Austin Keens' Epic Wins (And Fails) of 2023!

WHAT AN EPIC YEAR!!!! From skimboarding the local break, traveling all over the world chasing waves and snow, getting a brand new boat, and tons more!
Thank you all so much for being part of this year and rest assured that 2024 will be EPIC!
Huge thanks to my team behind the scenes

Come to Nor Cal in 2024! Yes, we have deathly jagged cliffs that jut out onto the shoals, oh and flesh hungry white sharks, but we also have amazing swells! ❤ Have you ever witnessed Mavericks out at Half 🌙? Happy New Year gorgeous! 😊

In Irish mythology we have a sea god called Manannán mac Lir, (Celtic: “Manannán, Son of the Sea”). After watching your lives on Tiktok here on the North Coast of Ireland it also reminded me of when Manannán takes the sand from the Whiterocks Beach out to sea during the winter, washes it and returns it in the spring. This morning at sunrise there was about 50 surfers out at the Whiterocks in their winter wetsuits.

[@AustinKeen]

Epic story 🙌👏👏😂

[@SoLagLocal]

😮😮😮😮

[@LOVTHELIFE]

@solaglocal love the reclining barrel.

My favorite place to be is inside the waves!

[@karagardner155]

@solaglocal epic drone footage!!! The switches are epic!! Building a skim board for a $100 or less shows the level of expert rider AK is!!!
