I shot the skimboarding video below at the Balbao Pier yesterday. The tide was high and there were powerful waves breaking near the sand. City workers had moved sand from the back of the beach to the front to prevent the high tide from flooding the parking lot and beyond. All of this created the perfect conditions for skimboarding, which is similar to surfing, except skimboarders run from the beach to the water and catch late breaking waves by the sand. The skimboards are small replicas of surfboards without fins to allow gliding in shallow waters.
Does Ruby's have a monopoly over pier real estate? I've never been on a pier in SoCal without a Ruby's at the end.
And here's a popular skimboarding video on YouTube:
No pain, no gain. Tell your housemate skimboarding ain't as easy as pimpin'.
