Finally! Yeah Blair, I’m going to do that stuff on a Bodyboard! Off a bounce wave!

[@SkidKids]

Is this the famous bounce wave ted?

[@emceebrownbear]

At your service sir.

[@SkidKids]

You are the man! I think we are going to have to make a bounce wave series soon.

[@emceebrownbear]

A bounce wave is like a ride at Disneyland!

[@ericj8477]

WRONG! It's better!!

[@jonoedwards4195]

Unreal, would love an Episode on Boards, how they make em and sizes and such too! Great Stuff Shredders.

[@kbmats]

That "bup" when landing tricks xD nice videos guys 👍🏻

[@adenguacamole8323]

Loved the video can’t wait till I get enough money to buy a skimboard that you have

[@lionfish4743]

Aden Waluigi same! Which board would you get?

[@Bart3481]

Which board would you get?

[@lionfish4743]

Bartezo exile ex2

[@baxterhennessey8801]

Lion fish ya I kinda got a slapfish✌️

[@adenguacamole8323]

I said that a year ago

[@oceancryptids5155]

Also love the little inserted clip at 1:31!

[@mellowfellow9214]

Love this channel! I’ve been skateboarding for the past 17 years and have been wanting to take it to the water. Can’t wait to get a skimboard and try!

[@nickgalletta2514]

Yes Blair I love the recent tutorials! Really helping me become better and better everyday! I am looking for a skimboard with a reasonable price and i was wondering which would be the best

[@SkidKids]

Nick Galletta this board is the best bang for your buck. You might want to hold off on buying this model because Exile is about to offer a better board for same price in late July exileskimboards.com/blogs/news/introducing-the-ex0-an-epoxy-entry-level-skimboard

[@Lodosswar100]

@@SkidKids Are there any downsides to have an "overbouyant board" for lack of a better term? Im right at 170lbs and my wife is ~120, would there be an issue if I bought the 190lbs board for her?

[@razbenyamin7057]

You gotta show us how to pump effectively also frontside turn, I always screw that one up.

[@mellowfellow9214]

Love this channel! I’ve been skateboarding for 17 years and have been wanting to take it to the water. Can’t wait to get a skimboard and try!

[@pinto4164]

This is so educational i dont have a skim board but now i want 1 for my summer vacation

[@Naviral]

@COACH Blair - Hey man, I I just found your videos a few days ago. I'm on the last leg (puns) of healing from heel surgery and started getting back into drop knee riding after 20+ years. Once I've got full function again (without pain), I'm likely gonna give skimboarding a go. Thanks to your videos I'm pumped! I've only been in SoCal for a year, but haven't really had a chance to enjoy the beach until now. Now I've been going every weekend for the last 3 weeks. I pretty much grew up on the beaches of Florida and forgot what I was missing. Keep up the great videos!

[@candlerirby3453]

I’ve learned so much on you videos

[@Maybelater1018]

I got a board recently and have been practicing a bit. I been skateboarding for 14 years and the skill transfers pretty well. These tutorials are great 👍

[@ericsmith9085]

Love your teaching style!

[@oceancryptids5155]

Blaire's such a G. I'm a brand new skimboarder and the skimming part actually came very naturally to me with a pretty natural one-step-drop and monkey crawl, but the tricks had always been a struggle 'til this video. Thanks again Blaire! Amazing... truly amazing.

[@SkidKids]

Glad i can help my friend! Keep at it

[@kandycevlogs6009]

**loves this** i can't wait till summer🏄🏽‍♀️💛❗️

[@xam1426]

Yeah Blair your def pushing the levels of skim way into outer space coming from Delaware we love watching you guys come every summer and everything Jason does with alleyoop! Stay stoked!!!

[@SkidKids]

I should be able to make it out there this coming Summer as well! hope to cross paths

[@connordewhirst2332]

bro ur explanation is so good, thanks fam

[@erickschaefer5886]

Shredding it every time. Thx for the vid.

