  1. thats some of the rawest shit ive ever seen on a skimboard. tow in, paddle, or none. insane speed and control on those big waves. big ups to domke

  2. wow that was top of the line, way way way over the top. Just goes to say anything can be done on skim you just got to have those two BIG shiny beauties.

  3. Even Kelly Slater was impressed by the video and actually tweeted it. Pretty sick to get recognized by the best wave rider/athlete of all time.

  4. RRRRUTH! def better than kelly. but sick that he gave him a shout out. this video is DA COOLEST!

  5. Now that small digital ceamras are really coming into their own and are able to compete image-quality-wise with larger ceamras, everyone I know who has been using big DSLRs for years is going in that direction (everyone I know who’s into photography also travels a lot, both for work and for fun).It’s inevitable and unstoppable. Most people – even many professionals – won’t ever need anything larger than a Canon A-1 or Nikon F with a 50mm lens, and most will have smaller ones (classic rangefinder style like the Fuji). Just like the old days.I welcome this shift wholeheartedly, and can’t wait until the smaller systems are truly good enough that I can feel safe in selling my Canon L lenses and everything. I bought an Olympus EP-2 and 20mm f/1.7 a couple years ago after being bogged down by my 40D with 24-105L lens on my first trip as a geology grad student to my research location in Thailand, and I’ve barely touched my Canon stuff since. But when absolute quality is required, I still reach for the Canon. Considering how good the latest small ceamras are now, though, when I’m able to afford an upgrade in a year or two I expect that I will be more than satisfied with whatever the latest small camera is (I will likely stick with micro 4/3).I won’t give up on big ceamras altogether – I also have my eyes on a Rollei-type medium format TLR. Larger ceamras (film or otherwise) will become the niche that the smaller ceamras are now, and I think that’s the way it should be.
