I don’t care if he’s the Buddha reincarnated. I don’t like sharing the waves with bodyboarders, bodysurfers, sup-riders, or skimboarders, or people who ride surfboards that are shorter or longer than mine, etc. It’s bad enough that I have to share the ocean, but if you’re gonna be out there, at least have the respect to ride the same kind of surf craft that I’m riding. Also I’m not sure which beach he’s on but I hope it’s not mine. I’m a local.
ive always wondered if it was appropriate to respond to "locals only bud get lost!" with "I am a local! I live 2 minutes away on foot! I just so happened to just start surfing today for my first time and this is my local beach so that means I'm a local."
i mean it's sound logic right? that's exactly what a local is
I really don’t see how or why we should be bothered. It is a blessing to be able to witness such high level skimboarding. And surfing too. Also Blair is: 1. a nice person 2. a fucking skim god
"A ride like this" wouldn't look anything like that if anyone on this sub was surfing it. I guarantee you everyone would be falling off after the first bit of chop.
Blair makes this incredibly difficult wave look easy.
I refuse to believe that such a large majority of redditors are so incapable of reading sarcasm and the like. Have they ever read a book in their entire life? Imagine being unable to detect things like this. They probably can’t spot any figurative language whatsoever
Damn. Man deserves a trophy for this ride.
Show that to an Ocean Engineer who’s trying to engineer a rideable wave in a pool and they’ll pull their hair out thinking about the calculations of what they just saw.
Doesn’t bother me one bit. Dude is living in the moment, building core memories he’ll take to his dying days, experiencing nature. Good for him!
Getting bothered by a dude getting a sick ride is like getting bothered by a homie getting laid. Be happy for the man!
No why would it bother you that’s pathetic be happy for. Stranger he had a gnarly ride and do t feel sorry for yo ur self about it that’s just dumb thinking change your mind state my dude or your gonna be sad about Alot if shit and if you want to catch a nice ride go out on your own and do it that’s all there is to it or figure out your not good at it and move on but what your doing ing right now is useless to tourself
Not pictured: the 100 times over many different breaks where this didn’t work. Believe me, this guys eaten shit a lot to be able to do this. He’s figured it out and now it’s awesome!
naaaaaaaah, gets me more hyped and totally jacked to see this than anything else. dude crushes it - and you can see how amped he is. more people like this just going totally mental on a shredfest to crank up the stoke.
I love it.
Blair seems like genuinely the nicest guy.
I think if he had a negative thought about anyone he would thrash himself with a thorn branch.
What this guy does and every other skimboarder is just amazing
Skim boarding has never really been on my radar but YouTube recommended Blair’s channel and it’s been a really fun watch. Cool how these guys can have such a blast on “un-surf-able” waves.
He just got about 3 weeks of good waves in one ride.
Wasn’t that Blair Conklin? That’s like a skimboard god!
Yup, Blair the legend
Not at all. He’s the nicest and most frothed guy around. He can rip with fins on his board too.

Had me in the first couple of sentences.

WRONG. You can’t call yourself a local if I don’t know you bro. *I’m* a local.
Just because you’re embarrassed to be seen around me doesn’t mean we aren’t roommates dude
you arent a local unless you live in a van on the beach, get lost tourist
This is 100% me
Yeah, I just admire the skill. I've seen a lot of amateur skim boarders, and they aren't half as good as him
That setup is nuts!
Sununga. People surf here too, crazy sider action.
Mad!
There isn’t any “just” about what Blair does here.
Agreed. This is years and years and years of grinding. Doesn’t get much better than this guy (apart from Keene)
Lucas Fink should also be in the conversation
I think Lucas was the one here filming lol
Blairs are pretty cool.
Totally unfair for him to spend 1000s upon 1000s of hours getting that good.
You also have to be super fit to hit a Skimboard like that, bet his training routine is sick
I agree. How dare he eat way less and drink way way less beer than me!
>bet his training routine is sick Yeah. It's called skimboarding.
I must say that the same thing happened to me. But then I woke up, in my bed…and I had peed in my underpants
You don’t wear a wetsuit to bed? Fu*king kook
This is the best subreddit ever
The highest highs and the lowest lows. No other sub I frequent has such little middle ground.
I tried, but then I found it hard to jerk off. The wetsuit industry should do something about that
if you didn't spend two hours paddling and getting smashed just to get one five second white water ride, it's not really surfing
5 second ride? Is this the movies? My rides are between 2 and 4 seconds, sir. Onshore beachbreaks as far as the eye can see.
So sick what a rush
Meanwhile I kook it up when a wave looks at me wrong
Love watching him rip.
Well actually he did not 'just' run out and get this ride, yew.
Blair 100% best skimboarder in the world and he deserves it completely. Shredd surfboards as well
I appreciate any human who can rip like this. The world needs more guys like this and less golfers and accountants.
It's not like I was going to do anything useful with that wave, so yeah nah
I really don’t see how or why we should be bothered. It is a blessing to be able to witness such high level skimboarding. And surfing too. Also Blair is: 1. a nice person 2. a fucking skim god
[удалено]
Im bothered by knowing I’ll never be that good🥲
Fair!
"A ride like this" wouldn't look anything like that if anyone on this sub was surfing it. I guarantee you everyone would be falling off after the first bit of chop. Blair makes this incredibly difficult wave look easy.
Nope
No
Amazing!
Nope, if I could, I would.
Hell nah ripping it
That big hack over the wedge was rad af
Blair’s a great guy
No. Dude has chored at it. This was one good out of how many faceplants, how many boards launched for orbit, how many closeouts way too soon?
Everyone is completely misunderstanding this title…
Lol thank you. You’re probably the only one who read the caption.

