Widely hailed as one of the best skimboarders in the game, Blair Conklin is known for an innovative style that seamlessly blends surf and skate into an artistic form of ocean expression. He’s almost single-handedly helped elevate the once-niche sport’s profile with his smart presentation of the pursuit on social media. Something that’s helped him inspire fans and fellow athletes around the world to push their own progression.
In Isopure’s Shake Up Summer series, we spend time with Blair on an off day where he shakes up his routine with a nutritious twist. Before getting in the water, Blair picks out a recipe from the robust list on Isopure’s website and goes full chef-mode. Watch him whip up a delicious Chocolate Banana Protein Shake, featuring Isopure Unflavored Zero Carb Protien as the star ingredient. It’s a creamy, chocolatey shake that’s both delicious and energizing — perfect for fueling his day at the beach.
Blair’s been around the world – from the wave pools of Germany to the shores of France, and beyond. But Aliso Beach, near his South Orange County home, remains his favorite skim spot, and when he’s home, a short walk down to the sand to check the waves is his daily routine.
We join Blair for a quick surf check at Aliso and catch up with him on his philosophy for living a balanced life, which, for him, involves spending time outdoors, staying active, and giving back to others. He emphasizes the joy of simple pleasures. “Happiness is planting my feet in the sand, soaking up some sun, and getting some exercise outdoors,” he says.
