Professional Skimboarding is Getting Crazy!

The largest South Swell of the year provided the best waves that professional skimboarders have seen all summer long. Austin Keen, Blair Conklin, Brandon Sears and friends all gather on the slopes of Aliso Beach for a show you will not want to miss! Big thank you to our friend Billy or @billboards_ on instagram for making a 1/10th model of my favorite skimboard to date. Thank you Billy!

[@mikesobo9818]

These are some incredible athletes to get pounded over and over in that shore break, and they just keep going back for more!

[@TheNuxius]

Waves were firing! Tail snap wraps are always fun to watch!

[@PaulKragenbrinkTHEGREAT]

Awesome to see chia still tearing it up out there. His bit in bearded was sick

[@mhsandifer]

Good times. I miss being young and able to do things like this. Enjoy yourselves while you can

[@yuritv7560]

Always watching here from Japan keep safe i love skimboarding

[@Landoni25]

Most people don't know how painful and gnarly a big fast shore break like this can be. Can break your neck.

[@the_Dogpacker]

Skimboarding looks so fun, I'd love to learn it.

[@mattkahaloa7723]

Sick video. Lots of action. Good camera man 🤙 Aloha.

[@Trohelio]

I bet North Carolina didn’t have swells like that. 🤙

[@tripdrippy]

this is so brutal. much respect

[@AlpineRR26]

last year I bought a crappy wooden skimboard from the boardwalk in Wildwood nj. I started watching your videos close to the start of summer and I was planning on upgrading. I don’t have a high budget but I got a 48” zap core board, back pads and a set of front pads. Total was around $200. I also bought some wax for my old wooden board and the uncovered parts of my good board. I share the board with my siblings/cousins as we go to nj every year. Thanks for all the tutorials and content, it helped a lot!🫡

[@000piper000]

Pretty gnarly alright, you guys got it figured out, respect!

[@WorkingViews]

i miss that beach a lot. it's nice to see it again

[@Live2Surf]

That’s pretty cool. New to channel but watched a lot. That is committed!

[@genomitchalinni8106]

A Grand reveile of Salt Creek? The water around 10th St. Gives incredibley awesome snorkling. The more you know, check out the rocks, under the water.

[@Snowy_Seagull]

10:57 was legitimately insane for that to be frontside

[@dinkyokushin8800]

I love it 🤙

[@zay_6742]

I love the vid keep up the good work

[@unofficialobserver]

looks so fun

[@davidhunternyc1]

That's awesome. Until this video I had no idea that professional skimboarding was a thing. I thought it was only something kids did. I'm impressed.

[@manfrommontreal]

That is literally surfing. Totally rad.

[@deanagewasteland6658]

This one might look good!!!

[@reggiebald2830]

Pure SHOREBREAK!

[@discmotoslots]

skimmin' is the best! you wanna keep running at the waves but you get so tired!

[@jackpainter187]

just ordered a new board from exile, had a fiberglass and just got the goat construction and i’m rly excited to get it

[@SimD4]

Niceee I hope you like it

[@calvdawg]

I know im a few days late but I would love for you to check out Southside Seal Beach. It's a 30 to 40 minute drive from Laguna, so not too bad!

[@funfreq9282]

I like how if there is a way to have fun in shore break these guys are doing it! Ha When the wave gets here be their and get drilled!

[@seanc6754]

Man those waves are huge for breaking right on the beach

[@KA-cm5mb]

Awesome

[@fitforfreelance]

Those shore breaks are huge!

[@BEEFSTV]

1/10th scale! Whooaaa

[@RevengeAgainstSmoke]

That 7:14 wave was so sick

[@emisurfchannel2280]

[@bum36901]

Props to that camera man running all the time

[@DarrenWellhoefer]

props to the camera man at 2:21 thats just awesome.

[@user-sm5qh9ec6k]

Вау!Как прекрасно!! Какие классные ребята!!!❤ Молодцы, Вы прекрасны!!!

[@christopherwicks2744]

skimboarding has definetly changed alot since i was young

[@genomitchalinni8106]

1,000 Steps Beach, is, debatable. I counted between 224-227 steps. As young, "Grommies" kids, we would race up those stairs to make sure that we caught the last bus. In 1982, we figured out how to camp there over the weekend. My record is 7 days. Not leaving 1,000 Steps.

