Crunch Time: A Skimboard Movie

Crunch Time: A Skimboard Movie

"The sun is shining, the weather is sweet. Make you want to move your dancing feet." Bob Marley said it best. Nothing is better than unreal shore break or one of the world's best sidewashes, when the conditions are at their best.

Wintertime discovery journeys in Mainland Mexico, summertime East Coast hurricane swells, fall California road trips from Laguna Beach to Santa Cruz, and spring maxed out Wedge followed by wraps under the Cabo San Lucas Arch. Crunch Time is skimboarding: a critical moment or period (as near the end of the game) when decisive action is needed. A great movie you can watch anytime at a great price. Feed your eyes what they need.
