Congratulations Blair, another great video, always with a very humble posture and showing the reality of things as they are. I am 36 years old, I abandoned a professional sport of high competition and I dedicated myself to leisure Skimboard here in Portugal which is a paradise to practice. I'm already quite evolved and I learned a lot by watching your videos. Cheers
The production value of your videos is much improved from a year ago. On a scale of 1-to-10, it's definitely borderline 11 now! You're making a technical and aesthetic art form out of skimming.
So, down the steps. They used to be wooden and it was safer to shimmy down the first cliff edge at 10th St. So. Laguna. AKA 1000 steps. What a great living history of that place.
I can run just as fast, super fast. But I CANNOT commit to dropping the board at that speed and getting on. It's a mental block that I KNOW is killing my progress and overall fun factor. I also live on Lake Michigan and we don't have near the wash-up that the ocean does. Makes it hard to learn your approach and get good at it. Then again, maybe I'm just making excuses. Idk somebody set me straight or offer advice for lake shore skimming
when i was a kid in the 70 s we would body surf the slot at low tide, freight trains in front of the rock all the way 2 9th love2 c u guys catch 1 of those classic days
if you want to catch West Street in its best conditions... it's when there is about 10 feet more of sand and at a negative tide. With a steep slope you will get some of the best waves in Laguna!! Back in the day you could always find a chunk of wax stashed in the rocks!! Saw a mother whale and her calf come into the cove twice.... surrounded by dolphin!! The beaches in Laguna change over decades... we caught some of the best you could ever imagine at West Street 80's-90's... Ask Geo and Beaker!!
I appreciate that you are teaching the next generation. Fyi, don't make you beach hangout too close to the cliffs. Back in the 80's, a huge boulder dropped down. I guarantee that it is still apart of the landscape of 10th Street.
I endured 10 mins of jazz music to watch this. Dedication. Looking forward to tutorials, more skim games (with Austin keen) and would be good to see a celebrity skim series - Steve O, JOB, Skaters, snowboarders etc
My first time at the beach in Laguna... We traveled from Orange to run against Laguna HS in Cross Country. I swear most of the 2-mile course was downhill, cuz I smoked my best time (JV race). When the meet was over, we had to wait for the "C" football team to finish playing. So we ran down to the beach in our uniforms, ditched our jerseys and shoes, and dove in. What's the significance? In September of 1968, it was still just flat boarding!
It would be sick if you could add some other obstacles, maybe add a rail for board slides I've made some out of PVC pipe before in stuck them in the sand close to the shore break or in the flats. I even made one to skim board on top of my roof when it rains!
Hey Blair, I've been watching your channel for a while and I don't know how RUclips ads work but I would not minding watching ads on your videos if it meant you were getting paid more, keep up the great content
Sick content! As always :D dude, you gotta get JOB on a skim 😂 I know it’s not his thing but Timmy....he mostly skates?! It shows in his skimming 😅 crazy how they crossover like that. Skimming - the perfect blend of skating and surfing! The ultimate transitional recreation 😆 B, could roll a log a PVC piping and use it as a rail (depending how the water and sand flow around it)? Effin send it! -FaceplantDan
Dear Blair I am 14 years old and live in Switzerland (Switzerland is not exactly the best country for skimboarding) In California, to be more precise, on the laguna beach, I've already skimboarded and I love it !!!! (I'm a beginner) What should I do and I don't have a skimboard !!!!
Yo, Skid Kids, have you ever eaten food at Wahoo's Fish Tacos? Real good food and if Lucky, you'll have a great view of the beach at your table. Props for Wahoo's. They have cool stickers, too.

Blair is just living the dream! 👍🏼

Blair is amazing. He runs SO fast he doesn't have to pump like most people.
He pump

Dont forget smooth!! Its all about how he gets on!!
Blair is such a nice, positive guy.
Entertaining. Franky’s big persona a added bonus!
when i was a kid in the 70 s we would body surf the slot at low tide, freight trains in front of the rock all the way 2 9th love2 c u guys catch 1 of those classic days
thanks 4 the response u obviously know what it like 2 scream down the line right in front of that ginormous rock
Very cool video! I like learning the local history and skim lingo.
Thank you for being the most consistent skim video poster. Of course killing it and all that extra jazz.
Just got back from my first skim sesh this year to find Blair had uploaded. Today is a good day
Epic session Blair and crew love the dolphins. Timmy v Blair 2 can't wait👌👍🏄🏻♂️🏄🏻♂️🏄🏻♂️🏄🏻♂️🏄🏻♂️
These vlog style videos are getting pretty dope- digging the tunes too
Still addicted!! Great camera work!! I would love to see you work with the lil'dudes that are out there learning. Love Blair's soul.
Love how they speak of how talented the "little dogz" are, naming tricks they were empressed with and whatnot..
YAY SKID KIDS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Timmy Gamboa is a must!
Adrien Raza and Lucas Fink..
Bring the whole dream pack!
Planning to go to the beach tomorrow

Love watching you shred B... love to see you and Austin battle it out
You have such a beautiful life 😎👍👍👍
Wow earliest I’ve ever been here
Blair, attempting to get people to TP his house during a TP shortage? Smart!

All of that looks soooo freaking fun, and the water 😱

Blair loves the cameraman more than the camera. Or his is just uncomfortable looking into the camera. Either way I enjoy his demeanor:)
Love your vids keep up the good work

Whale season!? 😱 can’t wait
Gotta love those luscious locks
Skim Montage starts at 8:00
Cove skimming is the best
Wild stuff¿

That rock's name is "Chunker" He does not show up much.
Hey Blair, I've been watching your channel for a while and I don't know how RUclips ads work but I would not minding watching ads on your videos if it meant you were getting paid more, keep up the great content
Blair please can you do a video where you skim the wedge with a woodie
He needs to do that the wipeouts would be insane
@@timthekook250 yeah 🤙

We live in MA - my boys love your videos! Are you able to include some tips for beginners? They'd love it!

You should do a dedicated episode on Frankie O. He's a legend
Imagin he likes my comment❤️

Yo, Skid Kids, have you ever eaten food at Wahoo's Fish Tacos? Real good food and if Lucky, you'll have a great view of the beach at your table. Props for Wahoo's. They have cool stickers, too.
Psyched 🤙🤙🤙
How about skimming parallel to the waters edge for distance and/or fastest time from point A to point B. Just a suggestion.
Wow awesome as always guyzz ! Oh And What's the name of the first jazzy song pleaseeee 😮🙌💜
Sick
I really might drive to Cali just to see what skimming is like there
Yo that was sickkk 🤩
1:05 bargaining with us to not tp hit house lmao
any more exploring, like south?
Amazing video Blair, so stoked on your vids
But when does the website open tho ? ;)
Working hard on it! Getting close to where I want it to be! Thanks for asking
@@SkidKids Great !!
Advantage of surfing over skimboarding--no chance of sunburnt feet.
It is like the wedge
Dare: skimboard at Doheny!
double dog dare you to skid boneyard!!! 😆
If you water drop you will be fine 😂

The 'penguin' is a poser! 🤣
