Skimboard Tow In's At Aliso - Exile Skimboards

[ThrashTilGrave]

awesome..sick boarder

[SDtakeover]

just surf?

[jerseyflows]

get a surfboard kook

[mbuchanan117]

@jerseyflows nobody on here gets how hard it is too ride a 16 foot wave without fins, pure rails. thats paulo prietto and he is no kook and im sure he is a better surfer than anyone commenting on here. any skimboarder skims cause they have a passion for it and its fun.

[SkimboarderKris]

0:54 "SHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT!"

[TheodoreJudah]

I'd like to see just how a skimboarder gets up while being towed. That seems like it would be difficult.

[Jbirtwisle]

dunno why but seeing him sliding out the picture at 0:54 made me laugh

[LeroyRifkin]

omg that was the biggest fail at 0:43

[jazzysnaps]

Skim board !!! tow in ?

[IEsorry]

Love! the dexter theme!!!!

[floridaca24]

is this in laguna beach

[WesPez]

why don't you just use a surfboard?

[sickboarding9]

could anyone else feel that feeling at 1:09 where the wave picks you up and pulls your legs back down

[KealeTV]

what the hell. like 20 tow ins and only on barrel?

[ricardoroelvink]

the place to not be: in the wave.... it realy hurts you

[volcano191]

how does he not loose his board?



[F8thfull1]

that is awesome!!!

[PeadophileBeard]

Is there a video of a skimboarder getting tubed? Seeing a surfer get tubed is awesome but a skimboarder now that would be sick.

[ExileSkimboards]

@PeadophileBeard of course. check out some of our other videos. maybe the mainland mexico one... the best stuff tends to be on DVDs but there are some barrels in there...

[PeadophileBeard]

@ExileSkimboards That mexico vid is pretty sick. How long does it take from learner to actually hitting them waves doing those turns and airs?

[JustinR19]

@PeadophileBeard Years.

[loganisthanicertwin]

that dude can set a LINE with that skimboard

[flydogg88]

Dexter theme music FTW!

[HiMyNameIsAlf]

why don't you guys upload more vids, this is why some people like body boarding better

[TheMakinChilli]

0:52 hahahaha

[Adilson20107]

da hora!!

[walikama]

dexter song haha !!

[facewave64]

0:41 fail



[MrTmac459]

[reiderdecker]

Dexter theme song seems a little out of place

[HBschultz]

sweet!



[Cutsman562]

broooo this is so sick!!! skim boarding FTW!

[Monkeykingg64]

haha whats up with the dexter theme song ??

[forrestamar]

nnnnnnnnn

[lumloop]

fuck that shit takes skill

[mrsurfer98]

6 people cant skimboard :)



[supertaj1800]

I love duck diving with a skim board. too easy

[manitsmatt]

sickkk



[codyt9x]

So are skimboarders less likely to get attacked by sharks?

[pizadawg]

fuck man, ive only ever known skimboarding as in running from the sand skimming up wave, wow this takes it to a whole new level im impressed keep it up ;D

[flrockbandfreak]

how do u ride the wave? ive been skimming for 3yrs and still cant ride a wave but i really want to.. anyone??

[FrontyardFlatground]

Dexter theme song!!!!

[Goodmorninged]

lol you know how much wax he is using

[elstado1]

wouldnt a bodyboard be more fun to get airs on these waves?

[ExileSkimboards]

@elstado1 haha... no.

[curtflirt]

@ExileSkimboards well skimboarding is at the bottom of the food chain even below bodyboarding

[Chaser350Z]

@ExileSkimboards lolz

[javagnano1]

@elstado1 lol nah, skim boarding is too much fun airing out on. I wouldn't know much about these size waves since I don't have someone to tow me out in jersey but airing out on a skim board with the shore breaks here are already crazy so with those size waves, I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

[elstado1]

@javagnano1 cool. im not trying to diss this video as these guys are getting sick waves and it looks hell smooth and nice. but if anyone has seen some of the massive airs bodyboarders get when being towed out into shorebreak waves you will understand my earlier comment.

