Yo Smallface, you got the time?

[jesse]

one of my favorite skimboarding photos ever, even though it's just a frame grab.

[zeus]

sooooo fucking sick wardo. nice

[wardovision]

skim photo/video rule of thumb: Whether there's 1 or 1000 people on the beach the chances of someone posting up directly in line of the shot you've set up is exactly 100%. The chance of this happening 5 seconds before the best wave of the day however is only 95%.

[SDSkim]

whats a big hag doin on the beach in cabo? with a stroller of all things.

[skimmybits]

BAHAHA did she carry the fucking thing? i am amazed.

[wardovision]

5 days after the Cabo contest and was everyone was so tired from the last week that I could only motivate 2 people to skim even though everyone knew conditions still looked like this. (and yes , it was a reachable connection)

[wardovision]

I'm sure it will turn up there among other places but I'm not the only person who shot it nor do I have the best ones so you never know.

WHen tommy skims that place he makes it look like pipeline

[Adam Hayward]

I just went through this this whole thing.... this thread delivers

so you're living in cabo now sean? I wanna go skim m&m's! how consistent is it?

[wardovision]

Thanks, no I haven't made the complete move yet but by the end of the summer I should be down there hustling timeshares part-time and filming the rest. I have a feeling M&M's might be a little fickle like the Wall but sick with when it's working.

Speaking of the Wall here's another 2 minutes of the 1 min Wall vid I posted last year. It's not really edited that well but I lost all the January07 clips due to a hard drive failure and wanted to add a few of the 05 clips before I lost them too.
http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5227026&server=vimeo.com&amp

[dkenn75]

Sick vid, Sean. Wall is my <3.

[vicskim76]

wow wardo, you are killing me with that. sooo nuts. what's the song?

[SDSkim]

god i miss wall already... :*-(


unseen walzer/mo just wall footy is sickkkk

[skimmybits]

wow. sickest vid in a long time

[Shawn Kenny]

post the full cabo video

[Lucas Gomes]

Damn,I like this place.

[Guilherme Vaz]

Mo just killing it as always

[zeus]

+1 for media on wall. the wall is my g spot

[Adam Hayward]

Thanks, no I haven't made the complete move yet but by the end of the summer I should be down there hustling timeshares part-time and filming the rest. I have a feeling M&M's might be a little fickle like the Wall but sick with when it's working.

]

nice! That seems like a pretty good gig.... I just hope you don't turn into one of the guys who gets pissed at poor people like me who just go on the time share tour for the free breakfast so they can afford gas for the drive back to the states.

heck, if it is as fickle as the wall I guess ill just settle for mind skimming it when your movie comes out!

[DC]

wow wardo, you are killing me with that. sooo nuts. what's the song? "Follow the Leader" by Eric B & Rakim, my all time favorite old school rap. Sick footy, the wave at 2:51 busted my zipper.

[B Rod]

yo sean is that kaiser at the end?

[skimmybits]

was it a video?

[wardovision]

Khan!!!!!!
(yeah it was a video)

[skimmybits]

this makes me sad

[Deebo]

I saw it and it was sick! Too bad the real contest didn't happen cus those were amazing conditions for a comp. Not too often theres a sider working that consistant in a contest final. The Pros that opted not to go because it wasn't a UST event have gotta be bummed seeing that.

[wardovision]

maybe it will spur a few of them to show up to the next non-UST Cabo contest this fall.

I noticed him one night one about a foot from my head on the wall I was leaning against. (he's about 6-7")
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c345/swardo/CaboNov030_004.jpg
and I almost didn't see this guy either until I was about to step on him barefoot. Like snakes the babies are the most dangerous.

[zeus]

isnt it because babies cant control how much venom goes in or something?

[wardovision]

yeah

[zeus]

i forget where i heard that

[Lucas Gomes]

Last skimming photos are dope .

[Shawn Kenny]

can you email me some shawntkenny@yahoo.com and you can tell me where i can buy a grabbag

[wardovision]

Alley Oop should have their order of Grabbags by next week.

Looking for a particular desktop/ rider?

[Shawn Kenny]

k ill talk to jason about bringing one down for the obx contest, wallpaper could be an empty of a connection or sammy

[espinho]

wardo do u have a website were i can see that boardbags material?

thank u for being such a great photographer. love your media :)

some day i will fly to meet u on cabo :P

[BullDawg]

Wardo's grabbags are sick! Saw one in Cabo and it's nice. You can even skate with it too--most my backpack travel bags are to long and makes it tough to kickpush. Get one, I will be when my travel bag bites the dust.

[SDSkim]

no. what are you crazy?

[woody harris]

if it peels into shore like that yes.

[dkenn75]

regardless if it's reachable, it is definitely wompable.

[Lucas Gomes]

HAHAHAHAH
Don't know if its reacheable but its pretty =)

[wardovision]

actually the reachable wave is a trick question. It wasn't but the sider it produced into the identical wave after it was. So technically it was reachable just not as a wrap.

[Michael Fk]

That's that spot/sider we are never going to skim, right?

[wardovision]

I wouldn't say never
http://www.youtube.com/v/KX5jNnDMfxA&hl=en&fs=1&

[Matheus Chiabi]

is the calabrese shot from bonus of stimulus?

[wardovision]

Not sure, I've only watched the bonus sections once but if it was in the Golden Brown section then no. I was in Portugal that week:(

[Guilherme Vaz]

yeah, it was in golden brown

[wardovision]

nope, different waves 7 months apart. (at 2:36 right?) I was 4000 miles away during the wildfire sessions

[Lucas Gomes]

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c345/swardo/SunsetMarbellaWave03.jpg
Oh god.Near perfection.

[wardovision]

yeah dude, learn to recognize waves hah. That's the same sider spot K-XXX that he keeps posting pics of.

[wardovision]
