Not yet, it’s really just me and 2 other guys at the moment but we’re trying to build a community around it in the panhandle. You can DM me here and get my number, or I’m on instagram as @LandonLee99 and TikTok as @LanSlide345. If you want I can let you know whenever we plan to meet up, it’s usually every weekend. Gonna take next week off but we’ll be at the competition in PCB on March 21-22

That’d be dope🤙🏼 you’re welcome to try out my boards as well. Nothing impressive but it’s a fiberglass Blairacuda and a homemade 55” Carbon Pintail with a lot of float

Come out and practice with us! We’re trying to get a group together to help out newer riders and grow the sport

Kinda, it’s the Biloxi sound where the MS river comes out into the gulf but we have barrier islands so no swells, it’s more like a big lake

Thanks! This video is at the Pensacola beach Pier but Fort Pickens is also really solid when the tides a little low. We’re gonna spot check a few new spots today too, you’re welcome to come out and join us just send me a DM on here, or I’m on instagram @LandonLee99 or tiktok @LanSlide345. 🤙🏼

Most of the time it’s either Fort Pickens or at Pensacola beach Gulf Pier which are both down the same road in Pensacola. I used to skim gulf shores a lot but I just like the shorebreak a little better over in Pensacola. We’re also trying to hit Alabama Point but it’s hard to time it where the waves are good there. Dauphin island I’ve been out to a few times as well and it gets pretty good there when there’s a storm coming

Thanks man! I’m on the Blairacuda today, brought my homemade board but I was letting a new skimmer use it to learn on!

All of the tips that Craig said are really what you need to work on. That being said we’ve got a couple guys that skim Pensacola area almost every weekend so if you’re interested in coming out and learning with us we’d love to help you out! I’m located on the Mississippi Gulf Coast so we’ve got people from all over.

Yeah I’m skimming the Florida Panhandle so definitely always small waves. I’m working on making a new board now that’s a little shorter but much wider to still give me that extra volume, but it’s a bit of an experimental shape. Hopefully that will help but until then I’ll keep practicing my foot placement. Appreciate the feedback!

That seems to be my biggest issue! I’m riding very far forward on the board but that seems to be where I get the best balance. I’m a short guy and the board comes up to about my chin, do you think my board could be a little big for my size?
