I am coming up on my two month mark of being skim-less. It was January 5th when I re-dislocated my shoulder for the third time in three years. Since not being able to skim I have be meticulously breaking down every single skimboard video/picture I see, while constantly re-analyzing my style, drop-step, run, wave approach stance,… pretty much every aspect of the sport. Recently I have began working on my ‘new’ drop-step in my living room, and am stoked that I will be taking it to the saltwater and sand over the next couple weeks. Furthermore I have been doing considerable stability and balancing exercises at the gym to increase core and shoulder stability.
I am heading home (to the Sunshine Coast/Roberts Creek) for Easter weekend (April 9th-13th), where I will be hunting for Easter eggs, and hopefully (fingers crossed) will be riding a new 2009 Akwa Board. Till next time friends…. Thanks for stopping by!

- Well hello there. This blog was created to document the happenings and randomness in my day to day life. I am currently living and studying at the University of Victoria on Vancouver Island. I spent the last year studying in Wales, giving me an international perspective on life. Returning to BC I have become a staple in the skim scene, pushing the progression of the skimboarding in British Columbia. I hope to do this for many years to come. Thanks for stopping by. Check back for updates.Cheers,
