What's the difference between a drunk and stoner at a stop sign???

The drunk speeds through, the stoner waits for the sign to turn green.

i live in santa cruz, CA and we have the world skim contests here every summer. this beach, Windnsea, is supposedly the best skimming beach in the world. its right by pleasure point. skimming is fun but i'd rather surf.

i got a board, it was like $75, but really really good. it was like zaft or zorf or something with a Z. the only problem is, i got a crack in the top. im afriad to put it in the water, because obviously water will go in and fuck it up. i dont know how to close it up.
anyways, its so sick. except when you hit hard.

well 1st tip....6 inches is way too much when u jump on cos there will be too much drag and will slow u riiiight down....about 1 inch or less is good

The best is when it rains a lot and you go in the parking lot of a grocery store. Its really fun.

skimming rocks, especially if you're at a beach with no waves... or it's really really cold... skimming in your basement is funny but skimming in a parking lot is kinda sketchy.

My friend broke his leg a few years ago skimboarding. I guess he got his foot stuck in the sand or something and his other foot just kept on going on the board and twisted it alot.

i rented a skimboard in mexico. i had never used one and i have never seen one being used. i tried to run and put it under my feet but it was hard. skimboarding sucks. surfing is where its at.

fuckker, skim boarding is soooo funn, except after you fall and get sand down your trunks, then after you run for a while to get some speed you get crazy chaffage. your payin the next day, can barely move. overall skimming's greatttt

we got bored in texas - or maybe we were drunk a few weeks ago on vacation so we bought some tow ropes and tied them to the back of my jeep- then we towed another person on the skim board- we were able to ride for like 10 mins! it fuckin hurt when you fell though- sand sucks at human speed at 25 mph its way worse!

to fix that crack, get a fiberclass repair kit. mix up the resin and put it over a sheet of fiberglass cut to fit over the crack. then use the goop (hardens REAL quick) over it fast. i forget what the stuff is called but you can but little kits at surfshops for ding repair. or you can always jam surf wax in it and cover it with duct tape.
also, you have to have waves to skim. thats what puskes the water up ont he beach, unless youre skimming a pond or something...
