Pro Skimboarders Attempt Riding Explosive Shorebreak Waves

The first large swell event of the winter in California made for some very entertaining shorebreak. This wave is extra dangerous and close to the beach when the tide is high and the swell is just starting to build. Professional Skimboarders and Body Boarders risk some serious sand slams in hopes to get the one special wave that shoots them out on to the shore unscathed.

Blair's ability to read the waves is unmatched. would love to see a video where he just watches and analyzes other riders, like a 'how to' video on reading waves

[@vulpes122]

yes that would be awesome.

[@raidergeyer4663]

Spend some time in the water and you can be just as good, reading waves.

[@did_by_kid]

That's a great video idea. Just Blair observing other skimmers readings n timing. I'd love to see that video might be able to help since I'm struggling

[@joelmichael777]

The waves and skim work are amazing, but my favorite by far is the commentary!!!! “What……..OH MY GOSH”. Nothing better about the ocean than remaining in constant disbelief for how awesome it is!!! Being this connected to nature really can cause this much genuine excitement in your life…….pure stoke👊🏻🙏😊

[@jeffkwak2190]

Congrats Blair for 3 million subscribers! 😮 I used to watch when your subscribers was at 6,000 and I was thinking, that's rediculous 😢 I'm glad you're getting world wide recognition that you deserve 😁🤙🏄

[@CarlMTrias]

I am not a surfer nor a skimboarder but I started watching him around that count too!

[@jediskimboarder]

Garret great job helping Blair, loved your recent video contributions of skid kids and commentary lol. 🤙

[@thomascolbern699]

What a great bunch of kids. Respectful, clean language, class athletes that represent Cali well.

[@starkotic]

Blair is in a class all his own. I've been directly involved with the ocean since the 50's and his awareness is special. A lot of very talented wave riders came from the Laguna area. Carry on Blair.

[@the_pov_channel]

The screams of terror / excitement at the end 😂😂😂 so relatable

[@gro2gro]

I never leave a comment but the beginning of this nice shot of the sand

[@feanorwerm]

Strong "BBding Enough Said!!!" vibes in this clip. So sick with the boogie and skim trade offs.

[@victorhalada5800]

Wow, you fellas scored some GOOD ones!!! Soo Rad!!! Back wash looked Crazy!!!😇🤙🏽

[@O.c.ghost...]

G.o.a.t. Blair the ballerina!!💯👀🦅🌊🕺

[@alangomes3346]

The last wave the guy filmed was very sick and fun 😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@user-de8hg8nw9c]

Congrats on 3 million subscribers

[@nathanmyers1253]

Ha ha, great stuff. Been cool watching this channel blow up. Well deserved. Keep charging it.

[@stephenbarnes2189]

Bro this guys timing is impeccable

[@careyconklin8816]

Amazing show of nature and rider. The place like no other. Power and then some! 💥

[@MorgellonsDelusion]

There is a gigantic risk to riding inshore waves like that. I was body surfing a pretty big wave south of Rosarito Beach, Mexico when I was 27. An extra big set came in ... as I was at the top of that wave ready to drop down naturally much of the water was drawn out that left about 2 ft of water for me to land in I tried to back out of the wave sideways and I wound up being driven down onto the Sandy Bottom. that wave rolled me right over my left arm snapping my upper arm just like a twig and shattering it and dislocated it. It was a terrible break and took a long time to heal. Lot of fun to ride those Inshore waves but the sand that you might hit that's the big factor that many probably don't think of. So have fun but be careful you might break your neck or break your arm but if that's what you want to do go for it.

Laughter is the best medicine…❤

[@michaelwendell7771]

Blare is a technical genus.....😮

[@lisamanrique1770]

Everybody gets a little bit of sand buffed skin but it looks cool running into the wave! Timing is everything - but skill is most important! 😅 At least you only get clobbered for a few seconds and not churned forever like the big surf spots.

[@wawan137]

Nice energy Play soft board extraordinary

[@ehlava]

2:11 the hidden nugget, amazing. backside no less. too bad that backdoor wasn't closer at the end there

[@emisurfchannel2280]

Eccomi!! Pazze onde li sotto per lo skimboard 😮!!

[@SYNTRA_MUSIC]

Bit of a random one here, but it is it possible to sample the voice of the guy who's filming this for one of our upcoming tracks?

[@xxxthetruthxxx4765]

respect for the dude at 6:19... being a bit on the heavier site makes it really hard for me to get to waves. any suggestions? would you recommend a slightly bigger board for someone build like that?

[@richard--s]

The camera man never gets wet - except when you get wet ;-) The advantage is, you can't get wetter than wet. But the conditions were also hard for the surfers... Waves that are stable for no longer than a second ;-) All right, it's fun. No time for long rides, just try to stay away from the rough sea floor under the waves and have fun ;-)

[@alangomes3346]

Oh my goshhh (x193) 😅😅😅

[@LukethefriendlyAUSSIE]

How much sand do u guys get in your wetsuits

[@BrodyMulik]

Sick vid❤

[@raphe_yaanime6318]

imagine if this guy had a 4k camera

[@youngorangee]

I just dropped my music video I shot in the same exact location of the river wave video. Didn't even mean to go there. Was a crazy realization when I put 2 and 2 together

[@supergolden.]

California te amo ❤

[@reneedevoure7527]

Where is cali was this?

[@sc4rles]

Where was this

[@felipegimenezuriburu]

I really want one to start catching waves and my old wooden skimboard just doesn’t do the trick

[@rayvelasco2059]

Most Excellent ¿

[@andreamichellelopez5600]

HOLLA🙌🌊🏄‍♂️💫

[@Kahuna54]

Looks like Sunset Beach, CA

[@Kahuna54]

Oops, Seal Beach!

[@SEIZURE6969]

no way I call em zippers too

[@jkm3297]

sandy shoes in the car?? Maybe he could have smacked them together a few times before putting them in the car?

[@RuteNilceAmbrosio-st8hc]

Brasilll

[@kaspar_1982]

dude, even if you dry those shoes they're ruined by seawater. end of shoes.

[@herbertthewaterrat]

No way! Dry them in the sun and wear them until they get holes in the bottom. Vans look best beat up.

Blair do your have any spare used skimboards by any chance that you could possibly give me please?!

[@richardharris5200]

You guys must be scared of sharks? With all that long flowing hair I imagine your all scared of even your own shadows?

[@mrsteveinsandiego]

Not much of a 'ride' in the shorebreak. Try trestles/old man's in north San Diego County.

Why would you even take a surf board out there. You are asking for injury and a broken board.
