1000% this ^^^^^

[@jarettschoeffield7536]

I do want to say though it was some serious talent, wish they had waves....

[@Tribblepuppy]

It's too bad the waves weren't bigger, but we sure got a show on how to skim the small waves and make the best of it.

[@marcpeters4309]

Definitely, some good motivation for when the conditions aren't great

[@mufns]

blair and johny have bean my two favorite skimboarders for a long time so it was very fun to watch them compete

[@Azur997]

A video about the way scores are made could be cool ! Btw awesome competition and skimers

[@victoriaskimboardshongkong6758]

Love the video , thank you for making such a great video 😍 Blair and Johnny is killing it , always the best skimboarder in town

[@keno1069]

12:30 This is the stuff dreams are made of! Nice job to everyone at the contest!

[@gurrfunga_snipes]

Congrats at the #2 I love your vids!

[@charlesmartin1121]

Summary: epic competitors in sub-epic conditions. Well done everyone.

[@vincerabbit]

such sick vids as always

[@jethrozpectiva]

I was watching the contest on live video from my bed in Rosarito, but inmediately felt inspired and motivated to get up and move straight ahead to the beach for a skim sesh.

[@kylew1761]

I love when the videos start with Blair driving to the beach, crackin jokes.

[@danielsoden1705]

Awesome insight into a pro skimboard contest.

[@JohnMorawietz]

great follow up, thanks.

[@skimtv2365]

Awesome to see all of the competitors doing awesome stuff in not ideal waves

[@villanuevafamily4]

Another awesome video

[@emisurfchannel2280]

Epic.. waching FROM SARDINIA 🤙🤙

[@Rho_West]

Im Late sorry Blair but awesome video !

[@BLACK05GO1]

Yeah, those waves were so small. I don't know the rules on calling off a skim contest for lack of waves, but that had to be close to those conditions.

[@neiohcarbonilla8511]

A living Legends, battle it out.. Wow

[@MrChoppypops]

Great video. How much was the prize money?!

[@vensgermski]

Congratz blair and company. Keep it up!

[@somedudesdad3905]

Fun conclusion, congrats on top 2.

[@careyconklin8816]

Grace and dignity Blair. Congrats Mr. Webber__ you have battled/a long time coming… well earned, well deserved. Both riders champion spirit. ✨

[@SKIM_831]

Yeah Blair can’t wait to get down south again! Are you coming to October fest?

[@SkidKids]

I’ll be there! See you soon hopefully

[@floridaspringhoppers.7354]

It blows my mind Bill Bryan is still skimboarding at that high of a level with how old he is.

[@loc9588]

need to get some peeps riding slotstik in there next year ;)

[@floridaspringhoppers.7354]

@@loc9588 hell yeah! My brother, my friend, and I are thinking about starting the company back up! My dad was a genius for coming up with the stringer being pulled around the rail to hold the layup together!

[@hunterdavis3003]

I used to sell bill skateboards when he managed fairfax surf shop

[@floridaspringhoppers.7354]

@@hunterdavis3003 nice. Yeah the Bryan brothers I’ve known for quite some time too. My dad use to sponsor Bill’s brother George back in the 90s early 2000s!

[@pinstripedynasty6117]

Both were gnarly but based off the footage I saw I would have gave it to Blair. I know he does not but did Weber ride for Vic then? If so makes sense a close Vic contest the Vic team rider gets the nod. Yes the wave was good but I would go more with consistency and tech than one great ride but like I said I have only seen the video posted on Blair's channel so I can't say for sure

[@ArtswithTubaMunir]

So Beautiful sharing ❤️

[@ZanielCole]

Loving the videos

[@sbotchev]

i love your videos

[@ZanielCole]

Yo do you have any tips on skimboarding? I was wondering bc I got first place I’m my competition yesterday but I was wondering if you had any tips on how to get good points

[@simultaneity8014]

I live on the east coast and kite surfing is big on Hatteras Island where I surf.Have you heard of anyone trying kite skim boarding?Maybe on small wave days.

[@skimtv2365]

Everyone’s going to need a new skimboard after this comp

[@thunderkinginkwark271]

Why?

[@griffincarlson]

@@thunderkinginkwark271 it was rocky

[@robertbassinder]

Beeks a heavy hitter. My first dip in Hawaiian water to bodysurf Waimea Bill was drilling his hole.

[@skimbrosza]

Dude, props to Blairs Skimboard for taking a beating on those rocks while skimming.

[@treydamonlee]

does anyone know what Johnny Weber was wearing on his feet?

[@m.henriqueDeusestejacomigo]

Show demais vem pro Rio de janeiro

[@jayagagas3120]

Congrats weber❤️

[@threepuffpass2155]

Nice job everyone.

