So Blair I am an eleven year old East Coast skimboarder. I am so happy you just made this video because I am currently at the beach where I got a new skimboard a few days ago. Now I know that the size I got was good for me. Your videos are awesome by the way. Thanks Blair
Those Ex0 ride really nice... I rented one one day that my board was being repaired and I got my real first wrap and ride back to shore on it... was quite impressed by it
Love the content you guys are putting out. I took a long hiatus from skim boarding (12 yrs) and looking to get back into it again. Blair explains everything about skim boarding so it is easy to understand. If they had videos like these and the tutorials think I would've progressed more. Thanks 🙏 and keep pumping out great content!
Good informative video. I’m bummed I never got into skim boarding. At age 53 and after some dirt bike riding injuries skimming isn’t an option anymore, but I get stoked watching ur beautifully shot videos. Keep shredding !!
Bodyboard! Us older guys are good at laying around - catch a wave lying on your belly! I picked up a South Bay inflatable bodyboard. 48’ long and super buoyant.
@@MrDino-hp7fyHey Mr Dino, we got almost the same last name, I'm one letter off... are you Italian? Romanian? Never thought I'd see another Dino surf clan member.
My first board was a large vic foamie. Did well for me while it lasted. Exile hybrid shape was my next board, then a pro shape. Today I'm riding a grape skimboard and loving it.
Love your work! Been here since 4K subs😍 finally understand skim boards a little better and about to buy a new 3 boards soon just because I love to build a collection to use in the surf of Aus!
I got a wodden board, and i got super excited about it. I've got speed wax stomp pads for it. After watching this video, I realized it was small for me. It only touches my belly 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don't think it matters that much with a woody as it's more flat land skimming, when it comes to waves you need the surface area. I could be wrong, either way still get a lot of fun out of it 👍
Just started watching your videos before this last weekend and when I was londboarding to my lifeguard stand in Dewey I saw you coming off the beach from the comp. I wish I could have told you thank you for all the awesome videos
I can second your comment about wooden boards hurting A LOT when they hit you. I remember wiping out and not knowing where my Victory board was. All of a sudden a large, fast wave broke and my wooden skim board dug ran right into my right knee. Thinking it was a bad bruise ended up being a large gash. I was still boarding for 30 more minutes thinking it was a bruise. I didn’t even know I had the cut until I was drying up and a waterfall of blood ran down my leg.
Good beginner start vid. Ya gotta address rocker "and" shape working together next. 3 boards, one flat, one banana and one flat with big nose rocker are gonna be completely different boards witht he same shape/length. I prefer a flat board with lots of nose rocker, normal length, kinda wide pin tail, but not round. Good for long distance connection, long liners, slow mushy siders and when i put my rear foot back super huge onshore mashers. Unless manufacturers have an adjustable table, they don't like to make them.....lol
@Goncalo Fonseca dude I live in Pennsylvania and skim in the grass lol I would get one if you enjoy stuff like this, they are fun I use one and ride behind our boat and when we go to the beach in destin Fl.
I recently got into Skimboarding with my son. Went online. Bought a 48" Slapfish skimboard. I should've done my research and bought an Exile for a couple hundred more.. The board hardly has any buoyancy and pretty sharp edges that tore up my shin this past weekend pretty bad.. Not giving up yet, but I guess you get what you pay for... Hope to sell this one and buy an Exile in the near future... Saving doe atm..
Been Into surfing along time so I moved to Cornwall in slowly getting board of it and I've been watching your videos for a while now I'm think of giving skimboarding a go but I'm not sure what to buy as there isn't many shops in Cornwall that do skimboards 😒anyway keep up your cool videos and keep up the beach life
Hey mate, I am 5’10 and 230 lbs. I am certainly a true beginner. I have attempted skimming but rented what you described as an Expert board. lol… I fractured my shoulder, wrist an elbow. I bought a Woody, but it’s only at 40”’s. So common sense after watching your video I need an Exile EXO 52” with pads?
