason I didn’t for most of the video was because water dropping is more difficult and requires a very solid foundation of one step dropping.
@@boredommedia true
Where is that beach at
I think California
Hey I just started skimming kinda when you did. I hit the wedge sometimes too, we should hit it together sometime lol
Nice man! I’m sure you’ll find me down there at some point if you keep going because I’m there several times a week
@@boredommedia Ahh i used to live down there but now I go to school up north, but ill be there hopefully every day during the summer 🤙
@@lukeacrey7571 Sick!
How Can I buy your skim ? It's nice 😊
Thanks! This skimboard is the Exile pro model. Here is a link: exileskimboards.com/collections/pro-models/products/custom-signature-pro-model-skimboard
Thats it keep trying
Lol you run so slow! But still a cool video. Thanks for sharing
Lol! I used to run slow because I was still generally uncomfortable with being on the board, but I go fast now! Thanks for the feedback!
@@boredommedia you’re the man! Keep up the good work
I think you forgot to change the year
Yes I did haha
You run like Steven Seagal
Running with a skimboard looks weird when you are a beginner
You need to learn how to kickturn a ramp on a skate, it will improve your turns.
That's a good idea, thanks!
What is the fun of doing this? Are you so afraid of the ocean that you can barely enter it?
Shut up man, you dont get it. Once you have a few year’s practice, its pretty much surfing. Have you ever tried it?
