Skimboarding Unlikely Places in Europe!

[@doggieGZ]

I'm so glad Blair's youtube has blown up. He used to be a no name that occasionally showed up on Raw Beefs, now he's thriving because people have discovered how amazing his skill and talent is. So so so happy for Skid Kids blowing up. It's what's right with the world.

[@SkidKids]

Thanks for being with us through the process Brian! Stoked you are still enjoying the videos

[@RyanRad01]

It’s so nice to see a proper skimboarding community supporting such a legend

[@johnj2496]

I'm with ya on the KZbin blowin up but the no name gtfo here Blair's been blowing it up way before there even was KZbin ripping lips 🌊🎉 he was sliding out almost to the freaking sand bar skimin at a skim contest in Panama City back in 98 bro, those in the know, know, ya know . 😋🤙

[@sorinholland4]

@@SkidKids the production quality in this one was... 👨🏻‍🍳💋 Great job Skylar et al.

[@ramdas363]

He needs to be brought to justice for the continuous destruction of nature back in the US.

[@genomitchalinni8106]

I spent my childhood there. I've missed it for over 20 years. Dana Point, Salt Creek, 1000 steps, one hundred percent.

[@genomitchalinni8106]

I remember the first "Oak St. Skimboard Competitionon. I wish that I still had that shirt. Bless it all, without prophanity.

[@caseyhansen4567]

What year was the 1st oak street contest.i lived there from 83 to 93 and grew up going there since I was little.my great grandparents lived by boat canyon.i remember amber Cottle. The Henderson and Tex skimming Shaws cove in the late 70s

[@Thesporteditor2439]

Love you guys thanks so much

[@lurard1280]

Amazing vlogging and skimboarding you spread such positive vibes thank you

[@tojo8495]

Congratulations on the video! Portugal is a paradise for those who love water sports

[@TheNuxius]

Was great meeting you all in Portugal! Come back soon! PS: Thanks for the shades Blair 😎

[@SkidKids]

Yeah Alex! Thanks for watching the vids Big Dog! Hope you enjoy those shades

[@MarteloIsa]

Hi Blair! We, me and my husband, would like to thank you and Emanuel for making Kiko's dreams come true! ❤️ Being with both, in Santa Cruz, was really important for him! He loves his teacher and to see your work!!! He talks a lot and had lots of questions but language was still a barrier this time! I hope next goes better. We will be waiting for you!!! 🙂 Greetings from Sesimbra!!

[@careyconklin417]

Great Edit! Sweet narrative capturing the vibe and adventure of the trip. Skylar is masterful at her craft. ✨😎

[@thomashauer6804]

no she missed half of it and always has an additude

[@graham_the_skimmer]

Sick style of video

[@graham_the_skimmer]

Need more

[@Bungleboo2]

The skid wiz is back

[@Krmpfpks]

Blair is also an accomplished surfer. I love to see him blur the lines between surfing and skimboarding.

[@thomasriddle8877]

No shyt dude, hes opened my eyes on some things for sure.. i had no idea skim boarding could go that far.. Its sad because, it seems this style of surf skimming is probably best suited for areas like where i live..

[@frshyzak]

So cool to see you in the UK!

[@norcalskim1]

What a fun vid! Airport Mouse rocks!

[@waveriders6970]

Beautiful scenery, Blair friendly vibes always good to seek new adventures. 🏄🏻‍♂️🏄🏻‍♂️🏄🏻‍♂️🏄🏻‍♂️🏄🏻‍♂️🌏

It's a joy to see this guy on a board!!!

[@reggiebald2830]

"Oh boy"! And a grand time has been had by all; ole & newcomers, alike. [nice to see Ingrid again in your travels] Looking forward to more ~

[@SkidKids]

Ingrid is back! Thanks for watching and supporting what we do Reggie!

[@matthewservin577]

One of the sickest videos in a while 🔥🤙

[@grantscrabis8136]

Skylar's filming is insane.

