The sand has moved a lot with the few storms that hit Southern California last week. There was also a significant left over swell. Initially at Aliso, the Session moved to the next beach on the South called Camel. There were some fun ones there for pros Teddy Vlasis and Johnny Salta to catch!

Wyatt Colen, Johnny Salta and Paddy Mack went up to Seal Beach early and scored some good waves! It is this time of the year! Check out the Pictures by Kyle McClure.

We decided to wait the end of the day for the tide to drop, so we meet up at Aliso at 3pm. The conditions were beautiful, some siders, wraps and airs. Johnny Atoe, Max Bourne, Jared Green, Ryan Ward, Brad Dickey and many more were skimming together and had lots of fun.

Really fun conditions for this Saturday Session. Solid consistent swell the past couple of weeks exhausted most of the skimboarders! Not that many people out but we were very happy to see Larry Allen ride! Tex joined him for a Saturday Session Special Legend Edition!

Amazing conditions for this Saturday Session. photos by Laguna Socal
It was an interesting two days at the Oktoberfest by Exile Skimboards. Nothing on Saturday but small wind waves, but the threat of rain on Sunday evaporated and left some pretty nice wind waves.
All in all I felt our team skimmed at least as well as anybody out there. Standouts were Johnny Salta all but beating a very late Bullo. Waiting 10 or 15 minutes for Bullo to show up was very questionable, and what the judges decided about it was a surprise. Tim Gamboa likewise gave Sam Stinnett a serious run for his money, and showed a lot of poise under that kind of pressure. Steph likewise went toe to toe with Keiao Bucasas and held her own under the stress. Nathan Flanigan also could have easily won his final, but came in a close second. High fives also to the utes, Zach van Meter, and Jude Young, they were charging too. Congratulations to everyone who competed. It was a lot of fun to see that high level of riding, and that can do spirit in the face of lousy conditions and steep competition. Thank you Exile for putting on a contest.

On top of Hot Coffee and Donuts, we brought some classic retro boards at this Saturday Session to have everybody ride them and see them. It was very fun! Beautiful morning, warm water and skate park-like waves, really fun!

We originally met up at Aliso at 9am but the tide was too high and the waves weren’t breaking, so we decided to push the Saturday Session to Thalia Street at 12 pm. It was a good call indeed, it was nice and warm and some nice ones came through. Here are the pictures by Tex Haines.