Love this channel, I'm not really one for leaving comments but I feel like I have got to say thank you. Watching this channel urged me to get a board and now I am obsessed! Just sucks I live in the UK Midlands 😔
Here’s the thing I love Skimboarding, I’ve been doing it for a couple of years but the skimboards I have I don’t think it’s meant for the water. So I am inbetween advanced and experienced so what skimboards do u think I should get( I was thinking either the pro or the hybrid)
hey what beach are you at? This suggestion might break your budget, but if you have smaller waver, like coco or Melbourne beach, the dude cruise is a good option. If you get higher waves, like on the west coast, i suggest the blairacuda. I absolutely love the blairicuda. My custom blairacuda got delivered today.
I'll probably do the same. Just so I don't have to buy another board once I want to get into the waves a bit more. I can just progress from the sand to the waves.
Can the boards you recommended also be used for flatwater skimming? I don‘t live close to a coast, however spend large portions of our family vacation at beaches. If possible I’d like a board I can use at home at the lake or whatever and at the beach, when on vacation. And second question, would you rather recommend getting separate boards for my son and myself, or can we start of together with a board that would be useful to me as an adult, however isn‘t too heavy for him to carry and drop? Thanks and keep up the great content.
My family goes to the ocean every year and I always loved skim boards because I watched Laguna Beach growing up, so in 2015 my parents surprised me with a skimboard. When they handed it to me, I did NOT expect it to be that heavy because I had literally just finished boogie boarding second before and that’s where my mindset was, so I was pretty surprised. It’s a thick wooden board so I was actually pretty scared to try it out because I was afraid of really hurting myself. I’ve just been skimming the sand these passed few years and I’ve actually gotten pretty good but I’m still afraid to do anything crazy.
we need an update to this video, including the boog skim! Is the boog skim a good board that can be used by intermediate riders and progress? looking at it as my next board.
I'm looking to getting a corbon fiber board, I'm 6ft. 185 pounds. I'm still learning how to ride a skimboard, but I want something more long term. I'm totally okay with struggling with a pro board, I just don't know what to get. Any suggestions?
Well, maybe 15 years ago I fell flat on my face. Now years on and 6 videos in, I'm learning about which board I should ride... Damn your videos are addictive!
I’m trying to determine if I should get the standard shape EX0 or the Dude Cruise shape. I’m looking at the 48 inch version’s, as that hits right at my sternum / nipple line. I am 5’5” and my weight fluctuates between 135lbs. - 150lbs. I am a beginner and will only be using the board about 4 to 6 times a year. I live in Orlando Florida so when I go to the beach it’s normally either Cocoa Beach or New Smyrna Beach (Florida east coast). The wave conditions very greatly, sometimes it’s calm other times it’s rough and choppy. Sometimes the waves are small other times they are somewhat large. As much as I want the board to be versatile I also don’t want to get discouraged learning, and want to be able to enjoy it if I don’t progress much. The standard EX0 is 5/8 in thickness with a point tail, and the Dude Cruise is a 3/4 thickness that tapers down to a 5/8, The Dude Cruise has a fishtail and a wider nose. Since I’m a beginner I want something that I’m going to be able to enjoy learning on and using under multiple conditions. Which one should I go with? Based on my skill level, and the Beaches I typically go to.
West coast skimboarder but never go to the beach but go to lake regularly. I have a thin wooden board and medium or high perf (I couldn’t tel) body glove board. I go out bout several feet but not very big waves and don’t know how to go out further. Tips on lake skimboarding please!
Ok bro so ive been learning how to ride since i was 9 and im 16 now but ive only been able to learn one week out of every year. Ive gotten to the point where i never fall of, should i get like an advanced kind of board or a little below that?
I'm on the bar part of Florida and ii got a new skim board 2 days ago its a zap board and it's been so good if your in Florida or east coast get zap skimboards