[@SkidKids]

She has a good eye and some serious editing skills

[@Joao1Gamer]

Started skimboarding because of you!!! Best regards from a man of Santa Cruz itself :D

[@tiagotaquelim1776]

Same!! Santa Cruz rocks!

[@grandpachuck6354]

Never associated U.K. with surfing even after living and working there for a couple years. Live 'n' learn. Way cool skimming action down those cobblestone steps in Portugal. Glad the guy that did a faceplant was okay.

[@BBountyHunter]

North of Cornwal and south of Wales are the best and most beautiful spots for watersports in the UK. There are places in Cornwall where the sports are so popular that equipment hire is dirt cheap.

[@eer1227]

Niceeeee

[@shukidogtv2726]

Was an absolute honour to meet you and Skylar , you absolutely killed it in the pool 🤙.....such a fantastic edit 👌👏👏 Can't believe I'm actually in one of your clips 😁🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@BBountyHunter]

Oh man! I live 40 minutes from Bristol and had no idea a place like that existed! I might check it out some time.

[@Bearded360]

Watching for years and first time I saw the mud under the nose trick.👍

[@danpopper3488]

Great seeing Blair get out of his comfort zone Love from jup fl.

[@SkidKids]

Need to leave Laguna every once in a while

[@corinneconklin8781]

❤❤❤. Loved this! What a trip!

[@SkidKids]

Thanks MOM!

[@vincerabbit]

One of my fav Skid Kids Vids!

[@Turbo_Tastic]

wow.. what a boss.. tha'ts magical to watch.. would love to learn how to skim on waves like that; you owned that Wave park .. ownership right there. they should have just given you the keys and all went home forever.

[@SkidKids]

hahaha! Appreciate that! can you email the Wave Garden Execs about that

[@genomitchalinni8106]

So, Blair, here's a story of having money doesn't have anything to do with a good life. Some of my best memories were of having a dollar, in quarters, to get a round trip, bus ticket, with transfer's, to get from Anaheim to 1000 steps. With sleeping gear, 5 shopping bags, trash bags to clean and pack out trash, up the stairs, and I would camp out every weekend, there, for years. The longest stay, without leaving the beach, was a week. When Can Halen came out with the album"1984", I was camping at 1,000 Steps Beach". Please, take good care of that magical place, with a great history. Check the archive's of the Orange County Register, newspaper of the first "El Nino" storm there.

[@leomora6817]

I loved this one!!!!

[@Mattridesboards]

You’re gnarly. Keep the vids comin!

[@RinoGmes1]

Finally seeing the video! I saw you guys skimming in Torres Vedras at Chafariz dos Canos, super rad!

[@jmrita]

Welcome to Portugal! 💪

[@genomitchalinni8106]

FYI. The best spot, to get into, The Wedge, is a channel between "Clynders" (we used to call that northern break next to The Wedge, Gravel's". Enough said.

[@capodad2u]

Nice video Blair. I went to high school with your dad, lbhs 75. Also grew up in England and went back there in 72 and made a plywood skimmer and a skateboard. I was just like you long hair and all. Lol.

[@kenmckinley1526]

Off the beach skimming in Portugal was epic.

[@SkidKids]

Oh yeah! So much potential for that in portugal with all their cobble stone streets

[@theovanstaden5766]

Lots of fun on this Euro tour, Nice one Blair!

[@SkidKids]

Glad you enjoyed! Skylar crushed it on this edit.

[@sorinholland4]

Sorry Ingrid, the nose thing was funny AF. Great meeting you in VB Blair. 🤙🏻🌊🍍

[@deanhumphries7878]

This guy is CLASS.

[@roguelouvino4800]

Oh Hell Yeah! I was Just Gonna Ask to Skimboard on a FlowRider!!! That's gonna be absolutely gnarly!! 🤘🤙

[@Trohelio]

Totally 🔥🔥🔥 🤘🤙

[@mikeobryant3367]

Damn I just noticed ur subs! Been with y'all for a while. Nice work! Well deserved.