[@tommiluck3729]

Cheers Blair for making me want to get out in the surf again after an epic wipeout that almost took me out for good. Skimboarding is that ultimate combination of skating and surfing where you don't have to paddle out the back every time to catch a wave...which to be honest is pretty appealing to me so I'm going to give it a shot. I'll let you know how I progress and maybe will upload the odd vid for you to check out as I'm unofficially making you my mentor haha. Thanks for your inspiration mate

[@patrickbrenner1563]

I'm Brazilian, I really like your videos.

[@claudiogargano8646]

Yeah! That’s what I like to learn better, I will try more and more hoping to get all of them. And then next step is see you on “how to side wash, wrap” or getting waves like that... I hope you’re gonna shot other skim-tutorial. Great job Blair!

[@lucassf3004]

Thank u Blair now I know how to do a shuvit thank u I’m so happy🌊🌊🌊

[@ihymanu]

[@CapnCody1622]

Hey, Love your vids! Could you make a video to help us choose a board? Like the differences between thicknesses, rails, tails, etc. That’d be awesome! Keep up the great work.

[@Skoppa-bt5st]

[@tylermartini6906]

[@benedictmoral3053]

Good day Sir Blair! First time for skimss..kinda need some help coz we do not have shop here that sells exile but some locals have their own DIYs skimboard., can you help? which one is better: Carbon fiber skim board foamy board or foamy fiberglass. Thank You Sir.

[@franciscorios57]

Is there a certain board you have to get to be able to go out and ride a wave?

[@ColeSwesey]

I have a skim board but it does not have the grip pads on it, would it still work the same or would it be harder?

[@AH-xi3pu]

Blair is everywhere 👀

[@laurenmoser5860]

Can I do these tricks also on a foamboard?

[@ccsurfandfish5564]

Drop some videos of you regularly skimboarding

[@daniel-lk2ib]

I’m about to get a new board any recommendations

[@Shredded_up]

Hey Blair what type of skimboard are you using

[@mcflyboarder9537]

Blair, thanks for this. I have a question 🧐 what should I be looking for in a first skimboard.

[@SkidKids]

McFly Boarder I would recommend buying an entry level board that has a height equivalent to the height of your sternum.

[@godleefamily]

YO I watched a ton of clips but i notice your foot placement in the videos I swear it changed the game. your back foot slides back damn near every time.

[@DaveyGa]

Nice vid. Been sk8ing for over 30 years, however I can't do a basic shove on a skim.. got no pop. Does it rely on pushing the inner rail down so the board comes up?

[@SkidKids]

WE just did a tutorial on that! hopefully you find it helpful

[@Micki21]

Can i do the ollie with a wood skimboard??

[@dragonjay9500]

So would you say the only pop is excatly like skateboarding or not really

[@calvinkwaak6866]

can you do a how to carve/pump tutorials?

[@tomllewelyn3680]

What are good skim boards to learn on?

[@adrdurann]

Good Video! Your like!

[@jamesmottram742]

Hi Blair I'm just getting into skimboarding and was looking to get a board. I already looked at a brand and I was wondering if it was a good brand to shop from. Its called Wave Zone Skimboards

[@tylerhall2355]

What board are you using in the video I’m guessing it’s your sig pro but I don’t know if it wasn’t made yet because the vid is 2 years old

[@lucyella4103]

I’ve got a circle skimboard and I want to know if I can still do tricks on it

[@CatchSurfOfficial]

Hot tricks!!!!

[@Slycoop]

Does the fish tail on your custom board help with the Ollie lol

[@parkersmith9511]

🔥🔥🔥

[@masonpierce5597]

What is ur board brand and what type is it?

[@mystical2389]

How do you keep your feet on the board when your in the air

[@liamspiegel771]

what king of exile board do you have?

[@ericbergstrom1]

is the front stomp pad crucial? or is wax sufficient for these tricks

[@SkidKids]