I got my skimboard a few months back but when I got the skimboard I was told it was up to my belly button? It works great but what difference would it be if I got one up to my sternum?
S'up Blair, Appreciate your videos bro. I'm from Florida, lived in So.Cali, and now living in Wisconsin. I just saw a skim board and was intrigued. Thx for the information, I'm going to go out and get a skim board and start learning now. I'm excited to learn something new. Question tho: Does being a longboarder help?
I am wanting to get into skimboarding. Your website isn't working and when I go to the Exile website the EX0 isn't listed as available anymore? Do you have a new recommendation for a beginner skimboard?
I live in Ontario Canada is it possible to get into the sport all the way out here? I’m very new to the sport but it looks so fun!! Please leave any feed back you have!!
うちはイタチ woher weißt du das ich deutsch bin🙌🙈 Es ist echt schwerer als ich gedachtet habe, also am Anfang bin ich eigentlich nur hingeflogen, aber am Ende konnte ich schon etwas sliden🙈Aber es macht echt sehr Spaß. Ich habe es in so einem kleinen Laden gekauft, also das ist aus Holz und ich wollte es damit nur ausprobieren ob mir skimnoarden Spaß macht
Hey Blair, I recently got a new skimboard, it's one of those redback traction pad ones and whenever i go to catch a wave on it it just sinks. I was just wondering if you could use one of these in your videos to see if its just me. Thanks
I have a carbon fiber board sooooo light I have to go really low when I drop it as well what material should I use to do a 1 step drop at waist height?
Hey blair, im am just starting to go out and plane, do you think the EX2 would be good for me? I skim in the gulf coast of florida and are eleven years old.
I am just kinda getting into skimboarding and I wanted to buy my first board. I saw a skimboard for €40 and it’s a foam skimboard. It that worth my while or not.
Hey Blair, I learned on the Victoria woody and always have done the drop and chase. But thanks to your and Austin Keen’s tutorials I can now one step! I want to get a good board now and venture from flat skim to hitting waves. I’m 5’6” and weigh around 210ish. What is a good choice?
Hi, I cannot find the exile kids boards to purchase. I check on a few sites and amazon already. I need a board for a beginner, he 55 pounds and 53" tall.
Is learning on a higher end skimboard a bad idea? I used to be able to do this decently and haven't done it for awhile and wanna get back into but I imagine I'll have to relearn everything but dont wanna get an entry level or intermediate if I plan on out growing it
Hi, I have a question someone hopefully can answer. There is a O`Brien Nalu wakeboard close to me selling for cheap. Can this board be used for skimming? There aren`t many waves on the beaches around here, so thinking just ollies, shove its and gliding launching of the beach in shallow waters.
I want just the right board for learning I'm athletic and 5' 11 but I'm heavy around 225 right now I build muscle in gym . I may drop.weight to 215 or less, maybe I should just get a carbon fibre I'm not at real big waves but I want to.get out eventually to waves. What kind of board for heavier body? I skate board and snowboard since I was young. For my Heavey weight what do I need , bodybuilder weight
I live in oregon and grew up making my own boards. It's been about 15 years and grabbed a beginner board to get back into it. Any suggestions on shape or style for this area? Thinking of using the one I grabbed for some urban ridding since it's a low quality wood. Any advice would be helpful
Just signed up to be notified when the website is live (July 14, 2020), any rough idea when that will be? How about price range for a beginner board that could make it out to waves? I'm about 5'10, 170lbs. Thanks guys and gals, keep it up!
Hey Blair I’ve been trying to get a new board because I’m 6’2 200 pounds so every time I try to get out to a wave I just lose speed and start sinking haha I’ve been skimming since I was little so what do u think the best board for me to get is
Hi Blair! I was wondering when your website will be finished because I’m looking for a Exile Exo skimboard since the one i have is foam and I’m looking for a better one at the moment, i also love your videos! Thanks
my first and only board was wood it has caused me a lot of pain especially in my shins i pulled my calf muscle twice in a day and im just trying to get my leg fully back same day that i pulled my calf muscle both times that board hit me so hard in the shin that i had a bump as big as a golf ball it was amazing day

