Like a Skatepark for Skimboarding: Small waves are Perfect for Skate Style Tricks on a Skimboard

  • Small waves make for skatepark like conditions for skimboarding. When the waves are often times too small to surf, I tend to have a lot more fun on my skimboard. You are not relying on the power of the wave for speed like you are in surfing, when skimboarding you can generate your own speed based on how fast you are able to run. This allows you to use the small waves as ramps like you would on a skateboard. Skylar Wilson, Sam Stinnett, and Blair Conklin skim a miniature wedge in South Laguna. Summer is finally here and we look forward to the good beach days ahead. We hope this video gets you stoked to get outdoors and enjoy some sand sliding at your favorite beach!
    Edited and Filmed by Andre Magarao: This guy filmed three different angles each session. We hope some of you can appreciate that haha

    I love the fact that skimboarders are able to utilize the small coves in the SL area to ride waves and enjoy the ocean!

    I could watch this every day how Blair slides out to these big waves. Meanwhile I am able to catch waves close to the shore but to slide so far out and ride these big waves down to the shore must be an incredible feeling and I hope that I will once also manage to slide so far out.😊You are a huge inspiration and I thank you so much for these amazing clips! At the beginning I could not imagine, that this sport makes that much fun. But your clips helped me to progress pretty fast and now I am an absolute Skimboarding-addict. I do not know any other sport (including skateboarding, surfing, snowboarding etc) that is comparable with this feeling because this feeling when you slide out fast is absolutey unique. And because the board is so short it is like surfing on a skateboard-deck and I absolutely love this. So, thank you again very much for all your tutorials and these amazing clips!

    The tar is technically called asphaltum (used for asphalt) and bubbles up naturally in various spots along the cali coast. The tar-y substance had been used by the natives many moons ago to seal their boats and provide waterproofing to other items.

    The best way to remove the tar is with a lighter based oil like vegetable oil or coconut oil. Then use dawn dish soap to remove the oil.

    Blaire, the 'tar' is possibly PIB (high viscosity polyisobutylene) it's an addititve in marine lubricant oils. It's dumping at sea was banned globally in 2014 after it was found to be killing 1000s of marine birds annually just in UK waters alone. However, it still seems to be getting into the sea either by accident or illegal discharging , nasty stuff and a pain to get off.

      oh mate i just repaired mine. Is it on the bottom? I was doing a bit of sand skimming and some pieces of epoxy resin chipped off. Just go on ebay, and search epoxy/polyester resin (depending on which type of resin your board is made of). And once you get it, you can just pour little bits in the cracks, let it dry and then sand it out :) hmu on instagram @lochlainndw if you have questions
