Blair Conklin

Does Blair really need an introduction? With over 5 million followers across social media platforms, you've probably seen a video of Blair doing something wild on a board!  

But just in case...

“That’s how I’ve always looked at surfing. What can we do that’s new, that’s different?”

Blair Conklin is a world champion skimboarder and surfer known for his innovative and explosive approach to wave riding. He blends technical skimboarding skills with a fluid and stylish surfing technique. Originally from the home of skim boarding - Laguna Beach, California - Conklin developed his skills on the region’s iconic shore breaks, mastering the art of skimboarding before transitioning into alternative surf craft.

He's also a genuinely nice, funny, smart and sometimes goofy guy who doesn't take things too seriously.

Blair is a huge fan of the 2.2 Shield ZipFree range and doesn't need anything thicker than that for 75% of the year in Southern California.  He values the flexibility and warmth of the suit. 

This is what he has to say about aspects of the wetsuit:
