Professionals Attempt to Ride Wooden Skimboard at The Wedge 

Note to the cameraman. The best waves that have ever been ridden are the ones NO ONE believes you’re gonna make. 🙏🏽

I built my first skimboard out of my Dad's plywood scrap. It was a bit concave and warped. Cut it with a jigsaw and shaped the edges with a rasp....painted with an 80s black and white checkerboard. It skimmed in Kauai and freezing NorCal beaches. Most radical moves: actually getting a carve on a wave, and launching a body flip into too shallow water.

Fun fact: my dad almost died when he was 5 years old at The Wedge. Then over 50 years later I almost died at the age of 24 at The Wedge. Then my dad actually died eating a wedge of cheese at the age of 68. Life's weird

I had the exact same feeling when I first went to Wedge, I did not expect this wave to be where it is at!

I had to look up European Flatland Skimboarding because I never heard of it. It looks pretty cool. It would be a tough sport to start in the US, because we don't have many of those huge flat beaches like in Europe.

Adrian runs fast. He totally sends it

Good and Groovy

Clearly the street and the ocean are different animals. Be interesting to see how Blair would do in one of those street contests for comparison.

This kid is alright. So he hasn't really surfed before? This will be interesting to watch. I say start winching him tomorrow and see if he can catch something like that. Then, put him on a regular surfboard to help him understand the waves a little bit. Definitely wanna see his progression. I have never seen any of Adrien's clips, so gonna have to check them out. Excellent work coming out of Skid Kids Production studio, Laguna Beach, CA. Sounds official

OVER THE FALLS AT THE WEDGE! Not huge wedge but i'll bet it seemed like FOREVER..

And world champ makes it look like butter

Blair、カッコよすぎ。憧れます。

@04:48 Mate!

14:50 lmao

dude in the back seat... 👻

the son?? Thats a boy? wow.. im getting senile or something..

Someone tell Ben Gravy who's wearing his wetsuit!

Leave it to a professional.

I'll be back and get one! Pleasure learning from the best :)

Can’t wait to see him get barreled. He’s got it. Crazy I grew up watching him skim and used to comment on his videos calling gm out on tricks 😂 gotta love the RU-vid skim community

Fantastic! The two best in their respective disciplines skimming together. I’m really hoping this means we’ll get a “Blair & Adrien skim Europe’s urban jungle” vid at some point 😉

never have i ever (im nearly 49 yrs too btw) seen anyone, in any sport or other physical activity, be so in control of literally EVERYTHING, *so completely in the zone,* with every millimeter of the water, with the slightest sign of wave, the wind, his body, the board, the ground, *_so in the flow_* - it's *other-worldly...* Truly a *'master' of his craft!* ← ↑ Comment for algorithm + 👍 'd #OldManPaxus Rating: ☆☆☆☆

Great session Blair you make it look effortless, Adrian did well.

Blair always seems easy to ride the waves here. But I found it very difficult. Skimming here is the dream of an old Japanese skimmer.

Most Excellent ¿

Sweet collab. Fun to see the skim family rally around Raza. ✨✨✨

Sick bru

Great to see these 2 legends together 🤩

Blair's so wholesome, cool to see him coaching someone

I'm so stoke!! Let's shredd

There’s Blair and then there’s everyone else

always wanted to see him charge some shorebreak !! his entry is so clean but his surfing is bad which makes perfect sense lol sport is not easy at all the pros just make it look easy. He did better than id do

That run at 14.10 Blair had got me stoked. I went to slap a board that wasn't there. I wish we had this on the golf.

I like the way Blair put this one together, the stylish music grooves only while Blair is shredding the Wedge into submission!

Great to see a flatlander to try waves, excellent video. Blair flying as always. It's hard yeah but Adrien was impressive, in not long he will fly too. I skimboard in Argentina, not many people know it here. Wooden skimboard flatland always, but recently I started to try waves too, but it's difficult to find a beach with nice shore waves.

Where's JOB?😜🏄 Blair OWNS The Wedge! Awesome 👍😎 video... thanks 👍 9:57-10:12 blew my mind!

watch all your vids!! great edit on this one!!! You guys, Jamie O'Brian and Ben Gravy----- WAVE MASTERS and the three vlogs just capture the thrill of wave riding!! All the Best!

