Okay, this is Bill Bryan on the shores of Aliso Beach in Laguna owning his title as the best skimboarder to ever live. Filmed by Pat Watson, Bomb Squad style.
I think to skimboard in deep water, you've gotta get the skimboard up to speed so that it "skims" over the water real good to ride those waves. Run real fast, then skim, and ride some good waves, that'd be my guess.
(bill comes home feeling down) Bill: honey im home Wife: how were the waves Bill: Alright. i only caught like 60 or 70 today so i think things went ya know ookkk BRO LIFE OF BILL BRYAN
@nidkk agreed i used to have a foamie and couldn't figure out why i couldn't make it to the further out waves. I got a ultra a month later and improved alot
Skimboarding is on shallower water, and a skimboard is significantly smaller and has no fins. Surfing is usually in huge waves, and you swim/paddle out, instead of running and hopping onto your board.
@billybobpie i'll bet he has a few but that one is probably a poly from victoria. im suprised he isn't using his pro model tho. unless he got it custom painted
Ok this has nothing to do with this video but has anyone seen the skimboarding movie "Sterno"? If so i am trying to find the name of the song for bill byrans helmet camera section. it is chapter 9 in the movie, and the credits do not say the name of this song. HELP PLEASE
This is crazy I feel like God is trying to talk to me great clip bill. I thank god for blessing you with such talent if it's because of you I skim and can't wait till I'm good enough to teach others.
Damn!! well im now on the west Coast and I need some one to train me to be a legend. Im not your average skim boarder lol im a big 225+ black dude with a skim board who's up for the challenge. and why in the hell is this water so damn cold LOL!!
we don't surf much here in my country :l and i've never heard of skimboarding until i found a vid on youtube and to me skim boarding and surfing look the same so i wanted to know the difference cuz i don't even kno anything about surfing mkay? i asked a simple question and if u didnt have an answer u didnt have to reply
@superskim1 well u get more points for going switch because its harder so they score more points. So what he surfs goofy he can go both ways on a skimboard so you think he should get awarded the same amount of points as someone skimming primarily one stance when hes doing both? And if they are better than him then why arent they skimming switch as well so they can get "all their points"
@superskim1 u said before that he SURFS goofy so when he goes goofy on a skimboard it isnt switch now ur saying he SURFS switch get ur facts straight buddy haha this was so long ago
reply to lametallica15- many people have different opinions about them so it's hard to answer. I personally reccomend them.....they help you stay on better than wax...again tht's just my opinion lol
Skimboarding= You start on the beach run and get on it Facing the waves then turn and ride the wave (high tide only) OR you just rida across the sand no waves(Flatland Skimboarding) Surfing= You start IN the water, paddle facing the shore, take the wave, stand up and ride it :) (mostly low and medium tide)

either a zap or victoria top of the line expensive fiber glass one, with an arc grip and a stomp pad
0:28 so sick
sick conditions
Cool video! What's the name of song?
Skimboarding is on shallower water, and a skimboard is significantly smaller and has no fins.
Surfing is usually in huge waves, and you swim/paddle out, instead of running and hopping onto your board.
this song is just what i want to hear when watching skimming.
@billybobpie
i'll bet he has a few but that one is probably a poly from victoria. im suprised he isn't using his pro model tho. unless he got it custom painted
the music is i'll be around-the spinners
No it's not. That was the original, but this is a Christian spin on that.
they turn it sideways to speed up, less surface area touching the water=less drag
1:36 i thought it was a shark lol
this video epitomizes the perfect day of skimboarding.
he can ride both goofy and regular footed!!
2:52 - thumbs up if you can see a flying fish :DD
Great Song! 5stars! I thought about getting a skimboard. Do I need sexwax for the top of it like a surf board for grip?
@MorrisMagicHoops i'll be around-the spinners
those are perfect waves for skimmin!
Ok this has nothing to do with this video but has anyone seen the skimboarding movie "Sterno"? If so i am trying to find the name of the song for bill byrans helmet camera section. it is chapter 9 in the movie, and the credits do not say the name of this song. HELP PLEASE

