etnies Skimboarder?

Posted By alex in Surf | Friday, March 13, 2009 Skip To The Comments (68)

I just got this clip from our etnies Surf TM. And apparently we hook this guy up with some gear here and there. Now, I know what you're thinking... skimboarding? That's not surfing. Right... just watch how sick this guy is and then tell me he's not surfing.

This is etnies skimmer Paulo Prietto from Dana Point, Ca. and he's the best in the biz! Paulo is rad! And this clip is baffling!

  8. Nice to see Etnies dipping their toes into skimboarding. Its an awesome sport that is almost completely unsupported by the major "surf" brands. Get him up on the team page!

  9. Wow it's pretty epic to see Etnies support skimboarding. Skimboarders really support companies that support their sport. You should hook up more events.

  20. barf!
    skimming needs to stay underground!
    it's too amazing of a sport to have anything
    to do with mainstream!
    and i am correct!
    keep it core- fuck off, etnies!

  38. Paulo likes things that are hollow.
    Paulo pulls in to things that are hollow.
    sometimes Paulo doesnt come out of the hollow things.
    Paulo doesnt care.
    he just does it again and again.
    Nice moves Paulo!
    Thank you Etnies for hooking a great skimboarder and great person up.

  42. Paulo
    Your friends, family & the skim community are so proud of you for being an ambassador to our sport.
    Skimming is a spectator sport.
    Back a guy like Paulo and you can't go wrong

  43. This is awesome, Paulo is an amazing person and a damn good skimmer too. Etnies would be doing something great for the sport and for a leading athlete by picking up paulo fully and the pay back would be the loyalty of a growing but tight knit skimboard community
    great work

  48. "sick" doesn't begin to explain this footage. if you've ever been kept under one of the waves he's riding you'd be "sick" to tell about it. I for one have and have healthy fear for the experience.. Ride on.

  67. Paulo's sick, a tremendous athlete. It's so cool to see a mainstream label do anything involved w/ skimboarding. The fact is, it's about time really, because skimboarding is inredibly physically-demanding sport. Generally, most good skimboarders also surf or skate, but most surfers and skaters aren't skimboarding. It's such an amazingly progressive sport, it's baffling that it has pretty much been ignored by mainstream brands and sponsorships.
    It's about time! Go paulo!

  68. I think it's sick that etnies is beggining to get involved with skimboarding. skimboarding is a growing sport for sure. I definitely hope to see etnies sponsoring events and contest.