[MegaGreendayfan101]

@elstado1 remember, bodyboarding is the original defenition of gay

[elstado1]

@MegaGreendayfan101 is you say so "MegaGreendayfan101"... you do speak volumes, judging by your handle.

[tghooker]

very innovative

[ayyPEPSI]

that was pretty sick

[FCValle]

thats not skimboarding.Thats surfing with a skimboard.

[LynchyVidz]

wtf dexter theme

[Ddogkiller100]

not to offense that guy who skimboard, he awesome and everything but i just don't get it what is the point of skimboarding on that kind of wave while you could go surfing, it would be much easy to get your board back and less chance of not lossing your board.

[Playmo1296]

@Ddogkiller100 I think they do this with a skimboard because they know how to land tricks

[ExileSkimboards]

@Ddogkiller100 we towed in some surfers this day too... surfboards have way more drag and hence had to be towed in later, resulting in a much shorter ride. Where paulo is able to carve the swell as its building, the surfers would have to pump as much as possible to keep going, and often they couldnt... for this day, skimboard was the better way to ride the wave. additionally, we have skimboards with leashes on them. no need on this day though as this was essentially big shorebreak.

[981johnjohn]

@ExileSkimboards how would a surfboard be worse it is bigger and more buoyant so that would make up for the drag and probably be better than a skim board

[ExileSkimboards]

@981johnjohn surfboards are narrower, have skegs and much more rocker. Thickness and buoyancy only help at low speeds. skimboards have a big flat spot and plane way better. I reckon anyone who thinks a std thruster planes further than a skimboard has never ridden a skimboard....

[randomfilms808]

@Ddogkiller100 dude your board would buckle/break right in half if you were on a short board, on the other hand skimboards can take that beating no problem (im a surfer haha)

[Ddogkiller100]

@randomfilms808 i'm a surfer too, even though the biggest wave i have caught is around 6 feet but i'm pretty sure surfboard is much thicker than skimboard. that is probably why garret mcnamara ride a 90 foot wave with a surfboard not a skimboard.

[SKAuthenticDank]

are those woodies?

[truewinna32]

whats the right way to drop a skimboard?

[naomikitai]

@truewinna32 Throw it down hard.Dont let it "float" down.some day it will be 2nd nature,but right now,thats a great thing to focus on.

[burnzy10]

u should have pulled in to some of those barrels!!!

[AMPup47]

i know this is such a dumb ass question to you guys but... is it easy to lose your board when you guys take those waves? :-x i just don't know much about this or surfing, that's why i ask

[ExileSkimboards]

@AMPup47 If you fall you definitely lose your board if you dont have a leash. But you can just swim in and get it. Or we have some boards with leashes. Surfboards are usually ridden with leashes.

[AMPup47]

@ExileSkimboards ok thankx you!

[bignachos20]

what type of wetsuit is that yellow one

[101796bg]

0:40 for a second he turns around and is like "OH SHIT"

[TwistaX1]

I have a question ! I'm buying a new fiberglass skimboard and i was told that it's so light it would blow away in the wind? D: is this true? PLEASE GET BACK TO ME

[boarder551]

looks hella fun

[mynameisian91]

Where is this?



[SkimOnlineMedia]

@mynameisian91 Aliso Beach, Laguna Beach CA

[hbsurfer2]

thumbs up for Dexter theme song!

[MsBeachbumxD]

i like!! ;)

[MrWasurfer86]

do you guys use a special type of skimboard for towing?

[ExileSkimboards]

@MrWasurfer86 not usually but we do have a couple of tweaked boards for the right conditions...  leash plugs are also important...

[gburylax22]

that was awesome! how did u guys do that?

[redsnag15]

that looks like to much fun man most amazing idea

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

wow look at the color of that water

[TheSponger4life]

ware are the spongers?

[ExileSkimboards]

@TheSponger4life At school learning how to spell at a second grade level?

[TheSponger4life]

@ExileSkimboards I'm sorry, i transferred all my skills in to being awesome :D (spell check messed me up, and my spelling is in need of a little touch up:)

[ExileSkimboards]

@TheSponger4life glad to see the sense of humor is still intact :)

[TheSponger4life]

@ExileSkimboards laughing at myself is what keeps me alive :D

[angrytitties]

he should really be pulling into those barrels.  It would make it 10x more epic

[ExileSkimboards]

@angrytitties there is really only one barrel he doesnt pull into (@ 1:04) and its a big closeout. The rest seem to be crumbling in my eyes. Most of the time crumbling at him. If anything he should have gone for some off the lip floater/air shizzle...

