Interview Corey Ryan ,Skimboarder from Santa Cruz

Allez direction la californie à la découverte d'un skimboarder bien frappadingue comme on aime!!Allez c'est parti,accrochez vous c'est du solide!

Could you describe you in few line?

a few line? ...hmmmm feline? a tiger mixed with a bear mixed with a pink elephant that most "people" don't understand mixed with a beach wolf and half person-shark... that eats frogs and pickles before they are pickles but then turned into pickles before i eat them...?

When did you started skimboarding and why?

i got a copy of beaker's and geo's ... tenth street area 949 one day from a friend and had no idea what real skimboarding was other then j-gordons growing up in santa cruz and looked at the "top pros" and said to myself "i can do that, just different" due to my skateboarding background and fucking around in the ocean on what every my mom could afford.

What do you prefer in skimboarding! ?Where do you live ! is it a good place?

its skateboarding at the beach if you want or can look at the beach like that or its surfing in shore break or both mixed together with its own thing at the same time and its the hardest board sport you can get yourself to become "good at" and the smallest so why not give it a try because santa cruz just happens to have one of the best liners on earth and good shore break and a frontside sider and secrets beyond secrets of other spots filled with magic pixie dust if the sand is there and the swell is right year round if you know how to hunt

What is your best result in contest?

that would be last....being last to win is better then first to lose.

What is the craziest meal that you eat during a surf trip?

well since i don't surf i don't know... thin air?

Do you often ride skateboards?

i do.

Island Slalom Tour is a series of skateboarding contests on tiny french islands where nobody has ever skated! We are as Captain cook at Hawaii in 1600! Except we have now motor boats and concrete roads... What do you think about this?

i think highly if i could be there..

What is your biggest Wipe Out?

watching beaker skim cabo.

One morning, you wake up ,You arrive in your kitchen and suddenly,you see a genius in wetsuit! He say:” Hey I can offer you 2 magic gifts if you give me a bottle of milk! What do you say?
