Brad Domke - Tow-in Skimboarding? Finless Surfing? - Exile Skimboards

Brad Domke is redefining what can be done on a skimboard. But what should it be called? Tow-in finless surfing? Tow in skimboarding? Skurfing?? Awesomeboarding?????
We honestly have no idea.
Watch the video then leave a comment telling us what you think it should be called...?
We are still trying to wrap our heads around what we just uploaded....
Boo bang!

Dude............thats dope.

[@lavapix]

Negative comments always crack me up. (The sarcastic ones I get) So, he's getting towed in, How the hell else do you catch waves like that on a skimboard. Thank goodness for people willing to try new stuff. I remember when most hated snowboards and laughed at people on them. How'd that work out? Great stuff Brad. Looked real fun.

[@rickrobsrshaw5585]

Wow! As an old guy I am going back to the roots of my surfing. Sore back has lead to a rerun of knee boarding, handplaning and now an Aussie surf mat.. but this kid is incredible. All i've ever seen people do on skim boards is them breaking their wrists and ankles slapping themselves down on the sand. Maybe its not what you ride thats important, but the fact that you ride something and you're NOT on the couch..

[@hurleycapetown8420]

Watched this 3 years ago and again now,and im still in awe,so amazing !

[@drumaloha1]

I don't have adequate superlatives to praise this. this rates as the most amazing thing I have seen in a long life of surfing. Brad, you are doing something beyond belief!

[@kitohol]

Absolutely jaw dropping... throughout the whole vid.

[@jasongilde5112]

One of the most amazing things I've seen. That shove it on the face of a massive impending barrel was insane.

[@RebeccaOwenIvyandCo]

lost for words. No fins is the new thruster. cant wait to see what the next 5 years of finless surfing brings us. Brad your my Hero!!

[@surferocker95]

I have a feeling its like trying to hold a manual on a skateboard on a big hill. mad respect for this.

[@paulbrinkworth4379]

Man I have watched this about 30 times, it always blows me away. Respect.

[@mctavishboy]

Has evolving and seeing the evolution of surfing been a trip or what??? As has always been the story, the future holds yet even more spectacular varieties of expression. I love living through these ever-changing and evolving artists interpretations. Thanks for sharing.

[@jackpeters1598]

Gets me pumped to go skim and surf all day. Such an inspiration

[@chilp9773]

anyone doggin on brad is scared of change this kid is killin it and tryin new shit.... pushin limits. Hes straight flyin and makin it look easy. insane work bro keep doin your thing

[@lliamsmith5859]

O.O seriously taking skimboarding to a whole new level, fkn respect!

[@robbeedie1021]

It should be called 'Extreme Surfing'. Brad was determined to go surfing and he certainly showed us all another way to approach riding waves. Thanks for sharing your stoke with us.

Please anyone tell this guy what skim boards are made for? :-D Please tell him ASAP. He's making a fool out of us all... surfers :-D

[@peterned5316]

Come to Aus and things should work for a better life./surfing......etc.

I'm in Portugal and things are also working out for me here even with all the adversities of the EU. I don't want to bother anyone on your side of the planet :-D

[@Dylannicklin]

how is he making a fool out of us surfers? he's shredding lol

Dylan Nicklin, I was being sarcastic man. Of course he's shredding :-D He's way better on a skim board than most of us on a regular surfboard :-D

[@peterned5316]

I have received this guys same comments on many occasions and I do not know why? The surfers is shredding the wave: Hey BRO can you do this! or do you swim.....

[@ladzki5]

This is absolutely incredible. Being able to stay on the board while washing out and spinning at those speeds is pure talent. Props to Domke

[@CycleTom]

This is awesome! Want to watch this all day long!

[@MrGnarlyFTW]

This gave me goose bumps. Speechless.

[@deadalan1]

Ive rode with Brad several times at wave house San Diego, this guy has soooo much talent, I hope the best for him where ever the surf may lead him. Thank you Domke.

[@ClubKainalu]

World-class talent, minimal board volume = major performance This should open up a lot of eyes in the surf world.

[@mattcauth]

Unreal. Can honestly say I've never seen anything quite like this - unreal control on a skim. Most people would gun up on those waves and he's getting epic barrels on a skim - insane.

[@tlslvt]

Mostly in Mexico, and for those of you that want to try and bring up the skim vs surfing thing, just know that brad surfs equally as much as he skims. Brads a good friend of mine, and trust me, he's got respect for it all. Sick vid bud!

[@JaysWave75]

Freakish ability! sooooooo sick! Keep up the good work! I have been claiming the ability of skimmers since I saw the boys do it right on Maui 20 years ago...next-level waveriding.

[@leep2568]

Whoever said "whats the point" needs to give it a go and then have a serious think about what this bloke has done. One of the most amazing pieces of surfing/ rail control I have seen, absolutely epic.

[@euripideesshreds]

This is the BEST Inspiration for my next little craft, finless of course. Mahalo !

[@mattwalter5310]

Domke never stops killing it... frig the 3 shuv... and the speed he is slaying on those waves on his skim man... insane skill

[@pukemuri5722]

Cheers Brad Enjoyed this immensely, top shelf all the way through, yeyah!!!

[@leonz6429]

I've been surfing for decades. Started on a 9'6' Hansen and went as small as a 5'6" Fish. Mr. Domke has pushed it to the limit? The next step is surfing using only bare feet? Loved the video and I'm also wondering what the music is.

[@TylerNewman4130]

beautiful work brad and great editing dylan!

[@kirktaylor885]

totally agree braddomke is the biggest blast of natural surf feel that I have ever seen. the other buzz is when you actually ever considered oneself proficient on a skimboard, the limits are so much bigger than previously conceived and so goes the evolution.

[@fonso667]

you're the next level!! so good man!!

[@WeexONE]

This awesome video shows the many Possibilities of the skimboard. It's my favorite sliding sport, thank you Exile to return it honor ! :)

[@TheHeyjudes]

Epic skimurfing... it inspires our sports for the future.

[@MrAvitalido]

awesome video!!! unbelievable

[@zing75]

Serious skills, big respect bro!

[@tumtum821]

Epic! Mad skills!

[@reidimus]

This is the most epic thing I have ever seen. Pura Vida from Costa Rica!

[@vaughnsigal4560]

3:22- most perfectly shaped wave I have ever seen

[@savannahbowers4135]

This video is so gnraly!! It's gets me so hyped to go skim or surf!!

[@liquidoamor]

Plus! This is one of the most heavy water waves in Mexico! ...big respect for this guy!

[@MrGnarlyFTW]

not to be forgotten to mention, but Dylan did an excellent job!!!

[@Raycetruck]

Great riding, beautiful waves man.

[@Diffusion8]

Mind blowing! 🤯

[@SwAImy]

This is the best surfing I've ever seen. He needs little fins which can drop down and engage on the bottom turn and then pop back up.

[@danielnordson7593]

So sick man, keep it up

[@goseeworm]

HEAVY! Mad props to Domke - the guy is CHARGING!

[@axeaboutme7]

3:22 - 3:32 absolutely perfect

[@thedoja]

Real video. Hopefully it goes viral. Definitely really hard to hold a line on a wave that big on a skimboard.

[@joeystark8531]

[@reells571]

Guy, you are great.

[@Tom_1138]

Wow, that looks incredibly difficult, he is clearly a great surfer. Looks pretty hard to control though, makes you wonder why you'd use that in a barrel instead of a surfboard. Respect to him for being able to do it though!!!!

[@IhateMakingThese69]