[srburnsey]

Did anyone else notice the Dexter theme?

[damon79]

This defies the whole purpose of skimming. Why is every retarded towing nowadays? Ride a surfboard you kook.

[scorescore23]

this guy probably shreds on a surfboard



[Crazylocopr1]

Is Paulo Prietto your most experienced rider?

[ExileSkimboards]

@Crazylocopr1 Him or George Bryan probably... depends one what you mean by "experienced" I guess...

[XxRosskopfxX]

paulo is a boss.

[sk8nchill53]

for some reason this music makes me want to kill bad guys and cut them up into pieces..... idk why.

[CMSKIM21]

@cpurcellskate - why cant you spell?

[CheeseBon]

music matches the video PERFECTLY!

[CheckThisSaw]

Esta cancion sale en malviviendo

[TheOREguy]

Holy barrel dodging!!

[Zaper692]

[AusLTVcrew]

DEXTER <3

[SweatyMess]

[eatsleepbike]

[elijahkali1]

why dont you guys get shacked

[MrBrunete]

booooooooooooooriiingggg

[bmxr3456]

i can't get over how clean and smooth this waves are.

[JSrideproductions]

The dexter theme song really brings it all together

[luizaosenzala]

Caraca muito bom o video !!! Só morras !!! Os caras mandando super bem !!! Congratulations !!!

[MrDonster2009]

dude your hand is like having seizures........you need to have it checked out! you would look so much better if you learned to control your arms.....use your legs more....it will quiet the upper body.

[ToadLicker10]

I dont get how u first get on a skimboard when its being towed out there, or dou start on the shore

[ExileSkimboards]

@ToadLicker10 just stand on it like on a wakeboard.

[senhordasempadas]

could he get his board again after he bailed?

[ExileSkimboards]

@senhordasempadas We have a board with a leash on it but it makes it hard to do tricks. Off hand I can't recall if he was using that board this day.

[specitender]

Awesome. Nice to see that last wave where he pulls in and gets anhilated.

[andreisidro]

wow! Skimboarding like that is like a mix between surfing and skating! Awsome!

[BLooDYxVids]

Dexter anyone?

[BNomo1]

@BLooDYxVids hahahaha i knew i heard the song on here from the dexter theme song!

[cpurcellskate]

y doesnt he just surf

[ExileSkimboards]

@cpurcellskate Because skimboarding is rad?

[milseyproductions]

what kind of board is that?

[ExileSkimboards]

@milseyproductions Paulo is riding a size sm pro shape carbon fiber in this video. He also has his own pro model!

[BNomo1]

ok, everyone keeps hating on these guys saying "just buy a surfboard"...he seems to be doing just fine on a skim board so why waste the money?

[rashb]

Holy shit, you can surf with a skimboard? The speed looks crazy. I always wanted a surfboard as responsive as a skimboard.

[jordyboy056]

that's just crazy 0.o

[mesmoni101]

i like the part where he rides the big waves on a skimboard ;B haha WEST SIDE BLOODZ MAUI NO KA OI SUWOOP!!!!!!

[ChristianLanley]

D E X T E R

[bkcw88]

why bother

[Steino1912]

@bkcw88 why bother commenting?

[bkcw88]

@Steino1912

same reason as you buddy

[Steino1912]

@bkcw88 just read ExileSkimboards response as to why they don't surf up top there ^^. it actually makes a lot of sense

[xXskaterchipXx]

Crazy video that's my home beach too.

[skimdeleware]

ha, it's so sick how paulo side slips away from the wave, couldn't do that on a surfboard.

[williamn9ne]

maybe one of the best videos ever

[wybot360]

Barrel dodger!!

[2DOUBLEX]

THEME SONG FOR DEXTER! I Love that show!

