Brad Domke rides the biggest skimboarding wave of all time (Via SurferToday.com)

If there were any doubts, Brad Domke has put them to rest. Big wave skimboarding is here to stay and impress. Prepare to watch the biggest wave ever ridden on a skimboard.

The Floridian skimboarder has ridden what is widely considered the largest wave ever on a skimboard. Domke took off on a massive barreling ride at Puerto Escondido, Mexico, in early July, alongside Shane Dorian.
While riding big waves on a surfboard is no longer a secret, holding the line on a finless skimboard is a different story.
Brad Domke's hollow wave at Puerto Escondido not only is the biggest skimboarding wave of all time, but it also opens a new chapter in the history of the sport.
It's time to invest in skimboarding. There are more and better skimmers, agile and established tours, steady and sustainable brands. The International Surfing Association (ISA) may play a key role in the development of skimboarding.
Take an in-depth look at Brad Domke, the master of big wave skimboarding.

It is a surfers dream to find an unridden wave especially in their own backyard. But it can be a chore to those that actually do. John Forse found a perfect big wave in the Pacific Northwest and instead of keeping it to himself, he put together a pro contest to showcase and promote the evolution of big wave surfing. "The Find" is a documentary film focused on the first five years of the Nelscott Reef Tow In Classic. Watch as the contest overcomes local and financial obstacles to become the most consistent big wave event in the world and evolves from a tow surfing event into a Big Wave World Tour premier Paddle Only spectacle and leave controversy in it's wake.
