Skimboarding a Crystal Clear Wedge

A majority of people who try Skimboarding for the first time romanticize gliding on the sand and out to waves within hours of getting their new board. It is a bit more difficult than it appears. Brad Domke, Bill Bryan, and Blair Conklin have been practicing for years and are able to make it look easy.

Yes a new video. Skid on

[@Bruh-nw8zh]

Ahhhh... that’s the best feeling, when the sun comes out and shines through the morning grayness

[@robertjennings62]

Amazing how many different places that sider breaks from!! Back in the day my favorite spot was just north... but this one was the most consistent. November 19, 1989 had overhead siders and broke 4 hours a day all week. We would walk up the stairs getting the worst cramps and we were stoked!!

[@SkidKids]

Sounds like a dream!

[@voornaam3191]

Eat more potassium. Bananas have it. And drink enough water. A gallon a day, not at once, or you'll die. They say that helps a lot. Butt off coarse you know dat.

[@tonepoet]

Is it possible to feel as much stoke watching this than these guys felt when they were killing it? Yes Killing session, soundtrack is right on. 🤙

So siiick blair 🏄‍♂️🔥🤘🏻

[@tatougiraglia935]

This spot seems to be so fun, whatewer the size. Here, in Corsica Island (France) i'm trying to find conditions to get better in skimboarding. I'm a surfer primarly. But, i want so much, riding a skimboard, and going far away on the water like you. That's magical! And, it opens doors to a lot of fun in small shorebreak waves.

[@chipotle9223]

This is Aliso creek beach in laguna, CA

[@himothy.936]

YES Blair is back on the skim

[@madsimoninsky]

nice to see you back on the skim

[@Deeboskim]

Dang those are some glorious conditions! Filming and drone footy was super clean too. One of these days I'm going to have to make a trip down there to try to get me some of that...

[@SasquachPL]

Luv it! The wave looks so interesting, one of a kind. The drone pictures are great, such a difference from gopros, although it would be perfect if this video had some of those close-ups mixed in.

[@samuelajones]

Sooo sick. Wish I had a crew like that to hit the skim with. Alls I got is a bunch of “soul” surfers riding fiberglass lookin at me funny cuz I’m learning to skim at 40 on a soft skim foam board😛

As a surfer I would hate (love) to be at that break. Just as I am lining up a tasty left, here comes a skid kid sliding in from the right. And they are even snaking their own groms (6:28).

[@adamm8206]

Bruh that little shorebreak is custom made for skimming! If you want to surf there are literally THOUSANDS of much better spots in Cali and Baja alone ;-)

[@charlesmartin1121]

"Speedo man." Is Jaime back in California?

This is soo cool , i wanna be like him kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6SceYt7pdyEkMk

Haha that reminds me of the time me and my water polo team from Hawaii went to Cali for a tournament and we all went in the beach in speedos the waves were huge too beat times

[@nathanpowers3730]

Do skim boarder's always get priority on the wedge? It almost seems like they're stealing the waves.

[@iisunny_parrot2797]

I live by a wedge and mainly there’s surfers and a few skimboarders

[@AgainstCronyCapitalsm]

I remember surfing in the fog. Could not see horizon or land. Just waves moving through. Glassy.

[@johndough7485]

One place I surf is difficult when it's cloudy and glassy cuz you can't differentiate the ocean from the sky and you don't see a set till it's too late.

[@whoasked7152]

2:42 blaire totally gave that man a spray lmao

Where do you get your skimboards. I have one but it’s more for tricks than waves.

I have been a Bowl skater for years cause I never get to go to the beach or at least a good one. I always have a skimboard but never understood HOW it should be ridden. Watching you fellas makes me think even Corpus Christi Bay could be fun

I’ve been seeing a lot of leopard sharks this year along the cost from PV to Laguna durning my dives. It seems as if a lot of them spawned in the past year compared to the previous years. Or maybe I’m just getting lucky and seeing them more often.

How do you determine who gets the wave? I know how it works in surfing but no idea for skim vs bodyboarding