[saintmen55]

yah and surfboards break ealier on bug ass waves like these if u were to fall

[danwelsh044]

hahah 0:55

[skweekyclean]

stay on the sand

[skimdeleware]

@skweekyclean go fuck yourself

[shufflehousemusic]

ok the ping at the end for the win

[x100ACREWOODZx]

For all of you that are saying "Just get a surfboard", there's a reason they are doing this. First of all, skimboards are a lot easier to turn than surf boards which makes them more fun because you can change your direction easily instead of just riding a wave in slowly.

[ranj971]

side slip back down the wave. hell yeah!

[wixnarara]

If I was one of those surfers I'd say " WTF!?!?!? , go catch the beachbreak, or just buy a surfboard instead of a jetsky"

[ExileSkimboards]

@wixnarara The whole beach is a beachbreak. Most of the "surfers" are actually skimboarders who happen to be surfing at the moment...

[Noble909]

@wixnarara Even without a surfboard he was a shit of a lot better than any of those hoes who did have a surfboard. Why don't you cram a solid one between your lips.

[wixnarara]

@Noble909 how do you know that if u havent seen none of the surfers surfing, anyways...I wouldnt mind having the fun they had

[GOOFYGOOPERROCK]

@wixnarara learn to share the beach fool

[alexkorsouw]

JUST BUY A SURFBOARD!!!!!!!!!!! what the hell meng...

[ExileSkimboards]

@alexkorsouw we towed in some surfers this day too... surfboards have way more drag and hence had to be towed in later, resulting in a much shorter ride. Where paulo is able to carve the swell as its building, the surfers would have to pump as much as possible to keep going, and often they couldnt... for this day, skimboard was the better way to ride the wave.

[michae1breeden]

@ExileSkimboards

i was honestly going to ask out of curiosity why one would tow in skimboard rather than just surf, but that actually made a lot of sense. i appreciate this video way more now.

[ExileSkimboards]

@michae1breeden sick! We were just out there having a good time doing something different. Its interesting to see how many people seem to get angry about that... :)

[shakeamabuckreet]

@ExileSkimboards good job that makes sense... as long as we're having fun and sharing waves who cares what we ride. and if it results in better rides like you have had so much the better

[marceufilho]

@ExileSkimboards I would say it's just jealousy. Everything you see on web that is cool there's always people complaining and inventing something negative about it.

[Foshizzlerriffic]

dude, i just jiz@#&d that aws effing amazing

[BomaBoi]

Epic Dexter WIN!!

[lambulei]

dexter song! :DD

[erfon]

I'm also sure that paulo surfs way better than any of these haters anyway

[crazyjapz101]

that water is sooooo clear

[jman1359822342]

0:13 i stood right there monday :D i love aliso creek everday i walk next to the creek on the way to school <3 but the waves were not good :L

[imhereforsomething]

Thats some epic shit, i wanna learn

[bmxr3456]

the wave at the end was super clean.

[phelo2kk8]

how much would a good carbon fibre board because im looking to get a better one then i have

[ExileSkimboards]

@phelo2kk8 Current retail on carbon boards is $459 and worth every penny. We have some used boards in stock too. Give us a call at 949-492-0284 and we will hook you up!

[allusersaretaken]

hah! truely amazing! good ol' paulo lol. its crazy how little surface area of the board has to be in the wave when he gets going fast

[thattakidmm]

the board he used for this is currently my own and prized possesion

[TheMrrAugust]

beauteful waves

[HeinekenLasse]

@silverjass jus got his ass PWNED !

[MrSkimboy]

god dam he makes the shuvits look so easy

[sabeeba]

at least its a better vid than bill beaker bryan worlds best skim wave

[imthe619er]

@sabeeba the real vid with that wave is searched under area 949 skimboarding

[anythingskim]

paulo makes it look easy.... almost landed that 3 shuv down the ten footer haha.... so sick

[SportFountain]

Thats bad asss !!!

[woxta]

to me this looks cooler than surfing, the board is so flexible and lively

[benchaffleck]

Very fast and agile! SKIMARIFIC!

[Unrealjon777]

Where is that?

[skiutah2436]

1 Barrel? This guy straightens out and kicks out way too much. Maybe it was a bit big for him out there...
