Off Rip is the world's first (scripted/narrative) skimboarding feature film… We made it on the beaches of Pinellas on the West Coast of Florida, featuring top Skimboarder in the world Lucas Fink as well as Jack Tenney, Tony Montrone, Sterling Myers, and many more.

We also collaborated with Zap and Shorelb. This movie is a love letter to my hometown (Redington), and I hope you enjoy it!

Side note: the film also deals with the fentanyl / drug crisis that takes place in small towns. Gritty, rough around the edges. Not your typical PG sports movie (intentional). Dogtown inspired.

Would love feedback on the film and any thoughts moving forward regarding both the sport and independent filmmaking.

Question Looking to get a zap wedge or a ex1 need help

I am in a landlocked state, but we go on vacation a lot and I love skim boarding. I have a few Woodies, but I’ve beaten the crap out of it, but I’ve never got my hands on a fiberglass board. I’ve gotten out in the water on the wooden boards, but I haven’t actually caught a wave just cause it’s kinda hard to get anywhere far enough out to catch a wave. I have a trip for Waikiki and Oahu coming up soon and I’m looking to get my first fiberglass board and I would love to spend a lot of money and get myself a nice carbon board or what not but I just don’t think it’s worth it based on how much I’m going to skim board so I’m wondering what board I should get I am 5’6 130 pounds I am also 15 so I want something that I’ll be able to ride for a little bit. I would love to do some wave riding and that’s what I’m going to try to learn, but I have no problem with flatland, but I’d prefer a board that can do both without being too weak out in wave riding and if I just wanna do fly and I can also just use my wooden one my budget is $400 with traction pads, shipping and set up

I've heard that Aliso works during low tide. Is there anywhere else that works around Laguna, Newport, or San Clemente?
