    Blair carries so much more speed that everyone else. He just lightly glides across the surface, while everyone else is pumping hard to make the connection. Blair gets a real fast start and then he has the special touch to keep and generate speed. No one can make the connection as effortlessly as Blair. Thumbs up on his skill level on a skim board.

    From the music, the footage and these brave and talented people riding these waves, this is why I love the Skid Kids.

      On a round piece of flat plywood with a bevel on the circumference? I remember them well along with the crap surfboards and even worse sun protection.

    Born in Dec '52, grew up in Mill Valley CA. My sister and I skimmed, boogied and surfed. I remember the beaches before they became packed. Favorite was putting on fins and swimming over the falls (offshore!) in big storm surf. Lived on beautiful lake in Tennessee past 25 years, been slalom skiing. It's like riding a toothpick at 60-65 mph crossing behind the towboat moving at 36. I'm headed back home soon, hope to meet Blair and friends, maybe give 'em a few laughs watching the crazy long white bearded old guy getting back on the stick and pummeled in the surf - loving every minute. Cowabunga, dudes, surf's up!

    I'm convinced the 🎷 player on the track during the first half is a rider. There's no possible way he could express the joy of riding in his notes without. I dunno maybe I'm wrong but I'd bet and I don't usually gamble. Not pop tarts anyways.
