Green Eggs and Am
30/Mar/09 17:25
Saturday, the 21st of March; Paulo Prietto and Steve Taylor hosted the Green Eggs and Am competition again.
(more information under http://greeneggsandam.com/ )
The competition was held at West St. Even though it was scheduled early and the tide wasn’t collaborating, skimmers of various ages started arriving and crossing their fingers for some good waves later on. About 30 skimmers were there, signing in, getting their hat and warming up while West was doing its share:
Many of the earlier heats depended on your pretty basic front-on wave, reinforced by pressure coming from the waves hitting of the rocks, but you couldn’t call those siders. You saw a variety of tricks being pulled of; from aerials to 180° airdrops, from shove-its to switch in the barrel.
Before the pics, please remember, I am new in town, I don’t know everyones name and might be wrong on one or two of them! I am sorry for the confusion.
Teddy Parker showing that small is still fun!

Wrapping with style
But as the minutes passed and heats were turning into semi-finals, West St showed potential!
Blair was one of the first riders to really be taking advantage of the siders, but as the tide got better, the waves came in offering stronger siders.

Among some of the known names, you had Sam Stinnet, Paulo P., Brandon Sears, Steve Taylor, Derek, Tommy D., Woody Harris, and a few others:
And what would this post be worth if there were no local girls!
Then, West St really raised the heat and gave us sweat waves!
Matt going for it!

My name is Morgan.
A few years back, Andre Magarao and myself believed Brazil to have potential of evolving into a great skimboard community and hoped to be able to stimulate a healthy growth.
Thats when we created Skim Brasil!
Now, nearly 2 Years since its first airtime, we have been expanding and growing, both in and out of Brazil.
Because I moved to the city of Los Angeles a few weeks ago, we decided to pump it up a bit, I will be hosting this blog section in ENGLISH about all the action and skim-scene I can get my hand on in Southern California. I already have about 3-4 sets of pictures in selection for my next posts.
Over the next few days you can expect pics from: Escondido with Denis, Taylor and the L.A.C., and some Green Eggs and Am pics!
