Exploring unique skimboarding spots across Europe
Oct 7, 2026
Oh boy, we just arrived to the UK here on the Pools, Ponds and Peaks tour with Reef.
First stop, we're headed to a pool. We're going to The Wave in Bristol.
It's going to be interesting. It's my first time driving on this side of the car.
Full, second full day here in the UK and we are scoring some good weather today.
We started out at The Wave this morning. We rolled up to this, probably one of the
most beautiful coastlines I've seen.
It's taking a leak.
Multi-tap.
I wonder what that little island is right there.
Any guesses?
I give it a little gum two thumbs up.
Give it a raka shaka.
Tonight, it's a raka and a shaka.
Just pulled up to the Spring Classic Surf Festival. We're going to do some longboarding
today. One foot, just little peelers.
Look at that rock.
I think we're going to turn SkidKids into a longboarding channel, so stay posted.
Long boys.
Getting ready for my super nerve-wracking heat.
I think we're riding like 10 foot boards from the 70s. Vintage boards. You basically pick a card
and that determines what board you're riding. It's kind of like the Cosmic Creek set up.
Ingrid is prepping.
Scoping out the competition.
How's it look out there?
It's a little fin spinner.
It's kind of sick.
That's what it's all about.
You know, I know what's watching, man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Whoa.
Better than I thought.
Man, you told me everything I know.
I need a lesson in the cross step, dude.
Mike Le just absolutely taught me how to ride a longboard.
It was a struggle out there. I think I stood up twice.
So we're going to go get our ears checked out.
We have an ear doctor over here at the Spring Classic contest.
I've never had my ears looked at by a professional, so.
It's Claire?
Flair.
Yeah, that's an easy one to remember.
Oh, that's disgusting.
What's that black thing in there?
That is, oh my gosh.
That is detailed.
Look at the sand grains.
Oh my, how does he have a girlfriend?
That was one of the dirtiest things I've seen about myself.
Not pretty.
Not a proud moment.
I swear to God, I will kill you.
I thought that was a fly.
I was having a nice nap.
She went full freak out.
We have a little subpar for skimboarding for me today.
So we're getting the youngins into it.
Hopefully we'll have some future skimboarders come out of England here.
Pretty perfect.
You didn't even have to tell him.
No, he just took my skimboard from me and just showed me how it's done.
Yeah, Dylan.
You drop, the nose goes down.
That's a good one to end on.
Way to the second stop of the Pools, Peaks and Ponds tour.
Portugal on the not so easy jet.
We had to take a bus and walk halfway through the whole airport to get here.
Not sponsored by EasyJet.
We are on a race to the finish.
There's Blue Surfboard.
Will we make it in time?
We have 20 minutes.
And we missed a flight in the Amsterdam airport.
So we're spending the night here.
I'm about to show you our home base.
We'll call it camp for the night.
It's gonna be a long night.
This is like glamping.
This is amazing.
What the?
Oh my.
I thought I'm filming the whole thing.
Yes.
We're trying to find Head Surf Warehouse Portugal here.
And it's proving to be a little bit more difficult than we thought.
We're looking for a Bruno.
Hello.
Yeah, it wasn't a Bruno.
It was a Bruna.
It's a log?
I think it's a skipper.
Skipper?
I saw like in England, the tallest guy was the one that...
Didn't even try.
He was like...
Surf's on.
We're gonna get tubed.
Mega's ready.
Mega's on.
We're calling Otis.
The sketchiest elevator in the world.
It's like the Tower of Terror.
Is it all gonna fit?
I don't know.
This is maximum capacity.
Uh-oh.
I think there's time to put some stickers on.
Here we are.
Off to the surf of our first search of Portugal with the Mega Man.
Yoo-hoo!
Our best Portuguese friend.
How do we get out of here, Mega?
What do we do?
I don't know.
No, no, no.
Wait.
Wow.
It requires a Portuguese thumbprint.
Grand reveal.
Super buck.
Super cold still.
Super buck.
Mini edition.
This is Santa Cruz.
Also the hometown of the Ocean Spirit Surf Festival, right?
Oh, yeah.
Right, even that right right here.
I know that we're gonna go out there and it's gonna be hard to catch a wave.
Probably.
Oh, barrel right there.
This is the best waves we've had in the ocean the whole trip.
Is that samba?
I think that's samba, maybe.
Whoa.
It's nice.
Nice little air wind.
I'm not claiming I'm gonna do an air, but if you get the right one, this is it.
This is all you need.
Miserably at vlogging in Portugal.
We had so much fun.
We didn't even think to bring our phones out.
Save this and sell it on the future.
We got more feelings.
