Oh, come on Marco Island right now there are some huge waves today. I had to even jumped on the rocks, so crazy about me to huge wave a felt almost drowned.😨😨😨
@@CjKirwan also that skimboard is not meant for going OUT against waves, it is for going on the shore line after a good enough wave crashes, so you are doing it correctly but wrong direction
If ur a lefty then ur doing it good except start with ur back foot when u hop on it, if ur a righty then switch sides and start with ur back food first🙌🏽
@@undefinedxx55 I’ve watched my home go from a one dirt road town in my father’s generation to an urban city flooded with northeasterners and tourists in mine. Families that have been here for generations are being priced out and our quiet natural areas are being overrun by overdevelopment. I have no high horse
You need to do some research on what type of skim board you need, to do the type of skimboarding you want to do. Plus you need to get the right size for your weight. But I hate to break it to you but one that goes out into the waves is not going to be less than 100 bucks.
Looooookkkss soo fun🤩 (can I get a pin it’s OK if not❤)
i gotchu!
@Zayy992 I grew up there, it’s a very small Island, and the beach is just one long stretch. So, access it from any point you want and take a stroll. ❤
Living in Marco, that Alvin’s store is a joke!
Haha 🤣
@@CjKirwanit’s legit just there as a crappy tourist spot
which is funny cause imo its the better of the couple locations on the island
Bargain Basket usually has skimmers. Tourists can't fit them in luggage.
Same, im visiting right now!
That skimboard is perfect for flatland skimming, wave catching you need a longer one!
Good to know!
@@CjKirwan get a thin layer of water on the beach and skim at 10-15 kmh for 30-40m! you will love that feeling! update us tho! ahaha
And he needs to buy an actual skimboard not a woody hit zap up their local down here I prefer exile tho
Flo grown marco native here lol! If you’re still here. Try the jetset surf shop 👍🏼
Next time I’m in town, I’ll make my way over there!
What hotel did you stay at?
I’m watching this video while in Marco island and that beach store is awesome
It is an awesome store!
Same and I love Ivan’s store
I’m there too rn 😆
me too lol
same
I’m there to lol😂
Ayyyeeee
You've gotta come up to Naples too 🌊 🏄
Bet
Naples has zero waves
@@anaboveaveragedog It's a lake, lol
Alvin’s island… yes… you will get very high quality skim boards at Alvin’s island… 😂
Very high quality
I I am in Marco and went to that exact store!!! Lol😂
Oh shoooot!
I love there
Lucky
I work across the street from that Alvins complete tourist trap along with the restraunts near it.
Absolutely
I’m in Marco island right now and I just saw this video 😂
Oh shooooot! 😂
Same 😂
I’m literally in Marco right now 😂😂😂
I hope you enjoy it!
Skim boarding is the best thing ever
It was fun
Dude I love skim boarding it’s so fun
I did enjoy it too!
I’m in Marco Island right now I love the pool with the water slide and the water fall
Niceeeeee
I also live on Marco Island, Please Keep it Clean and Beautiful....
We will!
Marco is the least tourist welcome tourist island. There’s two types of people that go to Marco. Family’s on vacation and rich snowbirds
True
I live just before the bridge lol
Nice
Your literally across from my condo no way
Oh shoot 👀
mine too
ME TOO IM THERE FOR VACATION AND I RECOGNIZE EVERYPLACE HE WAS AT
Surprised there aren’t more comments about those monster waves. I’ve only seen waves like that after a large storm, which is rare.
That’s what everyone was telling us when we were there. We apparently brought the waves with us from California 😂
omg i went to that store they literally have everythinggg
They really do
They used to have dead sharks inside of tubes
PLEASE STAY IN MARCO, I LIVE HERE AND I REALLY WANT TO SEE YOU AROUND
I already left 😭 but I’ll be back!
@@CjKirwan HOPEFULLY 🤞
No shut up. We dont want more people you transit.
Me too stay but come back though
@@ruthgarcia9642 do u have a kid
I LOVE ALVINS ISLAND when i went to florida we went there 3 times in a week!!!
Haha niceeeee 😂👏🏼
Can’t really expect much from a wooden skim board so that wasn’t too bad. Plus the weight limit is probably 100 pounds for that thing.
Fair enough 😂
Alvin's island is a tourist trap lol, I live right next to marco too lmaoo
It definitely feels like a trap 😂
@@CjKirwan rest of marco island is pretty chill though lmao
you literally stayed where i stay ever year like even the condo/club
Oh shoot 👀
Same im here to
Ayyyeee
Me too!
I used to live there
You should try sweet Annie’s it is across the street from Alvin’s island
We did try it! So good!!!!
@@CjKirwanI went there a day or two ago
Marco is the besttttt!!!!!!!!!
Yes it is!