Was really fun to watch. tried the wedge once a while ago and it is as hard as this looked.

Do more videos on skimming bodybourds.

Back in the day professional skimboards came from one place - Laguna canyon on the 133..... everybody rode wooden skimboards that was your only choice. That and the only real fins to have at The Wedge were not Churchills but a pair of black Viper fins with the yellow dot meant you knew what was good gear. That was way back when Danny Kwock was one of the first surfers I ever watched paddle out at The Wedge and the OG local still wore a pair of Speedos.

General random question... The sideways twist thing... Is it careful speed control or style points?

Underwater Go Pro the rock reefs of 10th. St. So Laguna. It was much better, before you were a twinkle in your parent's eyes.

No excuses every time you miss a shot you have the same excuse let it go or it will happen over and over you’ve missed a lot of great shots always keep the camera rolling austin shot last video And take it more serious and get better angles you’ve got the equipment you don’t need to hang out with the crew every shot I did this forever I’m just trying to teach you if you want to learn the lessons that’s your choice if not you will continue in the same direction your a beautiful human believe in yourself focus on the riders

Victoria ... in and outs ... kick boards and churchhills ... triple scoop at Thrifty is what we'd bet for ... when the big heart swells push ... 3' of coarse sand in the ol shorts and no broken neck ... those were the days!

Awesome video bro... shotout from brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

sick

I love renting bikes and going to the wedge with my family! I wish I could get one of my wood boards out that far to catch a wave, but I’ll save up for a fiberglass board. The other thing is that I live in Utah so I could only use it every so often. Blair is probably one of the most chill, nice RU-vidrs I am subscribed to. Thanks for the content!

The blondes

bruh blair is insane, dudes whipping turns so quick i csnt even process😂

Why does he call himself a “pro street skimboarder”.?

I dreamt of this colab for my whole life!

Hey I have a question. Im new to skimboarding and I bought a cheap wooden one with like no traction. What kind of grip would yall recommend I should get for a wood board?

Lived in NE for a little over a year- Stroopwafflen are no joke

I thought all skimboards r made of wood...🤔

Always a treat to watch Blair? Rippen those waves.

I have a buddy that broke both of his legs over the falls at the wedge

How does one get started on this sport? What board should I look at for an entry point beginner? Anyone do this at Martha’s Vinyard, MA?

Yo Blair can you give the specs on what board you ride? Saving up for a top of the line skimboard and your board looks like the perfect setup

hey blair what brand of skimboard do you use

"I went over the fall" Some funny shit thank god he didn't break his neck on that over the "fall" LOL

The micro-twitch-pumps are key

Wao

Blair is a super hero. He has supernatural powers to levitate , his skimboard is unsinkable. He has the shorebreak wired, where the wave meets the sand.

Best line of the day, " you might wanna call it quits on that one" , hahaha, the kid rocks , good for you Blair ,,,,,,,

Here’s a clip from the pennywise show! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k3t9K_gsxE8.html

The way Blair carries speed is goddamn art. So much fun to watch.

Blair catches air with that hair its rare to sea flipper in the raw he out runs anyone and flys across the surface like magic

yooo 14min 29secs! 🔥🔥🔥

Is a wave zone Board a good baord to use

Pennywise? He looks more like Circle Jerks era.

🤙

Hey Blair what board do you ride

Its wild how established Blair is as the best in the business. He's like the tiger woods of the sport.

I was supposed to be at the Pennywise show, shit was wack when work called.

1970 tried it a dude broke his neck so that counted me out the lineup

But i like surf board

❤❤😮

14:30 was killer setup

do a front flup on a wave

Pennywise Dude!

Duuude! Amazing unexpected video Stoked to see adrian and to hear the whisper about the berrics 🦶🦶🦶

To small wave

Stroopwaffles🤙

Impressive that Adrien made one sider! No hard feelings about the comments about the Netherlands, we're happy with the waves we do get ;)

Blair is just one of those doing what he was born to do.

The timing with the music at 12:50 … chefs kiss

This is so awesome. Been following adrien for so long! So cool to see him on some waves. I thought he did wonderful. Much love from NorCal ❤️🙏
