Pro Skimboarders Compete in Perfect Shorebreak Waves. Who Will be the World Champion in 2025?

Day two. Finals day of El Rey de Lovers. It's bigger today so the water taxis are closed. So we're gonna go check it with the drone right now and see if it's worthy making everyone do the grand hike over the rocks. You gotta climb pretty good to get over there. It's not easy. It's gonna be a mission but it could be very worth it. Top of the morning Doug. Buyo wants to go to Lovers. He seemed like he knew it was gonna be fine but he's just like tripping with the mission. He's like okay if you guys are down let's go. Gonna be a mission but let's go. Look it. Look it. Look it. Lovers. That's so technology. Zoom in. No way. Whoa. That look like a monster huh? That one looks kind of similar to yesterday. I'm cracking. I'm cracking. Let's go. Yeah. Great migration to Lovers. Oh I forgot my drone. Here we go. Oh and there's the onshore wind. This is where it looked like Weber and Olivia got smoked yesterday. This climb's cool. I haven't done this route yet. This part's kind of gnarly. That way you're like jumping off into the water. What do you think? We made it. Is it as good as yesterday? It has potential to be better. No way. A whale out the back. Finals day. Yeah I'm ready. That was gnarly. Oh heats are on. Lucas has a jersey on. The jerseys are on. The contest is beginning. Let's see if we can get a little behind the scenes action of some of our competitors. Just waiting for whales. Are y'all fired up? I'm all fired up. Who's gonna do a five shove first? I'm doing a widley first. Watch out that guy's in your heat. Will he be the king of Lovers? All right guys we're starting the heat. Are you scared of that? Are you? Building a house made of three shoves. Zane's turn. What are you doing? Is it your heat? Can we go now? Yes it's my heat. So today we got all of our stuff smoked. A little spout out the back. We got a tail right there. Another one. What do you think? You think he made it? Point. I got a sick one. Team Zachy. Team Zachy all the way. Dang that wrap was sick Zachy. You skimmed really well. Yeah. That was huge. How gnarly was that? He's still up to here. He's upside down. He's upside down actually. How was that air? That was really sick though. Good way to end the heat. How was that air? I saw Go ahead boy. Should we go on the next one? What? What are you listening to? Going. Billy. This is a competitor zone. This is the Billy zone actually. Yeah dude. You're allowed. Oh my goodness. Caught up a little bit. Still sneaks it through. Little hang up but I mean he managed to make it up the shore. We'll give him like a 7.5. You got Zach in your heat? Yeah. Wow that's awesome. Still firing as you can see Lucas in the tube right there. You and Weber? One of my favorite skimmers. Whoever has the most fun kind of deserves it. Love you Weber. Zach you got this in the bag no problem. This is a tough one. Don't know who to root for. That's a freaking big cider. He's gonna get tubed on the cider. Come on John. I think he would have hold it. I think he would have slam dunked that thing. Straight into the hole brother. Jesus. Can Weber pull through? Are you stressed? Weber two minutes. One and a half. You got six minutes plenty of time. Slow down. Might have been Zachy. Honestly that last wave for Weber was a score. That was a sick one yeah. He's got a full send on that one. He's got it, he's got it, he's got it. That was sick. Why don't you ever throw peace signs at me when you're in the barrel? I like to focus on peace. Did his base just connect with the sand? What's Blair doing? Wait are you up? Oh yeah. Who do you got? No way. Is it this? Looking for this. First time ever. Rivalry, gnarly rivalry. Here we go skimboard. Really incredible waves today so you just got to pick them right. Come on dude. Looking forward to your next heat? Oh yeah. It's on. The wit is coming through at all. It's rocky. It's just silent on the beach you know what I'm saying? You feel the tension in the air. Two of the best guys in the world going head-to-head with no waves coming through. It's hectic. Beautiful. Yeah Hera, good luck. Thank you. You got it, follow it up. His knee's hurting. Oh yeah Zach. From Laguna Beach, California.
