I'm more into surfing, but skimboarding is good to try. I found it to be a lot harder than it looks.

On looking at the enormity and beauty of the Earth you realise just how small we are and how big God is.

skimboarding is great in places like south carolina where there are no surfing waves, but plenty of beaches.

the best thing to do is to go straight down the beach and try and do flips and shit off the waves

-the extra strength felt weak, but over there on the corner, saw what i need and proceeded to cross the street
-put the heat in a mailbox, to lose it
-figured the post office knows whats best to do with it.

hahah ur a loser. people cant do those tricks. i live on the ocean, skim all the time and see skimming all the time. you cant do that trick and just say your not very good. cuz that would be a lie. u do that trick p,ease call zap skimboards.

i suppose u can misty off waves and ride back to shore, but thats not very good.

im giving u a hard time because i dont know of one person around ne MA who can do that and i skim alot, and its not something u do and say u suck at when u can do a 360 shovit body varial.

ive been skiming every summer for 7 years. Im getting pretty good now, i can turn on waves and ride em in if im lucky. Not a good sport for attracting chicas though. I find that every time a hot chic is watching me i run, drop the board, trip and fall on my face, there's so much that can go wrong.

I used to build my own boards in highschool and sell them for $40...i would cut them out with a jig, bevel the edges, sometimes even bend the board to give it some rocker, and then fiberglass em...they were the shit, I still have my first board...
My biggest trick i think was a 180 shove it to 360 shove it to sexchange shove it 360...Its crazy. I seen some guy in Tofino at the Quicksilver comp kickflip his skim...im not shitting you either, he hit a small wave, popped and kickflipped it.

Now they have rails you can set up on the beach to slide...Its gnarcore...

work to live...not live to work. work to ski...but only if you ski to work. The simple equation to skibumming 101 ...i didnt do it

my skimboard is the crap $5 u can get at wallmart so all i can do i ride into a wave and sink. Hella boriing. I've tried the boogie boards with the really smooth bottoms for skimboarding and i seem to have more look with those but its way harder to balance

spanish banks reprezent, Sandskimmers only. Sandskimming if fun for distance and tricks, probably not as fun as waves, but still good. And rails on a skimboard are the shit

Skimboarding is definatley the shit. Thank you^^^ for saying that. Theres a difference between sand skmming and skim boarding. Oh ya, and all of you surfers who say that skmiboarding is to hard, then your crazy. Skimboarding is almost the exact same thing as sufing. The only differecne is that you run.drop.slide(hah) into the wave and in surfing, you padle.
