Over this past weekend, I got to see some of the clips form the upcoming ‘Get Some” skimboarding movie. The team at Can Openner Creations is working on editing the movie for a late summer or early fall release.

The movie looks great. It has some amazing shots of local skimboarders and some hilarious clips.

I look forward to the final product.
