skim boarding ain't that hard. It takes some time to learn, but I have no idea about surfing. It looks fun as hell, and I've always wanted to try it, but I never had the chance.

thats kind of like asking what is better between skiing and snowskating. theyre both fun, but theyre no where near being in the same ball park...

I'am talking about skimboarding in waves, not on thin surfaces of water, I have tried surf and I have a skimboard but I wanted to know wich of the two sport is the harder, I have looked the skimboard video of a guy on ns and it's pretty similar to the surf except for the size of the board.

surfing is the bomb! I've been doing it for 10+ getting up on a board seems to be the hardest for people, ounce you get that the rest just progresses. I tried skim boarding into waves and ate royal shit. it is hard to run than drop this 1/4 inch sheet and bomb out and turn? all set
at that point I started to cry...mainly 'cause I sat on my balls

that's what I tought, the board is so small, it's difficult to run and jump on the board going into the waves

i like both, the hardest part about learning to surf is paddling fast enough to catch the wave.

And you really think its a sport for kid, I think its enough difficult for you ..
Im not talking about skimboarding on thin surface on water but about going in waves, its similar to surf but the board is smaller, dont say its easy..

surfing is one of those things that it has to be a good day so you can get up on your board a lot. If the conditions are bad when you do it, you can just be sitting on your board for hours.

Surfing with a surfboard or a skimboard is different I know but the two sport are a little bit the same thing, your on a board that slides on a wave. I did the two sport I know what it's like. I only wnated to kow your opinion

you can drop 60 ft waves, or catch breaks 100 miles out with surfing.

if I was going to ride a wave, I would definatly take a surfboard. Skimboards don't even have fins... carving wouldn't be near as fun.

yeah, I have watched the movies and seen people do it. The waves are pretty much all shorebreaks. So you get an extremely short ride until the waves crashes you onto the beach
