Skimboarding, Venice

Casey Key, Fl Skimboarding

In this video published on December 09, 2011, a young John Akerman and friends were having a blast just north of Venice, Florida at a secret skim spot in Casey Key.  The skim was pumping, lining up perfectly, and the boys were throwing down some epic shuv tricks on some perfect peelers.  These guys are killing it.

Cody Thompson and Carl Rosen

What’s rad about this video is the way Cody talks about his feelings for the Jacksonville area, not to mention the clips are absolute fire. But, we listen to him talk about growing up with his father right on the beach while we see a vision of the famous Jacksonville pier. We also hear him mention that his brother lives just down the road from where he lives.  It’s cool, because it’s sort of how I think a lot of people grow attached to the place they live and the waves they surf. Love from caregivers during youth plays a pivotal role in our attachment for surfing, and the waves and places we associate with that love.

Panhandle

Panhandle Colin Gallery

The surf shop in Pensacola managed and owned by the Spencer family got their hands on some gnarly surf photos from Tropical Storm Colin.  They just dropped some of the raddest content that I’ve seen come out of the panhandle in quite some time.  A truly incredible wave they have up there in the panhandle.  Seriously critical drops into some seriously hollow tubes sets the bar high for gulf coast surfers.
