On October 9, 2026, in Newport Beach, California, USA, @Vic_Mentality shared a video of a woman skimboarding through shallow water near a beachfront patio. In the video, she rides a wooden skimboard across a wet sandy channel as water flows along the beach, enjoying the unusual skimboarding area created by the coastal flooding. According to reports, severe coastal flooding affected Newport Beach as high tides and powerful surf associated with Tropical Storm Rachel pushed seawater into parts of the city. The unusual buildup of shallow water near the beach created conditions that allowed the woman to skimboard along the flooded area.
