Brazilian WEDGE is Paradise For Skimboarding

Gary Abdulla and Blair Conklin go on a last minute trip to Brazil to meet up with their friend Lucas Fink. Lucas Fink is a 2X United Skim Tour World Champion from Rio De Janeiro. We are excited to show you what we captured on just the first day of waves! We have many more sessions to go and the next few videos you are not going to want to miss. We would greatly appreciate your support on this video as it took Blair and Gary hours of sitting on the computer to finish the edit. We hope to spread the stoke about skimboarding here in Brazil. Skimboarding is growing here faster than anywhere else on the planet and the talent that this place is creating will change the future of the sport. Thank you for watching! More edits coming soon!

[@Globalskimmachine]

Was searching like a detective to find this comment.

[@surflix4306]

Blair's wave and ocean knowledge is just on a different level. JJF of skim.

[@oceangrown_7579]

Absolutely epic. Shredding

[@brentron2212]

This is some of the best skimboarding talent and craziest break I've ever seen

[@RaulEdu33]

14:43 🤯 mesmerizing long rides. Brazilians are definitely gifted surfers and footballers. 🏆🥇

[@TheJas70]

Sickest vid yet please do a world tour of the most crazy skim spots and discover some new ones on the way

[@waitej100]

Amazing! I'm not sure if it's the rides that are making me smile most or the sharing happy vibe. Can't help thinking the world would be a better place if we could all be a bit more Blair!!

[@zking407]

Thanks Blair for taking us along🤙

[@virtualalias]

Gorgeous! I never imagined there'd be places like this coming up skimming on the Gulf Coast.

[@syahf]

Blair always makes wave riding look so good. Lucas fink is a beast as always. One of the best skimboarding video no doubt.

[@alfredotherescuetuxedocat83]

Epic place! Those waves were sick! Much respect to you! This video is so well done. It brings back memories of The Endless Summer. One of my favorite movies!

[@SkidKids]

Thats so cool! Glad to hear you liked it so much as it was an edit that Gary and I made!

[@04Fingers]

Best skimboard vid I have ever seen

[@keno1069]

There are so many great moments in this video, I can't decide which is my favorite. This is amazing!

[@jarettschoeffield7536]

Best content, Blair looks right at home with some sick locals. Longtime fan and this good shit. RESPECT to all.

[@kaiowens1616]

Heavy conditions! Cool to see the pros struggle a little, shows how difficult the wave really is!

[@zking407]

Sickest skim video I’ve seen🤙

[@neiltolson2531]

That wave looks amazing

[@joaquinmastrangelo3244]

One of the best videos in the channel, keep it goin!!🤙

[@nathanmyers1253]

You guys just keep getting better. Great to see it.

[@emisurfchannel2280]

STOKE IS ON!

[@goofsaddggkle7351]

Holy hell the music!! Also…watching that Brazilian legend skimboard - just straight up same chills as i got first time watching Endless Summer.

[@DavidSmith-rc1sd]

You guys sure have taken this to the next level and are killing it!

[@tojo8495]

Wtf. Wara movie! Congratulations!

[@buzzliteyear11]

This was just unreal, more please. Added this to my must go to list.

[@rachelflair4835]

Wow.. world class rides!!

[@nonnie8388]

One of the best videos yet! Great camera work! Amazing rides. Worth the travel, nice wide skim flats, beautiful crystal clear water and sick waves 🌊 ✌🏼🤙🏼

[@TheQuadruped]

My favorite part of your channel is riders on the beach getting a camera in the face and peppered with questions, and their eyes never leave total focus on what is happening in the water.

[@OspreyVision]

That was awesome! Incredible wave. Don't think I've ever seen such a long skim board wave with that many sections. Watching the average Joe's attempt to ride puts the difficulty factor into perspective.

[@robertstinnette1926]

Thank you for sharing this epic footage. Wish,I was there.

[@Lucienio10]

Welcome to Brazil!!!

[@YTxauthentic]

awesome vid

[@jordano4794]

Na minha época o skinboard era apenas um brinquedo e estava muito longe de ser um esporte. Infelizmente com o meu estilo de surf em aéreos poderia ter me dado muito bem neste esporte, fico feliz de ver que algo que era uma brincadeira se tornou tão profissional, parabéns, épico!

[@sinsemillao]

Sick! All dudes shredding out there!

[@silviokochinski-mp4wk]

Meu deus video mais animal que ja vi na vida ..nao paro de ver

[@vwbustube]

Pretty amazing how you're able wreck the lip on the wave, only to glide down the back seamlessly into the next section, again and again!

[@treyphillips7812]

Sickest Edit PeriodT!!!!

[@JSMZeez]

Music from 11:18 to 14:40 was amazing. Really nice to hear something I’ve never heard before and loved it first time.

[@goofyfoot2001]

Been there many times. I grew up near Sao Paulo. Deserted beach back then.

[@dylanmikaili2495]

This is such a great video! All of you make it look so easy it’s insane lol

[@randymarsh7019]

[@petermcmahon15]

Amazing wish I could do that it looks insane ❤

[@dionbeavins722]

[@thiagoazevedo2265]

Great job, guys! It's really nice see you facing Sununga. The wave's size were perfect. Bigger could be dangerous. The ways that you found, extending the waves... Looked like Sununga's old friends!

[@smilinkylen5621]

[@marragolo]

Excelente Point para o Skinboarding. Ubatuba entra tranquilamente para um circuito mundial .

[@OspreyVision]

Checkout that big backwash wave JOB surfed with Italio when he was there. The one with the 30-40 foot backwash wave in his intro. Would be fun to watch!

[@eugorov13]

Your wave at 13:21 was sick! Glad to see the whole video from your clip on IG

[@danniejones2032]

The first skim board I had was a circle plywood board made in our garage in like 1980 -81.

[@nepabelito]

Nice video guys, love raw beefs and this channel, glad to see you are enjoying my hometown Ubatuba

[@SkidKids]

Ubatuba is such a beautiful place.

[@robertibert9269]

Great post Blair.

[@cokomairena]

I remember those circular Skimboard from the 90s,I thought I was tripping when I searched for Skimboard and saw like mini surf boards

[@igorek160]

O gringo cabeludo tem o melhor estilo, não flexiona tanto os joelhos nem balança os braços igual os outros para acelerar. Muito agachado o estilo fica meio defecante...
