unless you are 4'5'' 60 lbs you aint riding waves on that. if you serious about getting into it you will need a foam/ fiberglass board. pm with questions if you want.

I have one and when I go to the beach like two or three times the year I do it, but it's not like a serious thing.  I just ride it down into the waves and falll or across the beach.  Theres not much to do unless you have the surfboard type one which is a waste of money because I don't do it much

i have a zap bomb and i like it alot.  if u really want to get out past the puddles than you kinda have to learn to get on the board in one step. u retain so much more speed that way and its easier to get out.  but surfings alot easier for that kinda stuff because it doesnt depend too much on how far out the waves are breaking.

i do but its not like ocean skimming. we set up rails and do it on sandy shallow parts of the lake, really fun to mess round on and slide rails/ollie stuff

Well I live on the ocean in BC and the tide infront of my house goes out really far like nearly a km kinda far. So I'm out nearly daily if the weather is nice. I have been making my own boards for the past couple of years.

I do! I ride a zap wedge (pretttty shitty) so if you see a chick on the east coast (Maine/New Hampshire/Mass) trying to pretend she can skim, it's probably me.
