    Finally! Yeah Blair, I’m going to do that stuff on a Bodyboard! Off a bounce wave!

    Yes Blair I love the recent tutorials! Really helping me become better and better everyday! I am looking for a skimboard with a reasonable price and i was wondering which would be the best

    • @SkidKids
      @SkidKids  5 років тому +1

      Nick Galletta this board is the best bang for your buck. You might want to hold off on buying this model because Exile is about to offer a better board for same price in late July

      @@SkidKids Are there any downsides to have an "overbouyant board" for lack of a better term? Im right at 170lbs and my wife is ~120, would there be an issue if I bought the 190lbs board for her?

    @COACH Blair - Hey man, I I just found your videos a few days ago. I'm on the last leg (puns) of healing from heel surgery and started getting back into drop knee riding after 20+ years. Once I've got full function again (without pain), I'm likely gonna give skimboarding a go. Thanks to your videos I'm pumped! I've only been in SoCal for a year, but haven't really had a chance to enjoy the beach until now. Now I've been going every weekend for the last 3 weeks. I pretty much grew up on the beaches of Florida and forgot what I was missing. Keep up the great videos!

  • @oceancryptids5155
    @oceancryptids5155 5 років тому +3

    Blaire's such a G. I'm a brand new skimboarder and the skimming part actually came very naturally to me with a pretty natural one-step-drop and monkey crawl, but the tricks had always been a struggle 'til this video. Thanks again Blaire! Amazing... truly amazing.

  • @tommiluck3729
    @tommiluck3729 5 років тому +1

    Cheers Blair for making me want to get out in the surf again after an epic wipeout that almost took me out for good. Skimboarding is that ultimate combination of skating and surfing where you don't have to paddle out the back every time to catch a wave...which to be honest is pretty appealing to me so I'm going to give it a shot. I'll let you know how I progress and maybe will upload the odd vid for you to check out as I'm unofficially making you my mentor haha. Thanks for your inspiration mate
