I met up for a night time flatland session with Scott Copeland(riding) and Bryce Casselman (stills): three guys, one wet suit, two cameras, three flashes, drift wood, a flood light, one Coleman lantern and a sandy beach. This is how things went down. Cheers, Brett

The idea emerged about a month ago. I had been out of skim-commission for a few months now due to a reoccurring shoulder injury, and have been craving to get back to Port Renfrew. Up until last week my physiotherapist was giving me the thumbs down to skimming. A few days prior to heading out on our trip I finally got the ok to hit the swell again. Instead of skimming on our trip, I decided to dedicate myself to snapping photographs, as in the past our trips have been …

From the sounds of it, looks like a bromatic trip is on the horizon. There will definitely be a fatty blog post following the trip, and hopefully an article in ForeverSkimMag. From the looks of it, Scott Copeland, Jeff Zamluk, Brandon Wright and myself will be in attendance. Additions to the roster are likely!
Keep it locked here hommies, until next time…

The following has nothing to do with skimboarding, and everything to do with skimboarding at the same time.

The sunshine coast isn’t the skim destination I can sometimes make it out to be. In fact, there are a couple of really cold months of every year when my interests falter and I seek refuge in the forest. So it inevitably seems, I only hike in the winters. All the warmer months I spend on a beach somewhere trying to find some slice of sanity in an otherwise hostile world.

I am not going to lie, I have a bit of a morning routine. Wake up, make coffee, sit around in my housecoat and eat breakfast. Then I usually check SkimBC and SkimOnline. Next is Facebook. Shower. If the wind is blowing I usually sneak a peak at Big Wave Dave, web cam for beaches all over Vancouver Island.
Yesterday when I checked the web cams, every  spot was pumping. Not being able to skim (as I am out with a shoulder injury), but anxious to shoot some photography I send …

“With a little planning and some know how you, can enjoy skim trips in the worst of conditions.”
Hello everyone. This will be the first of my adventure postings. As a former mountaineering instructor, I have spent a fair amount of days in “tent city”. In this submission I would like to tell you about beach camping on the west coast. To most of you out there, skimming is an “off-season” sport with winter being the time to put away the skim or travel south. A select few of us have been making the effort to skim the winter months, which usually offers the better wave conditions. So get your gear, gas up the truck and head out!

Hi my name Brett Wildeman. Brandon has kindly granted me blogging permission on the SkimBC blog. In addition to the SkimBC blog, I will continue to update my personal blog.  I am currently out with a shoulder injury, but will be posting photographs and other happenings/adventures that occur.

If you have not checked out the new ForeverSkim issue, I would highly suggest it! It is jammed packed with Canadian, American and International Content! Big ups to Derek!

This past month SkimBC was attacked numerous times by some super nerds… Don’t know who, don’t know when, but all I know is that SkimBC was hacked. Most problems have been fixed, but the online store is still damaged.
One thing can be assured, anything to do with money (paypal, etc) and the online stores handling with money was not affected. Paypal and all of the payment methods are not controlled through SkimBC, it is all 3rd party software run by Paypal… Very very secure.
More security precautions have been made to …