good job brother
What size board, make, and model do you use?
I’m 6’3 and I can’t figure out what board to get for my fist one
@@Space.Viking same. I’m thinking a 52” Big Cat but I’m not sure

My parents said I could only get a skim board up to 100 can you recommend me a good one in that price zone
@@jgaming1815 if you are still looking for one, get a used victoria or exile board. Nothing else will compare at that price range
the Kaloco anasey is a great board for $65 dollars
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and love your passion and information you provide to the sport.
Beauty of a drone shot at the beginning 😍
I just bought a exile because I’m new but I used to surf.Thank you for your suggestions because it made me feel better about my purchase.
all I need in life is a good shore break and the blairacuda
Devmatonic soooooooooo true
I just got a Ex2 Baliracuda and live in cabo🤪🤪🤪
@Cameron’s Clams 🖕
The real quistion is have you tried zaps rocket fish
Cameron’s Clams lol ur annoying af
Just moved to Florida and got a zap board I love it still trying to get the basics down your videos help a lot thanks!

It hurt so bad to read this, that happened to me early on
we all started somewhere

I started with a way to small wooden skimboard but sand skimming on that thing was awesome. Just take it out there and learn some tricks on the edge.

Lost my first skimboard yesterday, cause of the storm and it being dark, so here I am learning how to choose an even better one.
The thing is I don’t got money lol 😂 feels bad
Try Facebook market place
Or stop watching these videos and start working lol
Ahngoh Mcdaniel I would but COVID here so I can’t work. And also I’m not legal age.
Damn that’s tough, good luck brother
I’m really getting back into this sport after 9-10 years away. Man, I’ve missed this. Wish I never stopped
Congrats on the 20k subscribers!
Thanks for the info. I started skimboarding 5 years ago but went on a hiatus after working in Germany for 3 years.
Damn when he said if your 6’5 you probably can’t skim board my heart shattered 💔
Crying in 6’7
Slightly worried at 6’ 3”
Will Forslund you can do it at 6’3
Just surf surf then lool
I’m 6’5 and 15 and that hurt me haha
Been Into surfing along time so I moved to Cornwall in slowly getting board of it and I've been watching your videos for a while now I'm think of giving skimboarding a go but I'm not sure what to buy as there isn't many shops in Cornwall that do skimboards 😒anyway keep up your cool videos and keep up the beach life
I’m Cornish and looking for skimboards is definitely difficult. Did you find anything?

I love the blairacuda I own one it’s really good for wraps
Yea Blair I took the pic with you at the tac I had the green and yellow board
Ultimate toy store! Gorgeous boards.
Love this channel, I'm not really one for leaving comments but I feel like I have got to say thank you. Watching this channel urged me to get a board and now I am obsessed! Just sucks I live in the UK Midlands 😔
Jon Keeling same goes , Blackpool won’t do the trick

I’m thinking about opting for an ex2 even as a beginner, as something I can use consistently and kinda grow into (skill wise). good Idea or not?
I'll probably do the same. Just so I don't have to buy another board once I want to get into the waves a bit more. I can just progress from the sand to the waves.
My exile exo board goes to my chin but still works because I haven’t even hit my growthsperts yet and I will hit them soon so I’ll grow into the board

Reef Road, Palm Beach,FL. Biggest waves on the east coast. 15ft swells on a good day.
Cant wait for my poster honestly, thank you blair :)
is skateboarding and skimboarding similar i skated for like 6 years was pretty decent never tried skimboarding
Nice tutorial. I like the focus on height, which we are the same, but I'm at least 60 lbs heavier than you, what else do I need to know?
Go with a dude cruise shape. They are meant for heavier people and they are wider

when will the boards be on ur website???? I'm looking to buy a board, and also wanted to support the channel.
Im pretty sure he works at exile, so all the boards here are in there office

Ok bro so ive been learning how to ride since i was 9 and im 16 now but ive only been able to learn one week out of every year. Ive gotten to the point where i never fall of, should i get like an advanced kind of board or a little below that?
I need a decent board for less than $100. Should I try and get a good board from here or no?
Would be interest too to know that.
I’ve been skimming around on a piece of plywood not knowing that there’s more to skim boarding this is cool
I'm on the bar part of Florida and ii got a new skim board 2 days ago its a zap board and it's been so good if your in Florida or east coast get zap skimboards
I got one for Christmas and I’m using it tomorrow I’m excited
I got my skimboard a few months back but when I got the skimboard I was told it was up to my belly button? It works great but what difference would it be if I got one up to my sternum?
I’m 5’9 and 130lbs, but I’m trying to gain a little bit of weight, what would be the best size board to get, I’m looking more towards the hybrid shape

