Skate and skim boarding

Ramón Montero - 5 years ago

why not both?

Richard Baker - 5 years ago

Ramón Montero surf in the morning and skate in the arvo when the wind picks up. Everyday ritual

JDop Y - 5 years ago

Name of the music for the surfing part?

Ray Sanford - 5 years ago

I dunno. Skateboarding has the broadest and most impactful culture... But I feel like surfers get more from surfing than skaters do from skating?Mostly the same shit, but they get to commune with nature and shit. Plus, they invented that dirtbag life. I mean, SURFERS GET TUBED!!! Legit fully encapsulated inside a moving wave!!!! Thats a physical experience that NO ONE ON THE PLANET gets to have ECXEPT SURFERS. For that reason alone I gotta hand it to surfers.

I love surfing

BonkChoy - 5 years ago

As i am fairly decent at both, I can see that it took me about a month to get an Ollie down but my first hour surfing ever I got riding the waves down. I definently eould day though that skating is more fun, because there are so many more tricks in the book than you can possibly do on a surfboard

Salvador Reyes - 5 years ago

Skateboarding for me. You can practice it anywhere at anytime. More tricks, more avenues to do it on. Examples; vert, street, and freestyle. Surfing is just astheticly pleasing.

Click Bait Channel - 5 years ago

I do both,but I have to go on holiday to surf where as I don't with skating.
However when i'm on the wave I like surfing more than skating, but surfings such a hassle for me. Also i'm better at skating than surfing.

Rihem Hannechi - 5 years ago

I skate but I really think that surfing is cool really want to learn but we don't have good surfing waves in my country

Jaqos - 5 years ago

There’s a truly unexplainable feeling you get when you finally get in the barrel of a wave it’s just simply amazing I recommend all skaters try surfing it’s so fun!

Romain Guéry - 5 years ago

Skateboarding and surfing are quite different sports even though they share the same origin and purpose.

-Skateboarding is more technical and offers a wider combination of tricks. Also the fact that the module ain't mobile helps a lot and you don't need to wait for the weather conditions to be right (except if it is raining and that the spot isn't sheltered). Skateboarding can damage your body a lot more than surfing over time.

-Surfing is hard because it demands a lot of endurance and physical training and can be frustrating at first as it takes a while to see yourself progress but once you start catching more waves it is so much fun. Surfing can be scary at times for diverse reasons but especially when the waves are massive and it takes some balls to send yourself over the edge and to not panic under water while your body is being ragged like a doll.

Although I love and practise both sports, I do prefer surfing mainly because of its lifestyle and despite the fact that some surfers are absolute assholes.

BAV BOYS - 5 years ago

iif half of these skaters went surfing they would see how difficult it really is and how much more dangerous it is. surfing you only get one shot per trick aswell, not every wave will be the same, it's alot more time consuming and life risking.

6:36 ur welcome

AJ G - 5 years ago

Well skating started as "street surfing" and theyre both extremely fun to do so its kinda difficult to say one or the other is better based on fun factor alone. I must say it is a lot more fun to watch skaters skate than it is to watch surfers surf.

Subjective man

Strictly Skateboarding - 5 years ago

True!

T A I 太極拳 - 5 years ago

Surfers since skateboards :P

Memosaurus Rex - 5 years ago

In fact, no. Surf has been invented in Indonesia more than a 1000 years ago and even more.

PS: There is also been a rumor that surfers didn't want to wait for the good waves so tried to put wheels on a surfboard to surf anywhere anytime but this has not been prooven.

Mario - 6 years ago

Strictly, are you a surfer?

Mario - 6 years ago

Are you more of a surfer or skateboarder? Which do you like more?

qazzy - 6 years ago

I'm 34 and just started skateboarding lol. I have new respect for people who can do tricks on skateboards. But I also want to learn to surf and snowboard. I feel surfing might be easier to learn and I like swimming, but I don't know if that is true. But I can simply walk to the park and skateboard.

JDop Y - 5 years ago

When it comes to difficulty: surfing>>skateboarding>>>>>>>>>>>>>snowboarding
Trust me

Imagine waffles13 - 5 years ago

Surfing is harder trust me

Etienne Theriault - 6 years ago

besides sharks.

Strictly Skateboarding - 6 years ago

I wouldn’t say it’s easier but definitely a smaller impact on your body...

