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

[@SkidKids]

Is this the famous bounce wave ted?

[@emceebrownbear]

At your service sir.

[@SkidKids]

You are the man! I think we are going to have to make a bounce wave series soon.

[@emceebrownbear]

A bounce wave is like a ride at Disneyland!

[@ericj8477]

WRONG! It's better!!

[@jonoedwards4195]

Unreal, would love an Episode on Boards, how they make em and sizes and such too! Great Stuff Shredders.

[@mellowfellow9214]

Love this channel! I’ve been skateboarding for the past 17 years and have been wanting to take it to the water. Can’t wait to get a skimboard and try!

[@adenguacamole8323]

Loved the video can’t wait till I get enough money to buy a skimboard that you have

[@lionfish4743]

Aden Waluigi same! Which board would you get?

[@Bart3481]

Which board would you get?

[@lionfish4743]

Bartezo exile ex2

[@baxterhennessey8801]

Lion fish ya I kinda got a slapfish✌️

[@adenguacamole8323]

I said that a year ago

[@nickgalletta2514]

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]

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 exileskimboards.com/blogs/news/introducing-the-ex0-an-epoxy-entry-level-skimboard

[@Lodosswar100]

@@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?

[@Naviral]

@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!

[@Maybelater1018]

I got a board recently and have been practicing a bit. I been skateboarding for 14 years and the skill transfers pretty well. These tutorials are great 👍

[@kbmats]

That "bup" when landing tricks xD nice videos guys 👍🏻

[@oceancryptids5155]

Also love the little inserted clip at 1:31!

[@oceancryptids5155]

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.

[@SkidKids]

Glad i can help my friend! Keep at it

[@razbenyamin7057]

You gotta show us how to pump effectively also frontside turn, I always screw that one up.

[@pinto4164]

This is so educational i dont have a skim board but now i want 1 for my summer vacation

[@tommiluck3729]

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

[@candlerirby3453]

I’ve learned so much on you videos

[@connordewhirst2332]

bro ur explanation is so good, thanks fam

[@xam1426]

Yeah Blair your def pushing the levels of skim way into outer space coming from Delaware we love watching you guys come every summer and everything Jason does with alleyoop! Stay stoked!!!

[@SkidKids]

I should be able to make it out there this coming Summer as well! hope to cross paths

[@ericsmith9085]

Love your teaching style!

[@claudiogargano8646]

Yeah! That’s what I like to learn better, I will try more and more hoping to get all of them. And then next step is see you on “how to side wash, wrap” or getting waves like that... I hope you’re gonna shot other skim-tutorial. Great job Blair!

[@kandycevlogs6009]

**loves this** i can't wait till summer🏄🏽‍♀️💛❗️

[@jessethornton9411]

[@knotzcity]

That board looks sick what is the grips u got and the board

[@brendansullivan8075]

Can you Ollie this high on a hybrid shape? Or does the fish tail on your pro model you are using help a lot? Thanks in advance!!!

[@tylermartini6906]

What board do you use the most? Also, what would you recommend for a beginner? I heard that SlapFish is pretty good except for the price.Thanks in advance for the feedback! I love your channel. 🔥

[@AdventuresWithJeffOG]

W HAT A SICK VIDEO. THX BRO

[@ryansafa9253]

What’s the music in the intro? Sick vid

[@team1fitness953]

Just ordered my board

[@thegoatyt.9478]

Would a boar that is covered in grip on top and doesn’t have the triangle thing would it still be as good as any other board like yours

[@defcon12]

Finally 🙏🏻

[@yonkamacho9842]

Blair, you're the man; great content. What's the intro music?

[@days8973]

howling lupus noctre

[@fergus87]

Where do you get that board? 👀

[@cokomairena]

That music is good times with scar's lol

[@franciscorios57]

Is there a certain board you have to get to be able to go out and ride a wave?

[@throwhitrunbaseball8088]

Getting a new skimboard any recommendations?

[@benedictmoral3053]

Good day Sir Blair! First time for skimss..kinda need some help coz we do not have shop here that sells exile but some locals have their own DIYs skimboard., can you help? which one is better: Carbon fiber skim board foamy board or foamy fiberglass. Thank You Sir.

[@laurenmoser5860]

Can I do these tricks also on a foamboard?

[@samobrien4769]

your vids are damn awesome

[@siahjolly808s5]

I learned a shuv it my first time trying to do it

[@mcflyboarder9537]

Blair, thanks for this. I have a question 🧐 what should I be looking for in a first skimboard.

[@SkidKids]

McFly Boarder I would recommend buying an entry level board that has a height equivalent to the height of your sternum.

[@DaveyGa]

Nice vid. Been sk8ing for over 30 years, however I can't do a basic shove on a skim.. got no pop. Does it rely on pushing the inner rail down so the board comes up?

[@SkidKids]

WE just did a tutorial on that! hopefully you find it helpful

[@jamesmottram742]

Hi Blair I'm just getting into skimboarding and was looking to get a board. I already looked at a brand and I was wondering if it was a good brand to shop from. Its called Wave Zone Skimboards

[@AH-xi3pu]

Blair is everywhere 👀

[@ColeSwesey]

I have a skim board but it does not have the grip pads on it, would it still work the same or would it be harder?

[@kidblitz333]

love these video nocappppp

[@lucyella4103]

I’ve got a circle skimboard and I want to know if I can still do tricks on it

[@Slycoop]

Does the fish tail on your custom board help with the Ollie lol

[@dragonjay9500]

So would you say the only pop is excatly like skateboarding or not really

[@calvinkwaak6866]

[@parkersmith9511]

[@jushi02]

Can we have a vid with Blair talking about good boards/HIS board?

[@tylerhall2355]

What board are you using in the video I’m guessing it’s your sig pro but I don’t know if it wasn’t made yet because the vid is 2 years old

[@KateMastCentury21BlueMarlin]

Bro your my favorite skimmer and any advice on what waves to skim on? Btw I'm A guy (profile pic)

[@SkidKids]

Hey Guy! Depends on what your skill level is and what beaches are closest to you

[@maumau1971]

My board is only wood and doesn’t have those rubber grip things on top, is it still a skimboard??

[@adrdurann]

Good Video! Your like!

[@godleefamily]

YO I watched a ton of clips but i notice your foot placement in the videos I swear it changed the game. your back foot slides back damn near every time.
