ALISO Beach is going under some changes since the City of Laguna Beach city is taking over the local control of South Laguna Beaches, from the County of Orange. Historically the county cooperated very well throughout all these years with the skimboarding community allowing a moving skim/swim zone according to the changing shorebreak conditions. This [...]

Future top professional skimboarder Paul Carey enters a surf competition in San Clemente, CA on one of the very few Victoria Surfboards, shaped by Tex Haines. It was a pretty amazing moment to witness and that's why Tex was present to support Paul and captured a few photos.
A couple of hours before this Saturday Session, there was a King High tide, followed by a very quick drop to a very low tide. There was a short window where the tide was right and offered some fun rides for the session and even some siders on set waves.
The first stop of the @unitedskimtour was one for the history books. We consider ourselves very lucky to have such a talented group of riders throughout all divisions. It was a gift to see our local Melaque riders @brianlopezmlq (1st) and @tulemelaque (4th) display their talent and place their way into the top 4. Huge congratulations to @chabewhite for winning [...]
