Thanks for sharing. Couple of things that help me but weren't mentioned in the video:
- Keep the board pointing to the ocean during the drop
- Starting leaning into the drop when you're on your *back* foot, touch the water with the board at the same time you're stepping with your *front* foot
- Always stretch your hamstrings (the most important tip)
Can you make a video about once you reach the wave how to do a turn and catch the wave please
Look at skidkids video on it
Yeah
@@sld2954 Austin and Blair are literally the 2 best skimboarders I watch on UA-cam
Skimmed for the first time today, omg I decided to skim in an area of the beach with a crap ton of rocks and pebbles, and had a gnarly cramp at the end of the sesh, hitting it again first thing tomorrow 👍
I skim the uk and I have always struggled to get out to the bigger waves. I cant believe how effective monkey crawl and side slip is! I just rode my local spot and for the first time ever I am reaching head high waves! I cant thank Austin enough!!amazing! Cheers
imagine austin was 47 years old and now be called ak-47
Sick🤙 been waiting for tutorial on side slips
You are the best. Watched all of them. I’m down here in Fort Lauderdale and this is going to help out big time.
Skimmed for the first time today in like 8 years. God I missed how much fun this is.
So, so good dude. Thank you very much and greets from Switzerland!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I watch you on Instagram , I have waited soo long for this, I saw the old video was difficult for a noob like me but seeing this , I’ll be back to falling again !
The end is totally funny! Thank you for the tip!! Best teacher I know!!!
Good video AK... The ending killed me hahaha! 🤣 Happy Christmas man! 🎄🎅🏻🤙🏼
You the man. Great tutorial. I can't wait to try it out.
I barely ever see you do it but a video on pumping would be nice.
Such a good video! 🙏 Thank you so much!
I think I'm I'm gonna be in a world of hurt and frustration this summer...been watching your videos in preparation to start skimboarding, as a beginner. I'm confident; just not experienced!! Hahaha! Thanks for the videos!
awesome vid! can you do a video about ideal skim conditions and what to look for when reading a surf report?
This changed the game for me thanks!
Each time I watch your video I learn something new 😀
Best channel EVER👍👍👍
Briljant and entertaining tutorial m8, your very good at explaining! hope I get it down!

Greattt video!!!
Dude just makes it look so easy
very good instruction
Im in Barbados and there is so much wind a normal drop does not work most of the time. Today i will try monkey dropping, thanks AK
Let me know how it goes! Stoked you got some good tips from this!
thanks austin!
Gotta love it!
Brilliant, iam gonna try the monkey the next time out. I always jump with two feets at the same time on the board, stepping might be a bit faster but with a higher chance to twist an enkel, I think.
the monkey crawl is great for flat beach skimming. i’m from vilano beach, fl and it makes it so much easier to get out to waves that are far out
I’m in west palm I agree it makes it so much better
You misunderstood Austin. If you are skimming out to the waves you are not "flat land skimming." Flat land skimming means skimming along the shore and not trying to go out to deep water. However Austin does not make a valid point about this because he says if you are putting the board down in knee deep water you can monkey crawl easier. But that's silly because #1: No one will try to run in knee deep water. Anyone will drop by the time you get over your ankles deep. #2: In almost all of Austin's demo monkey crawl drops he is dropping in water less than an inch deep, so there is no "height advantage" as he describes. He even mentions "one step deeper into the water," which is about right, but one step does not take you from sand to knee deep water. He also mentions that the point of monkey crawl is to maintain momentum, but that can work just as easily on the sand as it does on the water. Conclusion: monkey crawl can be used for flat land skimming just as well as going out to the waves. I think the advantage might be better expressed as "monkey crawl will allow you to take a step or two into the water whereas a one step drop must start out on the sand. Starting your skim already on the water allows you to conserve a little momentum that would otherwise be lost on the higher friction sand."
@@TheLarryBrown I will begin practice monkey crawl only because the wind. Too dangerous to run at full speed and do one steep with wind.
Epic Wave at the end. 😉
That dive starting at 2:39 is so cool!
great tutorial
Lots of important points.
Very good!! 🏄😁👍🇲🇽
you're The Master! Greetings from Italy
2:40 the best part of the video
Thank you
Thank you for sharing!
Happy to help!
Hey sick vids
I rate u teach us howtta send ourselves 10ft into the air of a wave 😂
ripper video legend!
Tanks !!!
Thats why you're the Keen of Kings. (Slow clap)
Hi Austin! What's the maximal Wind you can tolerate with the monkey crawl? I live in Corsica Island (France) and we have nice surfing waves, but often with strong winds. I've understood, this tool is useful to avoid the board drop when it's windy.
The ending is the highlight of the video 😂
So great
Glad you liked it!
I just got a new skimboard!
Amazing video and help. What beach is this?
5:50: Skimboarding is "confident aggression"
top video thaks
Hey Keen I know boards are based on weight. I gained like 20 lbs this pass year. What size board you suggest? I have a large exile. I'm 220 hehe.
Best "best wave ever!".
Rad....🤙🏻
I had to like the video because of what he did at 2:43
I think when you do it you call it a Keen Krawl🏄🏻♂️
What board are you using in this video
🍍🍻🍍🍻🍍 awesome video 👍
awesome video.
Is slim baurding on a boogie ok?
which beach do you go to
Здорово! Мне нравится!! Правда не все понимаю!! Да и такого океана у нас нет!! А так можно было бы попробовать)))))))
What are the wax for easily sliding to the sand?
Zum speed wax on the bottom of the board. Surprising that almost no skim videos cover or even mention the subject of wax.
What beach are you at
Brand new to skim boarding but I really feel like I would have a lot less trouble gaining speed by perfecting the monkey crawl... how highly do you recommend that? Got my one step down, but I’m getting no speed and no distance, the faster I run the worse my drop is and the more I wipe out, currently icing two knees before I go out and try again tomorrow. The monkey crawl just looks a lot easier at least to me to pull off considering my only issues is dropping while running fast enough to catch a wave. When I go half speed and focus on mechanics, I don’t struggle but I get maybe 15-20 ft in distance. Any tips help!
Im in the same situation... Try using eelsnot or speed wax
Skimboard acid drop tutorial would be dope!? (Please)
More like skimboard acid drop dead.
2:40 LOL :D
I was monkey crawling in Northwest Florida 30 years ago
I keep struggling with my monkey crawl. Once I’m on the board I’m always too much onto the left side and end up causing drag and an instant stop
I'm getting old but I bet I could catch a few waves, skateboarding wile younger shud help, ggz
2:42👍
Have anyone tried this and a huge wave is coming right in shore and before you even step on the board your like “helllll nooooo”
Sup broskie🤙
Got any grindage?
I can’t get my side slip right, I’m 15 I’ve been skimming for years I just can’t get that right, I always either dig in my heals or I catch my front lip. Monkey crawl I’m still working on. Also yea I ride goofy.
You probably need better wax
7:43
0:55
I always thought they just speed checking
can you do that with a wooden skimboard?
If the conditions are right, the waves nearby, you could, but epoxy boards have more float and gets you fearther out, the best boards are from carbon.
Yes, but once you get good enough to skim out to the waves go ahead and invest in a foam core board.
How long have you been skimboardong for
Twenty or thirty minutes.
2:37 my mans controller disconnected
Would this work if for goofy people??
Alan King YES IT IS THE SAME
3rd comment gang
9:50. You can go ahead and turn off the charm. I am immune.
3:22: Yeah, but then you hsve to bring your knees WAAAAY up, higher.
Correct. Austin does not make a valid point there. In almost all drops shown he's in an inch or two of water.
😂😂😂. 👍😁👍