[@3-dwalkthroughs]

Magical beach; from one end at 9th street, to the other end that had the Ricky Nelson house on the top of the cliff... been rebuild since thoses days in the 70s-80s

[@duckygamezzz69]

lmao im early, but i wish my beach had waves smh

[@genomitchalinni8106]

Winter, go to spots. Salt Creek and San Clamente.

[@BeachLookingGuy]

yall making it look wayy too easy!

[@erwin4501]

used to do this on Bournemouth beach with my friend using an old tray circa 1967 aged 6, great memories .........ps. not exactly the same by any means !!!😆

[@courtneybowman5631]

Yes sir

[@donquixoteupinhere]

Skim’s up, dude!

[@jayflo588]

Gotta give it up to the camera man . He's all in

[@roberthallstrand4167]

I love all craisy dudes, got have some fun right

[@mitseraffej5812]

Wish these had been around 50 years ago when I was a teenager. I had surfed for a couple of years before anyone thought to tie the board to your leg so we got good at body surfing.

[@allis8379]

I love this shit!, lol I’ve never tried being from mid Canada but why no frontside carves? It’s obviously harder but is there another reason?

[@genomitchalinni8106]

So, according to historic records, Dana Point Harbor was known as "Killer Dana". The first, man-made rock Jetty was construced there before the Newport Harbor, rock Jetty, that we all know as, The Wedge.

[@genomitchalinni8106]

So, at "1,000 Step Beach" it has always broke down to what street are you talking about. Ecpesially for the Army Corp of Engineers to save the 3houses, on the beach, of 9th st. So. Laguna. The southern beach is 10th St. 11st next. I know that coast all the way to Salt Creek. I miss it so much.

[@ohhroach]

7:40 so sketch and yet so awesome

[@jdt8983]

I'm from Riverside and people always talk shit on it like it sucks there but I lived an hour from these beaches (and an hour from Big Bear) so it at least had that going for it. Miss those waves

[@theSilentCutter]

hell yeah!!! i am afraid of sharks .. so this would be perfect for me!

[@rogersocalbeaches5734]

This is insane....

[@MRR-qv3bw]

If you could bottle those sets up and sell them everyone would be addicted😜😂😂😂

[@BertoBoyd]

And how is it that grom looks older than Blair?! 😂

[@dcfromthev]

Crazy amount of wipe outs thats for sure

[@nestorcortez3060]

Well the waves here in the OBX didn’t look like that… but they were thee best conditions we have had for a comp in like 5 years

[@rayvelasco2059]

Most Excellent ¿

[@markhurlock3891]

The soundtrack is really good! Who are the musicians?

[@walldoo99]

Go try the New Port Wedge.

[@chrisvolk2587]

🤙🏻

[@genomitchalinni8106]

As weather heats up, don't put your head by a fan, if your hair is getting long. Buuuaaahhhh! Salute.

[@boardboys6558]

Wish there was good skim waves in qld

[@healthyliving14]

Where is this?

[@user-li2fy4hu7p]

When does the "crazy" part start?

[@ian9872]

Where is this

[@meiliswein]

Great video, had to click it and I watched till the end, but I recommend using more variation in the music (:

[@NineteenEighty8]

at this point, its not even skimboarding anymore, its just finding the perfect waves that are more closer to shore to surf...

[@genomitchalinni8106]

So, if, you decide to follow Dana jr's route, you better have a backup plan. That great book, taught me about the Pacific Ocean before the movie, "Jaws".

[@kingtravis2562]

Jus wondering can you bodyboard or bodysurf over there

[@feedigli]

My favorite bodysurfing spot was a wicked little cove at the south end of the next beach south of Aliso, past the gay beach; used to get a nice wedge effect off the cliff there. No idea if it's still good or if it's changed from storms & all since the 80's. I never boogied at Aliso, but it's too undefined to bodysurf IMHO.

[@bryancorts5389]

Does it hurt getting trucked at the end on the sand?!?!

[@boyanz937]

"Balls to the wall" - there is no other way.

[@ultra_toxic3131]

🤝

[@Nilz4FR]

6:54 Epic

[@annydaysullysay]

looks like a good way to get a.spinal tap

[@tuckerjones5899]

This is nuts i go home in pain on vacations just doing along the the beach they are going into the belly of the beast

[@simonassouline1230]

A cheaper version of surfing! With all the fun and thrills!

[@johnedwinoliver6842]

Is this near Laguna Beach ?

[@feedigli]

Southerly end of LB