If you're 60
I’m really good at skim boarding and I’m nine I just got back from my beach trip at North Carolina sunset beach
Niceeeee
Oh, come on Marco Island right now there are some huge waves today. I had to even jumped on the rocks, so crazy about me to huge wave a felt almost drowned.😨😨😨
Oh shooooot
i’m from there and it’s safe to say it’s probably my favorite beach ever
It's a really nice beach
Dope!
Very dope
Wooden skimboards will destroy your feet. Learned that the hard way.
That and they are too heavy, they sink fast
Good to know
Skimboarding is fun and all but when you wipe out just pray you don’t land on sea shells 😂
Truuueee 😂
@@CjKirwanhappened to me today, back is now torn up 😭
@@CjKirwan also that skimboard is not meant for going OUT against waves, it is for going on the shore line after a good enough wave crashes, so you are doing it correctly but wrong direction
Wooden skims are for the flat area the swallow part not the waves is you want to do the waves but an expensive thick one
Got it
Omfg I love that very pretty area
It’s nice
I fish in Marco. One of my favorite spots
Niceeee
"since the waves arent big enoug-"
WHAT DO U MEAN THEIR PERFECT
😂😂😂
I love Alvin’s.
Me too
Those waves definitely look surfablr with a foamy
I know! I wish I had one
If ur a lefty then ur doing it good except start with ur back foot when u hop on it, if ur a righty then switch sides and start with ur back food first🙌🏽
Thanks for the advice!
You have to go to Florida's east coast to get waves
I’ll check it out sometime
Yo I live 15 min. Away from Marco! Have fun!
Ayyyee!!! Thank you! 👏🏼
The fact that rn I’m exactly where you were is crazy
👀🏝️
Sameee
You should’ve went surfing after hurricane Debby
True
Literally here rn
👀
I LITERALLY JUST GOT BACK FROM THAT HOTEL TDY
Oh shooooooot 👀
Omg I’m in Marco too rn when did you post this I need to know
It’s been a few months 😅 maybe back in March
@@CjKirwan I came here for the first time in march too. that’s so cool! Thanks 🙏
Its an amzazing place, go to snook inn next its amazing
I was able to make time and go!
and you should go to dolphin tiki🔥🔥🔥
i’m in marco right now at the same beach!!
Ayyye!!!!
I’m on vacation there right now
That’s awesome
I love it there I was there with u
Oh shoot 👀
@@CjKirwan why tho
He’s in to deep of water. Go more along were the water just meets the sand
Good to know
YOOOO IM LITERALLY SITTING DOWN AT THE CONDO IM STAYING AT FROM VACATION LOOKING ST THAT STORE
Oh shoooooot 👀
That's one of my favorite stores
(It's where I got my first skim bord) and I learned to skimbord there to
Oh shooooot 👀
im literally in marco rn😂😂
Oh shoooooot
sameeee
HELP I SAW THIS WHEN I WAS AT REASTRAUNT IN MARCO
oh shooooooooot 👀
In Marco rn love it here
It’s beautiful!
You need to go to the Atlantic for waves. We get waves with hurricanes, then flooding and death
Oh nice 😅
woah in here too
woooaaaahhhhh
Im there right now and just got back from that store 😮😮😮😮
Oh shoot 👀
Definitely could have surfed those waves if you'd had a decent size foam top board
I know right?!
Mom lives on Marco am always down here you’ll rarely ever get a wave large enough to surf unless after a big storm
Guess Marco needs more storms 😂
@@CjKirwan yes definitely it’s barely even rained everything’s dry around here lol
Bro I’m literally here I got here 2 days ago
Insane
Switch the way you hold the skimbord hold it on the right side since you are goffy footed
Got it
I am in Marco Island right now❤
Ayyyyeeeee
Marco island is dope… but not for surfing 😂😂
Trueeee 😂
Bro, you did good if you had a real skim board you would’ve done amazing you’re a natural
I appreciate the feedback! Not sure if I’d do any better on a real skimboard
U would man trust me makes a world of difference
If you’re ever in NY we got you on a skim lesson. 💦🌊_🏃🏻♂️💨
I might be back in NY in early July 👀
Get an exile or a zap skimboard that is made of fiberglass
Maybe when I try it for reals
You should go to Doreen's cup of Joe for a good breakfast.I recommend it
Bet
2nd time you should make a surfing tutorial video
Once I’m back in San Diego that’s definitely gonna happen!
Wasuupp just visiting Marco for a week first day today !
That’s so exciting! I hope you have fun!!!!
Same lol
Yup no waves on Marco lol
This is true 😂
Oh wow i work across from that store
That’s crazy
Bruv i am at the same resort rn XD and got the same board!
Oh shoooot!
Pretty great
I agree
I seeing this while on trip on Marco island
Oh shoot 👀

Good idea
@@CjKirwan also pls not that it’s so humid and there’s a lot of mosquitoes so get mosquito repellent then you should be good
I LOVE ALVINS