[@gedpictures2487]

yeees been waiting for thia one :)

[@andeegee]

The future of skimboarding is now.

[@jsimo1431]

you're still the coolest dude out there Blaire. that's what really matters. i thought you won btw.

[@mollybishop6949]

What skimboards do you use

[@huonbyrne-ockerby852]

What was the final score?

[@thatswrightoutdoors]

Yeah Delaware good shit bro

[@T3te2biscuit]

Bro, last time I saw you sub number , it was 150 k , gg for 267 k broooo

[@SkidKids]

Growing quick! Some of the Shorts that I have been posting have really helped with gaining new subs

[@covebyers7884]

Is Exile going to be at Surf Expo?

[@andreabrantes]

epic.

[@prophet447]

Such a bummer the waves were so bad.

[@surferkidcc]

watched this live on the exile instagram... I thought blair won but the camera guy missed that huge wave wber got you could hear the crowd go nuts... now I know why he won jeez that was epic

[@jayagagas3120]

Nice game❤️❤️🔥

[@tazfish3639]

Lol growing up in Cabo San Lucas back in the day and there was only one cement road downtown (1998) land ends skimboards homie those where the days hanging out with a Gang of Mexican homies little white boy just running a Muk in downtown Cabo fun as hell!!

[@rodrigoleitao4254]

Where’s Austin keen?

[@floridaspringhoppers.7354]

I definitely feel Blair won that event. Johnny skimmed good but nowhere close to the level Blair skimmed at.

[@loc9588]

maybe. i think they were on par tbf

[@floridaspringhoppers.7354]

@@loc9588 idk Blair got way more waves going frontside and backside which is huge when it comes to judging skimboarding. Johnny had that epic air drop. Other than Johnny’s air drop I definitely would have gave Blair the W. Johnny rides for Victoria so you have to take into consideration there was a bias when their heats were being judged . I remember back in the year 2009 I skimboarded in my first amateur division contest at the age of 17 and won best trick and got second place in my division for landing a huge air drop off a wave like Johnny did! I was so stoked that day considering I was competing against guy’s that were a lot better than me and had way more experience!

[@AlexSheckells]

I was there, as a semiprofessional skim boarder, john destroyed that heat. A couple of his waves weren’t in the video. Both did insane for what the waves were though.

[@floridaspringhoppers.7354]

@@AlexSheckells yeah for sure man. Yeah I kind of figured. That makes sense on why he got first place. How do you do in your heat man?

[@AlexSheckells]

@@floridaspringhoppers.7354 got 2nd! Unfortunately I’m much better at waves and this contest had probably 3 that broke the entire weekend haha!

[@owenalp1977]

Beaker is the goooaaaatttt

[@danpopper3488]

Great job Blair. U to webman

[@rayvelasco2059]

Most Excellent ¿⛱

[@Graffitiizz]

JOHNNY REPPING THE 302 IN DE LETS GOOOOOOO

[@ZanielCole]

I actually won my first tournament at vero beach yesterday and got first place

[@floridaspringhoppers.7354]

Hell yeahhh man. Congratulations!

[@NarlyNardo]

Cap

[@chriscochrane2769]

I dig watching good skimming! There should be a contest where guys have to skim and also surf a "normal" board - include online gambling and make a pay per view production! I will bet on Blair - ps I saw him skimming at Rincon once! Who does that?!

[@ruandarkfire7779]

🇧🇷

[@charleyhassenrik5602]

I’m at the beach right now but I forgot my skimboard!

[@ethangumpel4203]

Won 🥇 1st in semi pro skimming the mulligans skim jam yerd.

[@simultaneity8014]

Blair lost but he still won the nice guy award.

[@AK-ck3ps]

Nais

[@rodrigoleitao4254]

If the waves got 2 or 3 meters Gerardo will got it so well

[@nicklauspalmi8768]

He’s nervous hahahahahhaha

[@abujamie3763]

I say you won

[@hwn8088]

Y wouldn't they wait 4 better waves, come on now the World's Best in shitty waves, nice fog kind of day 4 a bong hit. A gray day in Californ I a .

[@ExpertEntertainment]

wish you would have won Blair.

[@prkr8558]

[@seabertotter4325]

Too bad that the waves weren't interested.

Zsssss

[@teflonsean7677]

Not being there to see it in person and only judging by the edit, it appears there was a robbery at Aliso. Extortion also comes to mind, many saying "Webbers gorilla-like chassis and primate instincts" make this theory completely plausible and a big reason its gaining traction even outside of the monkey-drop community.😉😂🤙
