Yew! Thanks bro! 👊

[@malcomjohntorreon2177]

I love skimboard woody 🤙🇵🇭

[@Interdiffusion]

Nice and wholesome! Try some different build types too, like the honey-comb core, lighter woods, a skimboard with a stringer etc. Don't worry about keeping it under $100. I'd love to see how they all ride.

[@AustinKeen]

Oh man! I might leave that to the actual board builders 😂🙌

[@savage8329]

Do a woody hack video with the new board and see if you can make it better lol

[@aus109]

Solaglocal brought me here! SO EPIC!! If anyone reading is able to make it over to the South Bay Boards factory in Huntington beach SHOULD DO IT! They sell blem skimboards for epic prices! Also sell blem surfboards too for great deals. Friendly people too, highly recommended if your trying to save bucks on a wicked skimboard! I bought 5 skims and a softtop last time I went there haha.

[@evneleven]

This just shows a pro can ride anything 💯🙌🏼😂 I freakin love this! Awesome job & glad to see you have fun!!

[@AustinKeen]

Thank you! 👊👊

[@zilgjan974]

[@kuro1803]

I love this kind of content

[@AustinKeen]

What should we do next?!

[@mason.skinner.13]

That’s great! Me and my friend would like to try something similar, what kind of polyurethane did you use?

[@poloy2507]

Pick a lucky winner on the comments section for that board 😁

[@AustinKeen]

Maybe we will after the next video!

[@LifeWideOpen780]

Sick job

[@AustinKeen]

Thank you 🙏

[@skimbrosza]

You think if i can fiberglass the woody and it might become a good skimboard to use in general?

[@SuperYouvid]

For being wood, it looked like you were riding waves decently 🤙

[@desertlizard4723]

try mixing the wood glue and sawdust in a small container lol, it was funny watching you mix it by hand tho lol

[@minddistortion4285]

With steam you can make the curves without cut

[@teambadwave]

♥️🤙🏼

[@janl5242]

I can’t do 1/10th of that on my fancy EX0 :D

[@adventures_of_oliver]

I guess this board is totally immune to strong winds

[@AustinKeen]

Facts 😂💯

[@Xnovil_codm]

in the philippines most of the skimboarders couldn’t afford foamy so they use woody skimboards like this one but still rides the wave like it’s not heavy af. tbh there are a lot of good skimboarders in the philippines imagine what they can do with a foamy skimboards

[@AustinKeen]

Yes I agree. I remember visiting for 4 months in 2010, I left the boys in Dahican with one of my skimboards. Incredibly talented riders in the Philippines 🇵🇭.

[@louismartinez1829]

Where's Jason Holloway of CLUB WEST?

[@shallowwater4000]

When I saw this I thought that's a good video idea, can I copy your video idea, I'll tell you when it's out on my channel. if not all good, also your my favorite youtuber.

[@AustinKeen]

Are you going to make a skimboard?! Hopefully it’s better than the one I made 😆🤘

[@shallowwater4000]

@@AustinKeen haha I don't think it's gonna be better because I might try and make a free skimboard somehow, I've made 3 of them but never for free. I'll see how it goes.

[@savage8329]

I actually thought that lady was acting real she needs a film job lol
