 ABOUT US
|
White Rock is one of the Lower Mainland's best locations for flatland skimboarding with eight kilometres of sandy beach and warm shallow waters. The progression of the sport in the area has been drastic from simple crusier runs to today's skateboard/snowboard influenced tricks such as Ollies and butters. The Breakneck Crew is proud to have been part of this revolution in White Rock from the beginning. Since 1997, Kyle Lynch has been doing his thing at East Beach experiencing the change from constructing driftwood rails to complex PVC rails, from wood bases with resin to all types of stronger more slick materials.
" Over the past ten years, It has been amazing watching how far the sport has come. I never imagined that the sport would become so popular. I remember when I first began skimming, I was one of the only a few skimboarders on the beach and now I have a full crew of guys just as stoked as I am. "

Q&A
|
Your Start ? I picked up a skimboard at a pawn shop on the island and gave it a whirl at the beach, and since then i've never stopped skimboarding.
Transportation ? My mom\dad till I get my liscense.
Favorite Part of the day ? When it comes to skimboarding it's in the morning, just on a normal day I sleep in and enjoy the afternoon.
After Skim Feast ? I eat what ever my mom cooks me.
Best Skim Trip ? Havent really been on a skim trip yet.
Best Session ? Coming down to spanish banks with the crew for a photo\video session.

Your Style ? I like to rep the du-rag and a jersey of some sort on the beach, and try to get in some big tricks when it comes to rails or flatland.
Why Do You Skim ? I skim to get away from the rat race and the crunch and have a dope time under the sun tearing it up. where there's ponds, the breaknecks are there, where there is sun and a beach, babe's are there. so there is a little bit of everything that you get from skimming.
Dream Skim Trip ? Australia or Hawaii
Life Philosophy ? If u dig something, then go do it no matter how bad the money pays (skimboarding), skim during the day party at night.