Damn!! well im now on the west Coast and I need some one to train me to be a legend. Im not your average skim boarder lol im a big 225+ black dude with a skim board who's up for the challenge. and why in the hell is this water so damn cold LOL!!
anyone know the name of that song?
name of song???
O melhor vídeo de skim que ja vi, parabéns.
i do.
@superskim1 yeah now maybe because he's like 40+ years old. but in his prime no one even came close to him
@Swagger035 ok, but can you explain how that works. it seems like it would slow them down

@Swagger035 ok thanks
how does this guy skim so far out
@Swagger035 its called a side slip, its actually not to hard
@erickpuppin i'll be around-the spinners
we don't surf much here in my country :l and i've never heard of skimboarding until i found a vid on youtube and to me skim boarding and surfing look the same so i wanted to know the difference cuz i don't even kno anything about surfing mkay? i asked a simple question and if u didnt have an answer u didnt have to reply
so...since when is this physically possible?
why do they turn their board side ways going ou to a wave. to slow down?
@Dank1808 you sure about that xD
a local surf and skate shop
@superskim1 well u get more points for going switch because its harder so they score more points. So what he surfs goofy he can go both ways on a skimboard so you think he should get awarded the same amount of points as someone skimming primarily one stance when hes doing both? And if they are better than him then why arent they skimming switch as well so they can get "all their points"
ok, so i can skim, but idk how to pump on it, i can catch a wave if i get close but i want to far out in the water, not 10 feet lol. can anyone help?
@Mzahaka1313 i'll be around-the spinners
were is that place because i am in new zealand
whats the diff between skimboarding and surfing can some1 plz answer o.o
@MrSimon51 its because he SURFS switch it doesnt make a big difference shooob
what kind of board does he ride
were is this
k grom, whats the ust standings?
what board is that??
@amrijys94 i'll be around-the spinners
what song is this?
no foam boards will snap in waves like that. you need a polyvac or carbon fiber. foamies are not good
whats the music at the vid. ?
@8lelex8 the name of the move is the same as the song... super funk'n gay side slippy
how tall is he?
@superskim1 u said before that he SURFS goofy so when he goes goofy on a skimboard it isnt switch now ur saying he SURFS switch get ur facts straight buddy haha this was so long ago
1:46
whats the song?
It hasn't started for this year brah but Sam Stinnent won last year if thats what u wanted
@joaomiguelrod ok thanks
I thought i was a good skimboarder, then i saw this video...
what is the name of the board he is using?
Grape skimboard
gotta love this porno music
Four dislikes?!? Really. I guess it doesn't look like much fun from your mom's basement.
@Swagger035 Oh, okay good. I was wondering how he riched the wave so good. Now I know that he puts his board side way, to actually go faster.
@deathbyhate. what do you mean shifty on a wave? pop shuvits are easy. i go to myrtle beach and it is impossible to catch a wave there.
@spiderpig495 but better than anyother brand
2:50 epic spray
is he ambidextrous?
@superskim1 can't back up ur statement.... whos the shoob now.
@emilymackinnon10 Now i know that comment is 1 year old dude
reply to lametallica15- many people have different opinions about them so it's hard to answer. I personally reccomend them.....they help you stay on better than wax...again tht's just my opinion lol
@8lelex8 beaker wrap
that shuvit up the wave at :30 is just gross
Either Bryan is that good or some of these clips are flipped because he skims in both stances.
hes just that good
thumbs up if blah, blah, blah, thumbs up!!
is that sam stinnett at 1:12
@MrSimon51 point is beaker isn't the best in the world.
Ummm porn at the end?
haha
@sony561 how is it porno music, its about jesus lol
@s1ntax whats wrong with that? freak
Beak in his prime...
green board era and right before this was red board era. he was simply lethal. everywhere he went. east coast contests to wedge. untouchable.
2:48-2:54!!!!!!!!!!!!
