 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. "

MARCH 31ST, 2008 "PIER EYE FOR SKIM GUYS"
|
Chris and Kyle hit West Beach for a sunset sesh along with Chris' roomate, who was trying flatland skimboarding for the first time. Since the session was spur of the moment we didn't bring any rails, but that didn't stop the spectators from watching the crew stomp some sick flatland tricks.

MARCH 26th, 2008 - FRANK JOINS THE BSC
|
Nick, Kyle and our newest team rider Frank Oelkers headed out to East Beach for a sick session. The crew is stoked to have Frank on the rooster, he is one of the most talented of White Rock's groms and has one of the best attitudes towards flatland skimboarding that we have ever seen. Anyway, our sesh was cut short when the sun left us, causing the temperature to drop but not before Nick and Kyle got some ghetto footage.
