The Biggest Skimboarding Contest of The Year!

The Exile Skimboards Oktoberfest is the most prestigious skimboarding contest of the year. It was attended by skimboarders from all around the world. This year we lucked out with some incredible waves for the event which makes it extra exciting to watch. Big thanks to everyone who made it down to the contest and helped organize the event. It was really nice seeing everyone after a year of having no skimboarding contests due to the pandemic.

This guy is an extremely good role model. Period.

[@SkidKids]

Thank you Michael. I was lucky enough to have some good role models when I was young and really know how important it is for the youth.

[@AaronJKaplan]

I’ve been thinking this for a while now. Such a good guy. I remember seeing him around at the beach for the month I lived in Laguna just after I graduated high school and he was just a little kid, but he was always super respectful aside from ripping waves with an angelic style (that has only developed in a positive direction since he’s grown) and I fell in love with him as an athlete then. My favorite skimboarder. With the likes of Paulo in terms of being a role model, and due to this he has become one of my favorite people even though we’re not familiar in person. Go Blair! Rooting for you

[@jonathanleigh2893]

You are either protecting/helping the kids or making kids!!!

[@quinnstephens3458]

Blair is trashhh

[@quinnstephens3458]

Frankie is a Dirty J

[@Papa-Kilo75]

Love how genuinely excited y’all are for the little guys… and with good reason, ‘cause they’re killin’ it!

[@SkidKids]

Absolutely turning heads!

[@robertjennings62]

I skimmed in the 80's, 90's, and early 2000's... this generation of skimmers makes me proud!! You guys would have dug the 80's and 90's!! True legends and amazing characters back in the day!! Cheers...

[@nathannguyen3214]

The fear in AK's face watching the groms warm up is priceless HAHA

[@TheSkimboardingPodcast]

9 to 11s are absolutely bonkers right now. It doesn't even make sense. Crazy to think what level they're at now, and where they could be in 5 years. I used to complain about skimming against Sammy growin up but it looks way worse now for the groms who just started skimmin at like 10. That was me back then. Just shocked at the level of the early starters.

[@danielbalbony2510]

Skim life is the best life, love the positive vibes! Those groms can shred!! Congratulations btw! Rhode Island is gonna be firing this weekend!! See you there!?!

[@SkidKids]

Thanks Daniel! I decided to stick around home this weekend. Been traveling a little more than I would have liked this summer

[@thejonathanrath]

Crazy how good Blair is (and great to the kids who all rip btw) daaaaaaaa GOAT!

[@hugokine1012]

Exiled 4 life

[@user-jq2ct1so7k]

хороший контент спасибо! жаль только английский не знаю

[@morganwalstrom9900]

A video thumbnail is a still image that acts as the preview image for your video. It's kind of like a book cover. And, like a book cover, it should entice a potential viewer to want to see more. I was waiting for the waves on the thumbnail because it had me drooling. No such waves in this video…. Sad day

[@samuelherbertolampert5847]

O cara é 2 vezes two times campeão do Mundo e mora no paraíso era era praia bah very well nice sorrymy english good movie good energy 🏄 good place good sea good waves bah Pitbull

[@atamagashock]

Blair is such a legend! Love that he’s there supporting the future. Such a chill dude and a ripper on skim and surf. From what we saw on that heat, sure looked like Blair should have won that heat, but hey, sometimes it’s just not your day

[@Diffusion8]

Legit

[@darkwingduck7212]

Any recommendations, I want to buy a skim board but I don’t know anything about them? Please help!

[@alansaks6171]

Nice event!! Better waves there than some WSL events this year

[@connor.k10]

Where’s that wave you have on the cover?🤷🏽‍♂️

[@fergspan5727]

Raw beefs

[@satoshiserge]

Blair, you need to mint some NFTs of you skimming. It's not that hard and you would benefit ten fold if not more. Join the metaverse!

[@SkidKids]

I am downloading metamask as we speak. Going to learn a bit more before I get started.

[@Lurqful]

The Vic was bigger in my opinion

[@SkidKids]

There were more contestants at the Oktoberfest. Vic was really well attended this year too.

[@lawtoncoleman2772]

I’m a skate boarder and skimmer and love that Erik kostons son is a skim boarder

[@SkidKids]

So awesome to have Eric and his son around our sport these days

[@charlesmartin1121]

So does Blair advance or what?

[@SkidKids]

Top two advance from each heat, sorry about the confusion there. I did end up advancing

[@charlesmartin1121]

@@SkidKids Thanks. And from the video it looked like you won that heat. Then again I am a surfer, so what do I know.

[@goofsaddggkle7351]

Oh thank goodness - Blair definitely deserved to advance.
