I’ve been thinking this for a while now. Such a good guy. I remember seeing him around at the beach for the month I lived in Laguna just after I graduated high school and he was just a little kid, but he was always super respectful aside from ripping waves with an angelic style (that has only developed in a positive direction since he’s grown) and I fell in love with him as an athlete then. My favorite skimboarder. With the likes of Paulo in terms of being a role model, and due to this he has become one of my favorite people even though we’re not familiar in person. Go Blair! Rooting for you
I skimmed in the 80's, 90's, and early 2000's... this generation of skimmers makes me proud!! You guys would have dug the 80's and 90's!! True legends and amazing characters back in the day!! Cheers...
9 to 11s are absolutely bonkers right now. It doesn't even make sense. Crazy to think what level they're at now, and where they could be in 5 years. I used to complain about skimming against Sammy growin up but it looks way worse now for the groms who just started skimmin at like 10. That was me back then. Just shocked at the level of the early starters.
I am blown away by the skill sets of these kids......... Just got back into skimming after like 10-year break I can't believe how good these groms are tripping.....
Blair, you're an ambassador to the skimboarding sport! Love the way you talk with those kids! Keep it up, my friend! I especially love watching you and Jamie surfing and skimming together!
Skim life is the best life, love the positive vibes! Those groms can shred!! Congratulations btw! Rhode Island is gonna be firing this weekend!! See you there!?!
Wow!! I subbed to this channel like a year and a half ago when it was at 40k now its almost at half a mill. Keep up the great vids they are so entertaining and enjoyable.
BeaUTIFUL post lads, wish I was there. Austin, "cause you showed them how", peace. thanks for sharing the moment. Blair, "what happened today" YOU SHOWED UP!. Picture perfect layback perfect bro, mad respect.
20+ years! & you're still at it! Congrats Blair! (Loved seeing a little of the ole neighborhood! I left the peninsula in '69! How's that for getting old? 74!) Hope to catch tomorrow! Stay young ~
This is great and makes me smile! Love seeing these young people loving life. Thanks for sharing - and Blair my wave is avialable anytime for you - Melton Hill Surf Team likey
O cara é 2 vezes two times campeão do Mundo e mora no paraíso era era praia bah very well nice sorrymy english good movie good energy 🏄 good place good sea good waves bah Pitbull
Why ruin your content with lies? You're a great dude and you have incredible content. You don't need to use fake photos to bait us into watching your content. That makes you a liar. Just because other people do it doesn't justify it. You're a good fucking dude. You don't have to resort to this kind of thing man.
Hi bro, you are one of my surf idols, here in Brazil we have great waves and beaches, but i still not have a skimboard, its expensive here and our econnomy is bad now =(
A video thumbnail is a still image that acts as the preview image for your video. It's kind of like a book cover. And, like a book cover, it should entice a potential viewer to want to see more. I was waiting for the waves on the thumbnail because it had me drooling. No such waves in this video…. Sad day
Blair is such a legend! Love that he’s there supporting the future. Such a chill dude and a ripper on skim and surf. From what we saw on that heat, sure looked like Blair should have won that heat, but hey, sometimes it’s just not your day
Props to Skimboarders: gotta be on of the steepest learning curves for a sport, as just doing it in the flat is one thing, but once they start shredding shorebreak - then you have the Wedge scene, backdooring possible traction or death. Props to skimboarders that shred!
This guy is an extremely good role model. Period.
Thank you Michael. I was lucky enough to have some good role models when I was young and really know how important it is for the youth.

You are either protecting/helping the kids or making kids!!!
Blair is trashhh
Frankie is a Dirty J
Love how genuinely excited y’all are for the little guys… and with good reason, ‘cause they’re killin’ it!
Absolutely turning heads!

3:33 Kids are skimming like that because of you guys. Love this channel.
The fear in AK's face watching the groms warm up is priceless HAHA
Crazy how good Blair is (and great to the kids who all rip btw) daaaaaaaa GOAT!

Sears was throwing down in the air and the sea.

Nice event!! Better waves there than some WSL events this year

lucky to particapate of this kind of event really love skimmin and stoky idol blair conklin

From what we saw on that heat, sure looked like Blair should have won that heat, but hey, sometimes it’s just not your day
why does every skimboarders goes sideway after running and before get in the wave ? is it for balance or for slow down ?
Most Excellent ¿⛱

I started skimming because of Blair bought a board and splatter painted it
Wait a second.... Those are pro skater Erik Kostons kids??
First like
Good job bud
So 2018 lol
Can't wait to see you and Johnny duel it out in Dewey again next year, classic battles for the ages, blairracuda vs the spider Weber
19:43 xD
I hope this is episode 1 of 5 😀☝️🤣
Second video is coming out soon and it will be the last of our contest videos
Rippin, san diego?
A street was my go to spot as a teen.
Place gets soo good
Any recommendations, I want to buy a skim board but I don’t know anything about them? Please help!
I’m a skate boarder and skimmer and love that Erik kostons son is a skim boarder
So awesome to have Eric and his son around our sport these days
Yes
Where’s that wave you have on the cover?🤷🏽♂️
i miss skim bash
Raw beefs
Blair, you need to mint some NFTs of you skimming. It's not that hard and you would benefit ten fold if not more. Join the metaverse!
I am downloading metamask as we speak. Going to learn a bit more before I get started.
the danks
my name is Niko and I looked just like that kid when I was a kid. Scary...
I wish I had a skimboard
So does Blair advance or what?
Top two advance from each heat, sorry about the confusion there. I did end up advancing
@@SkidKids Thanks. And from the video it looked like you won that heat. Then again I am a surfer, so what do I know.
Oh thank goodness - Blair definitely deserved to advance.
This looks like the GTA beach
First
The Vic was bigger in my opinion
There were more contestants at the Oktoberfest. Vic was really well attended this year too.
