    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

    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!

    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

      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 👍

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..

    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.

    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.

    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.

      Just bend your knees and crouch down really low. Your long legs could be an advantage in some ways.

    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, just getting into skimboarding.
    I feel like i will need to prove you wrong about being 6'5 and too tall to skimboard. See you in 10 years! :D

    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?

  • @colesisler582
    @colesisler582 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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?

    • @atlan7373
      @atlan7373 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    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

    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?

    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

    Do a tutorial on how to
    Pop up your board. I’ve seen people somehow pop their board up like a skateboard when they are coming back up shore. How do you do it?

    I was learning just this week, and could only afford a plywood $50 skim board that was from 130 pounds to 160, and was bummed out that I couldn’t do a ton of little waves or anything.
