Could This Be The Best Wave of My Life?

  • This day almost led to the best waves I have ridden on my skimboard. The conditions were as good as they get. In many cases I was running as fast as I could in order to reach the waves that I wanted. It would be very easy to just paddle in to the waves on a surfboard but the likelihood of you being in the right spot to catch the wave is greater when you can run around on the beach.

    I have surfed and skated and did all forms of water sports including skim boarding for 5 decades. Watching you rip when you skim is the only time I wish I were young again to try and get barreled on a skim board. You are massively talented Brother. Keep shredding and I will continue to live vicariously through you.