[@DownDeepPodcast]

So so Rad!!! Yewwww

[@genomitchalinni8106]

I kidding. I just Jest. Like a Jester. So many props and prayers for you, and everyone around you. Have you given competitionons, off of peirs in so.cal for future lifeguards, yet?

[@JohnMorawietz]

Gotta be the most fun Skidkids vid ever, loved it, "you're doing AMAZING". Excellent job on the editing. Totally unexpected to see this but somehow sensed to check out Skidkids today.

[@SkidKids]

No way! Thanks for tuning in Jamage! Really glad you were stoked on the video. We are excited to share next weeks video as well. We scored in France!

[@f87115]

50 Percent peroxide 50% water. Pour it in your ear each eve lay on side and let sit 10 minutes

[@SkidKids]

Yep, I havnt done that in a while

[@f87115]

I cleaned ears at a clinic that’s all we use ,,, they make a squirt bottle with a tip that goes in the ear and flushes it out… oh do not use cold water in ears,,, it will make you pass out ,,, If you have a friend that you want to pass out squirt some ice water in the ear they might not pass out but they will get dizzy and possibly pass out ,,, love watching u do something I can only dream of ,,, good stuff

[@andresfajardo2958]

Wish there was more skim spots in Cali but this is so dope man. Your shredding it out there💯

[@robbiegartonio2477]

These videos are awesome, and you all look happy doing stuff you love - good vibes. Cornwall has some great beaches along with Devon. Unfortunately here on the east coast in UK not so much but I have been watching your videos and inspired to start skimming again in my 40s. Keep up the great work. Ps Would be lovely if you had a exile skim board distributor in the UK.

[@genomitchalinni8106]

THE VERY FIRST, " El Nino" storm, peirs across So. Cal., Were getting ripped apart. A few friends, and I, decided to check out, 1,000 Steps Beach. The Army Corpsbor Engineers helecoptered in a Excavactor to save those 3 houses from the shore break Waves of 9th st. It was so epic, it made the the front page of The Orange County Register newspaper. Ask your folks.

[@danielpaulwilliams9036]

Yeaaah Blair! Woolacombe is my local, so good to see you cruising the old logs. Super good for flatland skimming on these beaches, not exactly the Wedge in terms of waves though... Keep it up!

[@SkidKids]

Yeah Daniel! We will be back. Such a stunningly beautiful place you live in!

[@barne3668]

ok this one was awesome. started with a real sweet wave park in the UK of all places.... some of those were decent fake waves. portugal looks fun too! can't wait for the next episode Blair

[@SkidKids]

Thanks Barne! Really appreciate you! The fake waves were definitely better than what we had to work with in the ocean while we were in the UK. Next time we will hopfeully get better ocean waves in Cornwall.

[@genomitchalinni8106]

Hey, Blair, ever run for the border? 🎵 I need some good clean water. 🎶

[@WCANO626]

The ear thing! That's superb! Love that you're surfing the UK. Can't wait for you to try Cornwall

[@SkidKids]

That is next on my list of places to go!

[@rodrigoleitao4254]

This day was sick ❤️🔥🔥

[@hannes9464]

This makes me wanna start skimboarding

[@TrevFlips]

Great work skylar! And damn blair, you showed out! Sick video

[@nathanloveridge3761]

Not even finished and feel the need to comment! Great video and so happy to see you in the UK! I hope we treated you well.

[@SkidKids]

We had an absolute blast and were welcomed with sunshine! It was stupidly beautiful there

[@Prod.Jetski]

The Skyrar touch really upped the quality of this one!

[@henriquemiranda5458]

Love santa cruz

[@genomitchalinni8106]

As a surfing kid, after seeing a huge Tiger Shark, I would raise hell of anybody fishing around surfers.

[@JDPalFruits]

Love it! Can’t believe you didn’t visit Fistral Beach, surf capital of the UK!

