Skimboarding–what is it??

Skimboarding (or skimming) is a boardsport in which a skimboard (a sort of little surfboard) is used to ride on an incoming wave. Unlike surfing, skimboarding begins on the beach, with the skimboarder running and dropping their board onto the thin wash of previous waves. They use their momentum to ‘skim’ out to breaking waves, which they then catch back into shore in a manner similar to surfing. Another aspect of skimboarding is ‘flatland’ which involves performing more skateboard orientated tricks such as ollies and shuv-its on the wash of waves without catching shorebreaks.

Skimboards and Surfing

Are skimboards ever used to surf?

Answer- the answer is maybe? I know that doesn’t help much but I have seen someone ride one and road a wave however it is very difficult as skimboards don’t have fins which help surfers draw lines and not slide out all the time. If you have an extra large skimboards you would have a better chance then utilizing a small skimboard.

Hope that helps.

Surf Autographs

Longboard skateboards are used to get from point a to point b and to carve like your surfing. You really should try out longboard skateboarding it is really fun.

Kelly Slater

Kelly Slater is the best surfer in the world. Even though he recently lost at the first WCT event of the season he is still the best. Whether it is riding a 5.4 at pipe and winning the masters or a 5.4 in Oz and shredding through 2 foot slop. Kelly Slater is the conduit to the rise in the popularity of surfing. Every wants a kelly slater autographlike they want a picture with Tiger Woods. The question is can Kelly make it number 10 this year after his sub-par performance in the first event of 09?
