Skimboarding For The FIRST Time with Lessons from a PRO

Professional skimboarders Blair Conklin and Brad Domke share some pointers with an interested beachgoer who has never stepped foot on a skimboard before. Also in this episode, Blair rides a custom wooden skimboard that was built for him by Jon Wegener. Filmed and edited by ‪@GarrettAbdulla‬

The 96 had a good run, may it rest in peace on the wall. It was a pleasure trading with you.

[@SkidKids]

Yeah Harrison! Thanks for letting me try that thing and being so cool about breaking your board.

[@Mikeguapojr]

This is why Laguna Beach is different than anywhere else. The locals embrace the tourist, almost every other beaches completely opposite.😂

[@cadnnn]

I just tried skimboarding yesterday in maui and it’s so much fun!

[@SkidKids]

[@AdrienRaza]

Hahahaha not the 96 😂😭

[@SkidKids]

bad day to be a 96

[@VicGreenBitcoin]

Serious question can a fit man of about 90 kilos also skim-board, or are you just too heavy.

[@quaoar213]

Ive always wanted to surf, it must be spiritual... but anyways, watching Jaws as a baby had a deep psychological effect on me. (and millions of others thx John Williams) BUT this ! I can handle my thalassaphobia ! Skim boarding here I come. Where in So Cal are ideal breaks for skim boarding? Btw. I think I partied on that beach before. Lol Is that a cove away from 1000steps?