Surfer Girl 121 - 6 years ago

I am a very young surfer and I have just got a skateboard ,great video

Strictly Skateboarding - 6 years ago

Awesome!

Jorge Torres - 6 years ago

Surfing. It's a cool feeling riding a wave plus u barely ever get hurt. A lot less risk

Atomic Ankle Breakers - 5 years ago

Uhm yeah I guess u have no risk if you are surfing 2ft waves but I’d like to see you say that after getting washed by a nice 15ft set

Imagine waffles13 - 5 years ago

More people die surfing than skating. Btw here are some examples: rip currents, sharks, drowning, and getting knocked out by your board.

Been surfing my whole life and seen like 3 sharks. They aren't a thing

AJ G - 5 years ago

I've been surfing my whole life and ive never been attacked.

TRIxIE Is LIfE - 6 years ago

I’ve been surfing for over 7 years and have surfed spots with lots of “shark stories”. I haven’t never been bitten, and they’re extremely rare. People will usually send a warning to the lifeguards if there is a shark and th beach is usually evacuated/the water. I’ve seen shades but haven’t been attacked. It’s a awesome sport

Strictly Skateboarding - 6 years ago

Agreed! Shark attacks are usually a one bite attacks...

A COMENNTER - 6 years ago

Also being a sufer because they are hot is a little weird :-)

A COMENNTER - 6 years ago

Sharks eat people on accident thinking the person is a seal sharks don't like the taste of people so u don't have to worry also there is sharks warnings when needed

Gavin Dary - 6 years ago

DAMN! 12K!

Meccarox - 6 years ago

Both are cool but skating is better and you can do it anywhere.

Goodiebagio - 5 years ago

AJ G I agree but chances of getting attacked by a shark are pretty slim

Imagine waffles13 - 5 years ago

Salvador Reyes I do the same no worries

Imagine waffles13 - 5 years ago

Salvador Reyes https://www.cbsnews.com/news/skateboard-accidents-land-scores-of-kids-in-er-every-day/

Imagine waffles13 - 5 years ago

Salvador Reyes and by injuries I mean broken bones, concussions. And etc

Imagine waffles13 - 5 years ago

Salvador Reyes although it is hard to pinpoint the cause of death of every surfing fatality there were 77 surfing drownings in 2018. But that being said there are less than 200 skating injuries every day. So I’ve found them you are marginally more inclined to be injured in skating. But you are also more likely to die surfing. https://www.weather.gov/safety/ripcurrent-fatalities

Imagine waffles13 - 5 years ago

Salvador Reyes haha I was implying that surfing was a niche sport considering that a majority of Americans don’t live right on the beach.

Salvador Reyes - 5 years ago

+Imagine waffles13 Good sales becouse it's a niche sport, was a subjective comment. If we're going to devalue each others preference by just saying "subjective" I can do that all day. It makes good sales simply becouse it's a more skilled required sport and more appealing to the masses. Show me the stats behind surfing injuries and skateboard injuries side by side.

Imagine waffles13 - 5 years ago

Salvador Reyes the marketing sales are only due to the fact that it’s a niche sport. True you can skate anywhere which is one of its attributes, but it’s subjective that either ones better. It’s all in your preference. And feel free to look up which ones more dangerous it’s all on the internet.

Salvador Reyes - 5 years ago

+Imagine waffles13 According to what statistic? Skateboarding is better in all areas, all the way down to marketing sales.

Imagine waffles13 - 5 years ago

You are literally more likely to die surfing wtf r u talking about

BAV BOYS - 5 years ago

feels dude. i live in bali, ive gotten too many stictches from surfing, and a dislocated knee. and too many near drownings. skating is fucked aswell, but i feel like there equal, theres just more of a death risk when surfing.

AJ G - 5 years ago

Jorge Torres wow... have you EVER been surfing before? lmao... just wait till your board smashes into your face fins first and slices you open, or until a wave drags you under the water and across the sharp rocks on the floor, or until someone hits you in the head at full speed with a heavy surfboard, or until you inhale water, or get attacked by a fucking shark! Theyre both dangerous as all fuck.

Jorge Torres - 6 years ago

I prefer surfing cause I hate getting hurt!

Strictly Skateboarding - 6 years ago

True didn't think about the fact that you can skate anywhere at anytime!
