skimboarding

i've been going to the beach alot and skimboarding lately, I don't really wipe out anymore just riding it on the sand, but i'm still learning the basics and trying to move up and learn some simple beginning tricks.

My balance is for shit so I'd probably make a fool out of myself

ah this is so cool. i always take our board down the beach when i go.
i dont know any tricks, except go on feet, knees, and can do 180degree turn but thats it... just make sure theres enough water under the board. otherwise is grips on the sand real quick and u will go flying and make a fool of ur self...

what kind of board do you use? i only have beginner wood one from victoria. But it's a bit small for me so i'm looking to upgrade to a larger one, hehe get more speed.

you are guaranteed to eat shit at least several times before you get a hang of it, unless you are like a pro skateboard/surfing/snowboarder rolled into one, then just maybe.

gonna go for the bomb drop tommorow at zuma beach, running with board in hand and jumping on it while in midair like a skateboard. I am going to get so owned.

skim boarding is great fun, but you cannot take yourself too seriously cos it has great potential to make you look stupid. Also make sure you don't do it too close to other people. Wiping out and taking others with you ris not good.

victoria, australia?? thats where im from!!!
i got no idea wat sort it is. its no particular sort actually. its really old. its pretty much the same shape as yours, and its just waxed wood. works a charm though.

holydamn sharpeye. ur almost riding that out in the waves!!! i do it right in the shallow. where the water is like 5mm thick. that way u can slide along it for ages, like 20m. but u gota watch out when theres no water under neath the board...

lol it works for me anyway. on a couple of occasions i have gone 30-35 feet but your right, shallower water is better for distance.