There’s only one and it’s in California
I am just kinda getting into skimboarding and I wanted to buy my first board. I saw a skimboard for €40 and it’s a foam skimboard. It that worth my while or not.
Hey Blair, I learned on the Victoria woody and always have done the drop and chase. But thanks to your and Austin Keen’s tutorials I can now one step! I want to get a good board now and venture from flat skim to hitting waves. I’m 5’6” and weigh around 210ish. What is a good choice?
Great question and boy are you in luck!!!!! Blair just shot a detailed video to answer your exact question....how about you watch it?
Hi, I cannot find the exile kids boards to purchase. I check on a few sites and amazon already. I need a board for a beginner, he 55 pounds and 53" tall.
Been debating on chub scout or retro fish/blairacuda for a while now. First real board after zap wedge
Go for the blair
Is learning on a higher end skimboard a bad idea? I used to be able to do this decently and haven't done it for awhile and wanna get back into but I imagine I'll have to relearn everything but dont wanna get an entry level or intermediate if I plan on out growing it
Sou brasileiro n entendo nd do que vc fala mas n perco nenhum vídeo, parabéns pelo oq vc faz
I just ordered an Exile Retro Fish shape. Could you tell me what I should expect from the board?
Just ordered my dude cruise. Can't frigg'n wait.
Hi, I have a question someone hopefully can answer. There is a O`Brien Nalu wakeboard close to me selling for cheap. Can this board be used for skimming? There aren`t many waves on the beaches around here, so thinking just ollies, shove its and gliding launching of the beach in shallow waters.
I want just the right board for learning I'm athletic and 5' 11 but I'm heavy around 225 right now I build muscle in gym . I may drop.weight to 215 or less, maybe I should just get a carbon fibre I'm not at real big waves but I want to.get out eventually to waves. What kind of board for heavier body? I skate board and snowboard since I was young. For my Heavey weight what do I need , bodybuilder weight
I live in oregon and grew up making my own boards. It's been about 15 years and grabbed a beginner board to get back into it. Any suggestions on shape or style for this area? Thinking of using the one I grabbed for some urban ridding since it's a low quality wood. Any advice would be helpful
Any advice on the board size I should buy? I'm 5'3" and weight about 135 lbs. How many inches in height should my board be?
Just signed up to be notified when the website is live (July 14, 2020), any rough idea when that will be? How about price range for a beginner board that could make it out to waves? I'm about 5'10, 170lbs.
Thanks guys and gals, keep it up!
Thanks for posting! I'm just getting started.
Hey Blair I’ve been trying to get a new board because I’m 6’2 200 pounds so every time I try to get out to a wave I just lose speed and start sinking haha I’ve been skimming since I was little so what do u think the best board for me to get is
I had a Wood board and it’s destroyed and I was looking for a good skateboard in this video help me out a lot hope I can buy one of those 😀
Hi Blair! I was wondering when your website will be finished because I’m looking for a Exile Exo skimboard since the one i have is foam and I’m looking for a better one at the moment, i also love your videos! Thanks
Hey Blair I am getting better at getting and riding waves in, do u think zap boards would be good for me
I’m 6’2 and 200lbs. Bought a 54” Zap ⚡️ Pro.
Any other suggestions for a beginner rider?
Does that go to your sternum cause I’m also 6’2 and trying to find the right size
my first and only board was wood it has caused me a lot of pain especially in my shins
i pulled my calf muscle twice in a day and im just trying to get my leg fully back same day that i pulled my calf muscle both times that board hit me so hard in the shin that i had a bump as big as a golf ball
it was amazing day
Oh man I can't wait to do all that.
I have a question if we buy these like on the exile website do we have to polish them and set them up?
