Just got back from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. What a great trip it was. I ended up placing 6th in the event, but had more fun catching the late evening glass off sessions in front of our hotel with my fellow Exile riders. If you've a skimboarder and never been to Cabo, you have to slap some sense into yourself and get down there. Cabo is a skimboarder's paradise. It's so fun that I'll be heading

(Click image to enlarge)Alley Oop Adventures is broadening their horizon by now offering a trip to the skim playground of Melaque, Mexico. Pack your bags because this is going to be the quintessential adventure. Adventurers will be searching for new skim breaks in along the Mexican Riviera while soaking up the rich culture of Mexico. This is one destination that all skimboarders should visit.

We were blessed with warm sunny weather and big surf all week long. The big waves didn't intimidate these youngsters. I didn't get any pics when they were charging 5 ft. Aliso because I was scared to see them go yet stoked to see them charge. All in all, this was a great group and I hope to see them all next year.

5 boards in one bag ain't no thang for skim camper Nicky. Austrians apparently are the world's strongest men.

Paulo is turning Japanese and will be teaching a skim camp in both Japan and Taiwan. It's only a month away. This time, he's bringing legend Steve Taylor along for the ride. Beware all Japanese and Taiwanese peeps, we're spending 3 weeks in Asia and will be looking for Steve's wife. She's coming home with us.

Harley Nelson and I went down to Acapulco this past weekend to compete and teach in Acapulco, Mexico. It was the first time either one of us had been there, so we really didn't know what to expect. We couldn't help but wonder if the waves were gonna be any good or how big the event was going to be? As soon as we landed in the hot, tropical, humid environment and were picked up by Leo, Sebas,

Another camp in the books. This group was full of energy. They were a crack up and kept me on my toes. Thanks to Steve Taylor for helping spread his skim knowledge to these guys. The team challenges were memorable and the kids were awarded with gear from Etnies, EOS, and On a Mission. Needless to say they were stoked.

Solag is fortunate enough to collaborate with Yoga Works of Laguna Beach during its camps. At each camp, a certified yoga instructor comes to camp to offer all the campers with a well needed stretch. It's great to have this opportunity especially because Cathy Cox, the yoga instructor, is a knowledgeable, experienced yoga instructor who helps stretch out common tight areas for skimboarders such

Skim Camp #2 went down on July 20-23. We had a great group of groms who were shredding the waves apart. The waves were good all week long. Here are some shots from the week...

First hand account from a Cape Cod rider:So I went to skim camp, hoping to get better at skimming. First thing Paulo teaches me is how to get on the board with one step from when you drop it to when you get on, and getting on with my backfoot first instead of front foot. I was like are you serious, there is no way I can just change how I get on my skimboard after 9 years of skimming. So my first
