Who: Rogasm and Felcho What: Remembrance Session Where: South Beach When: November 11th and 13th 2011 Why: Had the itch that you just can’t scratch Day 1: This past Remembrance Day found Rogasm and myself Savary bound on a skim mission. The debut of “Old Style” was top priority on our agenda. Determined to […]
One of the highlights of the past season’s skimboarding was the appearance of a celebrity of sorts at the Skim Pool. It made for a heated session when none other but Alladin (Star of the Disney movies) came to throw down. The proof’s in the pudding: one large pop shove it. Gotta say that magic […]
If you find yourself frustrated with you’re skimming, I would hope that you look to this story for motivation. As a traveling carney, “The Bandit” had an accident that ended in catastrophe. At a show in Albuquerque his juggling act was put in the spotlight following the Bearded Lady’s burlesque show. To spice things up […]
After a very successful and entertaining Savary Stock, business had to be taken care of on the beach. I mean what good is building boards without the research and development to back them up?

The Felchionary “Definitions for all your skimming needs” Shoot the Duck: Fooled you!!! No, unfortunately we’re not playing Duck Hunt on Nintendo.

Throughout my years of skimboarding I have encountered a recurring problem when welcoming new faces into the skim culture. Often times when someone is asked to come out and skim with the crew the return response is: “I’m not really good enough to be out there riding with you guys.” While this may be true […]
As 2011 draws to a close the notion of making resolutions to better ones self are thrust upon us. Personally, I disagree with this practice. What is the point of making phony unachievable goals on an arbitrary day? Therefor I propose an alternative solution to finish out the year; reflection on the highlights that made […]
The Infamous Bail… While it is a common occurrence in the life of a skimboarder; few take the time to truly appreciate the effort that goes into a legitimate bail.
