We Built a Skimboarding Ramp and Pool at The Beach

@AdrienRaza and Blair Conklin build a Pool leading up to a ledge at the beach. The whole process of building the pool took quite a bit longer than expected and gave us little time to skim before dark. After all the fun that we had you can bet that we will be trying this again some time soon!

It's great to see Blair continuously fail to pull off this new stunt because it shows he's actually human. Watching him experience the same frustration beginners do who are new to skimboarding and surfing, for example, is inspiring and reminds the rest of us, the beginners, to keep grinding away until we get the results we want. It takes a big man not to shy away from looking awkward while learning how to do something new and challenging. Thank you, Blair.

[@VinylGuruOfficial]

Love this channel. Skim community needs more of this 🤙🏼

[@bennyskim]

Raw skate clip vibes, it's nice to see the progress!

[@1minutecomicswalahollywood648]

8:43 Skimboarding ramp, You always come up with new ideas.

[@bigalacarte167]

Dude! I just caught your first wave of morning. Big set Back side barrel doggy door exit completion. Blessed.

[@SkidKids]

Yeah Big Al! Aliso had a few fun ones this morn!

[@surfsquatch5]

Props to you Blair for pulling off all these sick ideas you come up with !

[@leocastrillo759]

just bought my first Victoria wooden skimboard for 60 bucks at the thrift store, went down the street to the surf shop to get some surf wax and they were selling it in the window for $140. it's wooden though so it's a good beginner board

[@gohoosiers8824]

We need a part two where you land this and then go into the water and wrap back to shore

[@waveriders6970]

Wow Blair, that was sketchy but you guys did great. Very exciting to watch. 🏄🏻‍♂️🏄🏻‍♂️🏄🏻‍♂️

[@arf138]

this is awesome.. digging a BMX Dirt Jump Step Down.. But at the beach.. and going skim

[@RyanRad01]

Those Ollie’s were absolutely MASSIVE🤘🏼🔨🔨

[@emisurfchannel2280]

Yeah!! spectacular inventions !! have fun at the sea🙂

[@luisdias4539]

This has alot of potential, keep it comming!

[@HanzelFonferek]

Sweet! I miss skim boarding

[@Sixsoul]

Great video guys! Alternate title could be: Ignorant Diggers

[@camerenmahan4850]

More of this! Love seeing Adrien in the vidoes as well! :)

[@webbshull1961]

You guys make me want to go to the beach so bad. Love the vids

[@wyattchapman3154]

Fr

[@CigarAttache]

The leatherman! Yes! 🤣💥👊🏼👊🏼

[@ryanrowe1975]

Cool 🆒️

[@jericktiguelo8750]

I WISH I HAD A BOARD LIKE THAT

[@Sicnus]

Why didn't you guys get this another 20' where you could go straight into the ocean and keep going!

[@ryans2118]

Gotta start somewhere. Looks fun except burns. Wear a rash guard!

[@BigAirBeaver]

SUMP PUMP!!! GET A MASSIVE SUMP PUMP TO PUMP THE WATER STRAIGHT FROM THE OCEAN INTO YOUR POOL!!

[@koolieboardsports9331]

sick vid man. id love to get on the skim

[@danjmorse]

one of the portable lithium battery companies should sponsor Blair so he can use it with a small pump and then just pump seawater on the poly instead of fresh water from the house...

[@asawolfe_]

yea fresh water not really cool we are in a drought....

[@aydenlilly8416]

it would be sick if y'all designed skimboarding necklaces or bracelets !!

[@beckettridesbikes4205]

So sick 🤙🏼

[@rayvelasco2059]

Most Excellent ¿

[@tyronegoncalves3014]

Have you seen tarp surfing? Blair would love it.

[@benburnett2706]

That landing looked extra nasty, maybe try a sheet of ply underneath to smooth the landing. The landing was receiving constant impact and sand compacts even more when you add water. The ply would expand the impact from the landing and not harden the sand landing. I dunno I’m high it’s 4 am

[@ballerbrosmedia]

Can u make a video on how to turn on a ski board for beginners

[@Charles-tx8pw]

Maybe dig out a little shallow pool at the bottom to absorb some of the impact and give you guys some control to ride away?

[@Staples144]

Sick bro😎

[@trevorcicco2060]

Blair come to seaside NJ!!!

[@chanman5125]

Wow

[@blueandgreenslacks]

That was dope. Now I see why homeboy left his shirts on. Initially I thought man boobage, now I see that he was the man. Thinking fella’ was able to go harder longer. Both supadope tho!!

[@petertrout8140]

1) add more plastic at the ending 2) flatten out the “jump” just a bit, to keep speed up 3) DO IT!!!! If the best in the world can’t do it, fix the ramp. Mahalo

[@petertrout8140]

Wow, what am I to add something to one of the best on the world????? My apologies.

