9:17 AMWave check at Aliso

With a south swell pulsing, tides

dropping and winds cooperating, tim

heads to check how aliso is holding

up. Leaving soon for the united skim

tour stop in Brazil, tim looks to find a

sider to prepare for sununga.

9:23 AMALISO IS A GO

"'aliso gets so much power, it's gotta

be one of the heaviest waves in laguna.

when it gets good and when the sider

works, it's in my opinion one of the

best waves in the world.""""'

9:55 AMQuick Sesh At Aliso

"'Living in south laguna i normally

check aliso and west street and make

my decision from there. Today the tide

was a little too high for west so i fig-

ured aliso would get some fun ones.""""'

10:14 AM"'the waves were pretty decent today,

the south swell allowed the sider to

push through and connect to some

good ones. only if the water temp

warmed up a bit.""""'

11:57 AM'The skim culture in Laguna is top notch.

Traveling around the world though, I can

definitely say i'm jealous of the cultures

growing in places like Mexico, Portugal and

Brazil. That's the future of the sport.'

12:24 PMExile Skimboards HQ

Tim heads to the exile headquarters in

san clemente, california to look for

a new board for his 3 week trip down

to brazil for the first stop of the 2013

united skim tour.

12:34 PMQuiver check

"'For some reason i always need to

have some sort of red on my boards.

i have no idea why, i think i'm just

super superstitious with the colors i

choose for my pads and boards.""""'

2:17 PMWavehouse

tim heads down to the san diego wavehouse

with some buddies. while it takes about 45

minutes to get there from Laguna, he tries to

make it down to ride to the standing wave at

least once a week.

3:02 PMWavehouse

"'Beaker introduced me to the wave-

house way back in the day when i was

about eleven. I didn't make it down

there that often until recently but

now i try to make it down at least

once a week.'
