Skimboards, Softies, And Surfboards On (Near) Dry Sand

We’re not sure which of these constitute ‘surfing’ but Kolohe and Griffin make an appearance!

What distinguishes surfing from those other aquatic bastardisations? Is it having a fibreglass board? At least one fin? Or is it just standing up on a planing object on wave? There’s no hard and fast rule for what demarcates proper surfing from the rest. And this video is a prime example: it’s filled with all sorts of shit in good waves. 

Brad Domke’s still flinging about on his skimboard. Blair Conklin refuses to admit foamies aren’t good for tubes. And there’s even a couple old school bewgs lingerings between the HP Pro’s that are Kolohe Andino and Griffin Colapinto. 

If the above were all just skimming and foamies it would be a borderline post. But given the quality of the waves and the occasional star-studded lineup, we saw it worthy of a post – well, good enough for a Sunday anyway. 

Enjoy it, or don’t.
