Nalu Nui: A Surfskate Journey in Oahu

Oahu is one of our favourite places to surf, but this is the first time I have been here since I began surfskating. And just like with waves, it provides a bounty of skate spots, the likes of which I could only scratch the surface in 9 days. But still got some really nice stuff filmed in beautiful and unique places. Gotta give a special shoutout to my man ‪@TheRaddiiZone‬ for showing me some of the really cool spots you see in this video and helping me dry out the tunnel to get it skateable. Be sure to go subscribe to his channel for a ton of incredible skate content.
This skate trip was made successful thanks to my sponsors, Whitetail Skateboards and QwikTruks. Whitetail ( www.jackalop.com ) shapes the perfect surfskate decks for advanced progressive riding, in this film I am using my pro model Whaleshark Supreme with the Salmon graphics, and the Feral Cat park surfer, the smaller deck with the cat graphic. Qwiktruks are the ultimate tool for skaters who travel as they allow you to instantly swap your trucks and wheels and let you just click on a new set of trucks in 10 seconds. Because of them I always bring my board carry-on with no issues. On this trip I was able to easily bring 4 truck and wheel setups.

The ditch and tube section were really enjoyable to watch! Anything outside the skatepark always gets my vote! Great video Mark! ❤

Yo, thanks Tony!

My heart stopped on the fall 😰 The different angles and views are awesome! Love the ending clip. Love how you can feel both the intensity that comes from the more skateboard tricks, and the sense of freedom of the surfskating. Great video Mark!

Counting my luck that that I didn't need another costly Hawaii emergency room visit after hitting that huge rut at speed! Thanks for watching and the nice words!

I love how you went from "I'm 8hrs away from the ocean so I need to surfskate to get that surf feeling" to "I'm going on a trip to the ocean I still need to find the best skate spots to be able to release a nice video part", this video feels like you're not that landlocked anymore, just enjoying your skate journey to the fullest and to those like me who got to skateboarding and surfskating from surf and end up, for various reasons, to skate far far more than surf, it sends really positive vibe. You also feel a more positive vibe about finding remote spots our even sharing one with skaters rather than how crowded surf line ups end up to be, with lot of tension, localism and you sometimes just get 2 or 3 good runs in a surf sesh while surfskate often feels like you can go on forever. Sometimes I'm like "I'd really miss surfing and I'd like to take a nice trip" and then I see videos of the crowded spots and I'm more like "No I'm good at my local skateparks and bowls, I'll go surfing when I'll go surfing"

Thanks for this really well thought out comment! The beauty of this trip is that I still managed to surf every morning! Then when my arms were dead, "let's go find some skate spots!" Surfskating started as a substitute for my passion and ended up as a whole new passion. It is great to have multiple things that can bring you this much stoke!

Awesome video Mark, I loved that enclosed pipeline and the drone coverage outside at the banked pipeline. Your friend led you to some really cool spots and you explored them in your usual surfskatorian style 😃🤙

[@MarktheLandlockedSurfer]