[@Vida_salada]

Next gonna be epic 👊

[@supexplore8397]

Can’t believe you came to the UK! Love The Wave, I’m going soon, also you should come back in the Winter and try Cornwall

[@genomitchalinni8106]

The saying, back in the begining of the 80's, at 1,000 Steps Beach, was, "Bring it down, pack it out.". Alot of "Mission Viejo" kids wouldn't. So, I, and my friends, would bring trash bags, with us, to clean up the house, pack it out, and keep that 9th and 10th street beach looking prestine. Carry it on. Up those 224 steps.

[@zoorigdimen7915]

Awesome vid🤙

[@boyanz937]

Awesome vid - glad to see you made it to the UK. We even sorted some weather for you :)

[@jeremymurphy8661]

Blair in France ! I’m close to the Cap Ferret would be amazing to see you

[@SkidKids]

Stay tuned for next weeks video! We scored in Cap Ferret

[@petermcmahon15]

Gotta love skid kids surprised you left little dog behind

[@SkidKids]

Little dog is going full time surf maniac. Might make it in to the WSL one of these days

[@genomitchalinni8106]

The mating season of Grey Whales seem to attract White Sharks, too.

[@genomitchalinni8106]

Yo, skid kids, I use to practice Knunckucks at 10th St. 1000 steps. When it was more private.

[@wpgne]

Nice music choices during the surf segments. Whom are they by, if you happen to know? Just subscribed to your channel about two weeks ago.

[@genomitchalinni8106]

At a super low tide, 1982, you could walk, in the surf, almost to the middle of The Newport Pier, So Cal. That day, of low tide, some guy fishing on the Peir hooked ontu an 18 foot Tiger Shark. Understand?

[@patron40silver]

Doing it turtle style🐢🐢. We used to skim flooded golf courses and flooded walnut orchards.

[@emisurfchannel2280]

Welcome to Europa 😱cool!

[@Whereisharald]

Yeah Blair! yewww

[@genomitchalinni8106]

I believe that Seal beach had alot of sand brought in to save beach houses. The Ocean brought the sand to bad ass places like Salt Creek and 1,000 Steps Beach. Ask your granddad.

[@genomitchalinni8106]

So, if you Snorkel around the reefs of 10th St. So Laguna, you will see an orange colored fish called a Gerabaldie. They are protected. Catch and immediately release. They are a reef fish. Tiger shark love them.

[@Sicnus]

I heard a rumor! (You know if you are old like me, you heard those lyrics play in your head...) Love the vid Blair!

[@SkidKids]

Thanks for watching Trae!

[@Sicnus]

@@SkidKids My pleasure. Blair is amazing and a super chill guy. I'm older, 54, and have done Rock Climbing for 35 years... but I really enjoy surfing when I get out once every year or so. We can all at least live vicariously through him ;)

[@samuelpatterson4031]

Really cool style of video

[@SkidKids]

Super stoked you enjoyed!

[@genomitchalinni8106]

Did they dismantle the house, on the beach, of tenth street, that had a private Peir? The cement pools are still there, right?

[@Monkiri712]

The first was so unlike i bever tought blair would surf a normal wave

[@genomitchalinni8106]

So, in the early 80's , us young kids use to challenge gromiy, lifeguards that had to jump off of The Newport Pier. It was halarioys, as being an Aquaman.

[@genomitchalinni8106]

Pack it in, pack it out. 1,000 Steps Beach!

[@genomitchalinni8106]

Salt Creek is not a secret. It has been a feature in surfing magazines for many years. Too much sand causing it not to break? I remember that 10th St. Suffered that effect.

[@genomitchalinni8106]

Before the storm's labeled,"El Nino", The Wedge,at the South end of Balboa,was a rare occurance of epic waves. Now, it seems to be more often. Does Perry's Pizza still have a slice for a buck? 🍕

[@aaronsoule8484]

That turtle!!

[@genomitchalinni8106]

My thoughts Are to dive with a trench shovel and customize the way thatawave breaks better, there.

[@cartedubs]

Love your vids by the way