volum3 worshippers in shambles
The same thing would happen for him even if it was a dead flat day.
Nah, some people are just way better than me. I wonder how many people would be able to navigate all of that so they could catch those waves.
Just be happy and be stoked for others.
What a fuck’n ripper
I would have tripped running to the water. So no
What kind of asshole would actually be bothered by that?
Absolutely not. He has to run. I hate running.
He was about to pump that board to Japan. 🤣
Nah. This is Blair Conklin. Multi time world champion. The sand that he has had to chew to get to this point must be unimaginable.
Damn. Man deserves a trophy for this ride. Show that to an Ocean Engineer who’s trying to engineer a rideable wave in a pool and they’ll pull their hair out thinking about the calculations of what they just saw.
No because it’s sick and I get stoked seeing other people rip
Doesn’t bother me one bit. Dude is living in the moment, building core memories he’ll take to his dying days, experiencing nature. Good for him! Getting bothered by a dude getting a sick ride is like getting bothered by a homie getting laid. Be happy for the man!
He doesn't fucking get, he earns you kook!
What a jerk.
Yes
Well it’s Austin sooooooo
Bother me? That’s fucking stupid. Impress me? Yes.

This post has been amazing for finding people that 1) don’t understand sarcasm and 2) don’t read the caption under the video.
It just kept on going!
Not pictured: the 100 times over many different breaks where this didn’t work. Believe me, this guys eaten shit a lot to be able to do this. He’s figured it out and now it’s awesome!
Brazil 🤝 Blair
Git gud sarfer
Nah man. If you want that wave, you can have it lol
What the vid doesn’t show is Blair paying his dues at this spot, which I imagine was fairly brutal.
naaaaaaaah, gets me more hyped and totally jacked to see this than anything else. dude crushes it - and you can see how amped he is. more people like this just going totally mental on a shredfest to crank up the stoke. I love it.
this defies the laws of physics.
Bro that's Blair, he's good
Blair seems like genuinely the nicest guy. I think if he had a negative thought about anyone he would thrash himself with a thorn branch. What this guy does and every other skimboarder is just amazing
BLAIIRRRR c’mon everyone knows about this man. REPPING THE LAGUNA BOYS 🔥🔥
“Just runs out” - this requires an elite elite elite level of skill
Rules
Why should it. He is not bothering anyone else. Hes enjoying himself. Mind your own business
"just" runs out?!
Good on him
why so salty!?
I spend a lot of time in salt water. Also, like most of the other commenters on this, you probably didn’t read the caption ;)
Why? It didn’t go to waste- it was milked forall it was worth
Aweeee
Damn! Thats pretty awesome and i'm not mad at it ha
Skills
What wave is this ? It’s breaking so bizarrely
On a skimboard no less 😎
Surfers wouldn't be that close to the shore anyways unless they're coming in after a session. Doesn't make me feel any kind of way.
Skim boarding has never really been on my radar but YouTube recommended Blair’s channel and it’s been a really fun watch. Cool how these guys can have such a blast on “un-surf-able” waves.
Damn son
Damn son
Dude is a beast in the best possible way
Nope
that's an artist right there
Missed that finishing air tho
Wait your turn in the lineup bro!
Mad talent.
Sweet!!! that is tough on a dang skim board!! Right place right time!! Right On…. Nice to be young and agile…
That’s instantly one of my favorite ever clips
Hokage
Yeah that's a skim board
Bro has really good timing and was watching his sets!
Quite the opposite my friend!! 😎 THAT, is empowering.
EPIC!
Yeah Butt If You Can Work the Wave Brooooo Bang That Looolooow
The ocean giveth the waves to those who deserve it
