One of the best surf vloggers out there isn’t really a surfer. Blair Conklin’s a world-champ skimboarder who happens to surf. And the cool thing with surf tanks is that the lines between both types of wave riding are blurred. Blair gets barreled and boosts big airs easily on both craft. And we love that. Surfing benefits from more craft (and rider) diversity and innovation.

For this clip, Blair and company went to Boa Vista and sampled the pool as part of the real estate development’s promotional push. The clip below captures the pure stoke of this XXL version of the Waco wave pool. Bonus points to Blair for not yelling some annoying catchphrase throughout the clip.