[@dominecsuyom382]

My dream is foam board exile because my board is woody..😅

[@SpacedHawk]

That was concerning. Super sketchy 😬 Broken leg probable. Glad there were no injuries

[@whywhatwherein]

the landing is quite difficult. the vertical damping done with the legs needs to be done in a way that doesn't create a lot of horizontal motion on the board. try having your legs separated as much as possible on the board when jumping and landing

[@steviewood6774]

It looked like it should have been a little bit more flat for the landing of tarp is that tarp looked really raggedy a lot more water for it look pretty dry but did a hell of a job

[@NevadaSmith2]

Someone really needs to upload B-Rothe’s part from Sicky Rolla. I think it came out in like 2006 -following year he won the biggest flatland comp of the time (Sac Skimfest), and his first flatland comp ever. Dude was so rad.

[@austinstepho2725]

I already know how slippery that plastic is on the landing though🤙

[@michaelkusy6666]

I really think you guys are on to somthing here. Like Blair said your setup was wrong. I see rails, fun boxes, etc... into wrap around barrels.?🤙🤙

[@MD69BarrelKilla]

You guys ever see Steven from that TV show there?

[@user-zu2pl6nr5b]

Make a part 2

[@boredom183]

Around 10:45-50 blair ate shit 😂😂😂

[@chrisvolk2587]

🤙🏻

[@tyronegoncalves3014]

Maybe next time put the plastic on the down hill and the jump just before the water line.

[@shallowwaterfishing1673]

Yeeeew

[@lanewatson5003]

I have one of those because I'm 2 hours away from the beach and it's 20 by 100 feet

[@lanewatson5003]

I want lessons but I'm to far away from any body

[@somphothbsiratsamy3748]

Why didn’t you guys take the sprayer off

[@grandpachuck6354]

When Blair slid bare skin across dry patch of plastic, looked painful. Hope it was not as bad as it looked. Otherwise, some innovative cool fun.

[@cashhenrich5125]

I got a skimboard today and I was doing good and I got on the board and the board slipped out from under me and the front of my foot landed while I went back and it hurts so bad and it’s only our first day at the beach

[@christopher6927]

Why not buckets😅

[@AdrienRaza]

yihaaaa

[@somphothbsiratsamy3748]

And the tarp should literally be in the shoreline

[@TeddyParker]

Blair now having to resort to extreme creativity to find a way to get injured for the 2022 contest season.

[@claytonshadwick7898]

Nevermind

[@arf138]

also.. don't dig the hole on the landing... its easier to dig the hole at the side.. so you don't have to throw sand up hill.

[@shmyeah]

rip lake mead

[@wyattchapman3154]

This was sick 🌊

[@grantswiontek9408]

A water pump would work great for this. Then you wouldn’t have to waste good water.

[@simultaneity8014]

sand tan

[@westpacificmarketanalytics2384]

There is a drought!

[@jonnyrowland]

Imagine having an entire ocean of water right next to you and you still opt to use fresh water from the hose. Big waste.

[@kenjuicebox7880]

this seems like such a waste of water....I mean its cool and all but calis in a drought

[@johngeorge5285]

Looks like alot of fun. Too bad you had to waste so much fresh water. How much water do you think you wasted...1week, 2 weeks worth? When with a few 5 gal. buckets, some time & the ocean, you have water all day. As a role model to thousands young people, you may want to think things out a little better next time. I do enjoy your videos. Reminds me of my younger days.

[@asawolfe_]

totally agree not cool at all... lets just waste water great example.

[@andreferreira8071]

Enough of thefts! Brazilian surfers should leave the WSL and create their own league!.

[@claytonshadwick7898]

What's your 20 bra

[@hallcody3]

Farmers in California must limit watering to their fruit and vegetable crops so Blair can build a freshwater pond on the beach. That skim set up is killer but maybe invest into a gas powered water pump to fill it with sea water instead cuz those woke cali conservatives could have a field day with this.

[@no1yourewrong]

Honestly 2 home depot buckets and some friends would be faster than the hose

[@asawolfe_]

@@no1yourewrong and better for all of us since we are in a drought

[@Alex_whatever]

Make sure its not a beach where sea turtles nest!

[@hallcody3]

Ever since Blair did that White Claw commercial he’s let the fame go to his head. JK Blair, you seem like a great dude, but how would you feel if any of the little groms that look up to you end up “girl drink drunks”?

[@westpacificmarketanalytics2384]

Skid Kids More like Spoiled Rich Kids

[@dominecsuyom382]

Idol Blair..can you give me a skim board I'm from Philippines....I hope y can see my comments..🤙🤙

[@420downunder7]

You can't own the beach

[@asawolfe_]

Dude we are in a drought come on bro you really cant be wasting water like that.... not really cool at all

[@roguelouvino4800]

1:21 "If you want to try this you will need Painters plastic, A T H I C C B O I" I just found that really funny

[@jericktiguelo8750]

I WISH I HAD A BOARD LIKE THAT
