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.

[@boredommedia]

That’s great to hear!

[@camking1672]

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

[@paperpass6834]

that "ahh" before getting hit by a big wave was funny af 😂 1:40

[@nestorcortez3060]

Your progress was crazy fast... Keep it up homie...🔥

[@boredommedia]

Thanks man!

[@jaidenfabrizio213]

hell yeah bro. Better in 6 months than I was after like 2 years. Keep at it dawg

[@boredommedia]

Thanks!

[@HabitualMilkDeliverer]

Watching first person povs on KZbin has really helped my understanding of the timing behind the entire sport, such a dope sport man

[@boredommedia]

Thanks! Got a full year progression coming soon!

[@VoztokTV]

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.

[@boredommedia]

Yeah it is very different down there

[@collingallimore]

great video. Super relaxing, too

[@CodeOfMotion]

Solid solid! I usually skim at rjs after a nice surf sesh so it’s good to see another newport skimmer! keep it up!

[@boredommedia]

Thanks!

[@westnorton2]

Simple video fun to watch, congrats on the progress bruv

[@devosegal]

Keep at it dude!

[@boredommedia]

You'd bet!

[@Jaxsurf895]

Skimboarding is so fun. I just wish Jax had sloped beaches 😂 you gotta go south for that ! Haha

[@BoardObsession]

Nice, I’m a surfer but been thinking of trying this!

[@boredommedia]

Nice!

[@잉대대훈]

Fire bro 🔥🔥 hope to see you at wedge this coming season. Early season best for skimming

[@boredommedia]

You’ll definitely see me down there if you go a lot!

Sick what was the second skimboard you had?

[@mattjones5175]

Thanks!

[@kiheirc3195]

Fantastic bro

[@boredommedia]

Thanks man!

[@rockybalboa_1976]

niceeee bro! how you learn one step drop ?? Brazillian here man, alohaaaaaaa

[@boredommedia]

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.

[@favin1017]

Been skimming a little over 6 months too

[@luizhenriquedutramolino4011]

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

[@boredommedia]

Thank you for the tips!

[@Max444-z3f]

i can only drop it on thin water and not one inch deep water how do i fix this???

[@boredommedia]

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.

[@Max444-z3f]

@@boredommedia Thanks !

[@emgro127]

Looks good!

[@howtodowhithout7291]

great video ! such a good idea to record your progession. What kind of wax do you use to make it slide better on wet sand ?

[@hover_roller_balance_boards]

What was your 2nd board? Is a foamie better for float?

[@treycarino7636]

u nasty dawg keep runnin it up

[@Mysth_fn]

Looks like a insane place to skim

[@StrawHatKai]

Super Sick🤙

[@boredommedia]

Thanks!

[@colbs7625]

🔥 video keep it up

[@boredommedia]

Thanks!

[@murds0]

what skimboard are you using? I’ve only used cheap wood boards and I’m thinking of getting something better

[@ohladthekewlkid1467]

are you from st augustine florida, that peir looks very familiar to me

[@CrPerez25]

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.

[@boredommedia]

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.

[@chaseheck7002]

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.

[@Vojtech10]

i learned to skimboard just by practicing myself on a bodyboard but it worked

[@SkimboardingwithJ]

wow bro, keep it up!!

[@boredommedia]

Thanks!

[@morganmorehead9762]

What’s that board called and the model of it

[@erinmagagna4667]

keep pushing brother

[@thomasdelaporte]

Nice ! Contrats from France

[@Sutton-o9n]

I love that keep it up ❤🎉👍

[@AbramovAndrei]

Cool! What board do you use? I read that there 2 types: 1 for flatland made from plywood, 2 for waves. Is this true?

[@boredommedia]

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.

[@raphaelmarie5715]

Where are you buy your skimboard? And what is the model

[@boredommedia]

I bought my skimboard directly from the Exile skimboards factory. It is the Pro Model.

You should do more go pro from your perspective pov its sick

[@NorgeSquad]

You are good!

[@Liponb2]

Is that York maine?

[@benit6913]

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

[@cgturtles9879]

Fr dude, I just watched a video before this saying to get that exact board

[@Osmosecleaning]

Nice! How many times you train?

[@boredommedia]

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.

[@Osmosecleaning]

@@boredommedia wow that's a lot! That's why your progress is so good ! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@EpikFPV27]

I love it when you approach a wave and go Oh god Yea been there

[@boredommedia]

Lmaoo sometimes that's just all you can do

[@2DreamGamers]

Why don’t you try dropping your board later on the water?

[@boredommedia]

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.

[@2DreamGamers]

@@boredommedia true

[@erlantzbegonaetxebarria3509]

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

[@boredommedia]

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.

[@erlantzbegonaetxebarria3509]

@@boredommedia thanks bro! keep improving ;)

[@sebastianochoa8487]

What was the difference between you first skimboard and the one you have now? Why this first get broke so quickly ?! 😱

[@trahpn9282]

How do you your turns ?

[@lukeacrey7571]

Hey I just started skimming kinda when you did. I hit the wedge sometimes too, we should hit it together sometime lol

[@boredommedia]

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

[@lukeacrey7571]

2:49 that kid got sniped

[@GongasTopG]

Bro no way in only 6 months you already like that. Mad impressive How much time a week are you putting to the sport?

[@boredommedia]

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.

[@GongasTopG]

@@boredommedia 👌🏻👌🏻

[@movingsocks579]

Lol we live in a simulation. I literally had all these moments learning to skim.

[@KNRLYMLLER]

Yo I honestly think I saw you skimming one time before

[@Lukeswan123]

Me skimming for 5 months and still cant catch a wave D:

[@curranjohnson7489]

Lol you run so slow! But still a cool video. Thanks for sharing

[@boredommedia]

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!

Thats it keep trying

[@danamal-ru9gb]

I think you forgot to change the year

[@boredommedia]

Yes I did haha

[@uaman11]

stay persistent

[@Mark_GL]

You need to learn how to kickturn a ramp on a skate, it will improve your turns.

[@boredommedia]

That's a good idea, thanks!

[@micktre7608]

You run like Steven Seagal

[@boredommedia]

Running with a skimboard looks weird when you are a beginner

[@rafaeldavila6039]

What is the fun of doing this? Are you so afraid of the ocean that you can barely enter it?

[@zunerax]

Shut up man, you dont get it. Once you have a few year’s practice, its pretty much surfing. Have you ever tried it?

where did you buy the blue skimboard and how much was it, please respond and leave a link
