Finally got a chance to head up to Southwick Beach on the nicest day of spring break. It was pretty chilly outside and the water was freezing but we toughed it out. Had to get our skim legs back after a long winter.
After months of waiting we finally got out skimboarding. Middle of the city, puddle skimming in a park. With all the run off and rain we've been getting there were puddles everywhere,and perfect skimming. Got some fun stuff down nothing huge it was are first day out for the season and Arick is just coming off a double compound fracture in his arm, and wasn't supposed to do anything physical until april....all in all it was an awesome day look out for the edit...should be on soon.
So we've been meaning to get skimming for awhile now after seeing our friend Logan Davidson and others riding. Well walking down to the park for some random reason yesterday I came across these two amazing puddles.
The only issue is that the only person who has a board is Arick. Mine (Matt) is still up at my camp. But Arick is hopefully coming over tomorrow and we'll session these to amazing spots. Check back tomorrow to see some shots.
We decided to get a head start on the up coming season by making some new boxes. In the past we have never really had any "legit" boxes. The only ones we had were just slabs of wood nailed together crooked that took 10 minutes to build and lasted for about the same amount of time, and any boxes we did make we made half way through the season so we got hardly any use out of them. The two boxes that we have made so are a flat one foot tall one foot wide box and a one foot wide flat with a kick starting at a foot and going to a foot and a half. All thats left now is pvc and stenciling.
