interesting video...

When so many are hung up on rocker (deck or bottom), outline, foil, precise position of fins, etc., it's refreshing to see another wack job doing some insane surfing on what is basically a finless slab of plywood...

Ah liked when the paths

of waveski and skim straighten-off

almost imapcted! OIly Chroips 

flat man,

real surfing til the added tow rope made

it a water-ski activity.

wow truly wacky

a great opportunity to leave the water to watch

as the saftey and cross chop of petro-powered

wake increased the danger quotient exponentially.

…ambrose…

Puerto escondido?

the wild west of surfing 

mexico where the unregulated

Gringos  will spawn a new generation

of entitled mexican me-tooists

I shudder to think of the consequences

to be placed on the shoulders of future

wave fields.Add some tequilla and 

Auwe!

WOW, that looked incredibly difficult and technical! Add some outline curve to an alaia…

Next thing you know, they’ll add some fins and start generating speed and doing carves in waves of consequence. ; )

Agreed:

It's a skimboard and the guy rips on them.  First time I've seen video of anyone tow surfing Puerto Escondido on one, that's for sure.

One more nail in the coffin. I'm a total kook....had some fun today in mushy 3-4 foot Carlsbad.....

Stingray

Really interesting one.

I put this one up a while back. The kid surfs a regular board very well also, but the sh#t he does on skim is extraordinary.

It ain't plywood, btw.

I saw footage of some skimboarders ages ago at a little left that wedged off this tiny jetty then peeled down the beach…

The guys were hitting the peak like “regular” skimboarding, setting up the bowl - tube - down the line ripping…
