[MrCustom112]

[grieco12]

[SirCuddrs1394]

"all you wanna do is hit up some flatground and just get your ride on..." Are you kidding me you couldnt get a guy thats less corny!? really...

[loganfliptv]

[Mzahaka1313]

[ejohnson242]

suck my penis expert village

[dencio888]

is the G & S wood board fr amazon.com good for a beginner?

[SWSmagnum]

look, i ride a circle 1 woody board and still catch small shore waves, all a foam board does is make it easier. but if your willing to do the extra work a woody board can be just as good

[klxman118]

@SWSmagnum no, woodys are for poor people and look retarted. you think your better than lets say me, cause you can barely ride in waves on a woody. so can i. not that hard. but i can also go 30 feet into the water and do flips and surf waves back in.

[sensualdie2]

shut up jajajajajajaa

[JSingBP]

"get your ride on" hahhaha goon

[hellgast69]

if you are on holiday near a buzy beach you can buy a cheap wooden skimboard at one of the little stalls near the beach. this will be a low quality board but it's good to start with.(it'll cost you about 10$)

[tnmus1c]

hahaha "expert"village ;) ironic

[pilot1115]

what kind of board is he holding th yellow one?

[quackers3702]

Dude, theres also a foam board, & I made a board too! + it was a great video! :)

[abrownapexlover]

umm theres carbon and we call it float..not bouyancy

[arenw95]

I'm on vacation in Maui for 2 weeks and I was wanting to skimnoard since I had the last time I was here. I was wondering if I should buy a wooden board or rent a carbon or fiberglass or w/e board for $120. advice??

[frankie43120]

[jpeel132]

[NIKEAF1NIKE]

@jpeel132

[jpeel132]

@NIKEAF1NIKE true true

[MrHawaiiMon]

[cvpr787]

@MrHawaiiMon

[yOmOmO1231]

Fuckin noob, expert village my ass.

[ppjt141287]

[Aberdemon1988]

that would be so getto to make ur own board!

[connor3555]

i am about 6"2 and hav a wood board that goes up a lil below my waist is that a good or bad thing?

[AnimeRocker741]

two different types of boards??

i thought theres woody foamie poly ultra

i use a Victoria Poly Carbon MS ftw

[luckyguitar123]

Two main types

[ssspencer93]

ya theres like 7 ha

btw how do you like your board? i was lookin into gettin a carbon but i didnt wana spend the money if it wasnt that much better than a foam core

[Weezermon10]

well i have a victoria bill bryan pro model(carbon), and like the way its made is stiff because i think it makes it easier to turn or something

its harder for me because im not that good.

if you're like really good id recomend it, but im selling it for a victoria poly vac.

good luck

[SirCuddrs1394]

@Weezermon10 Dude why would you downgrade stick with the Bill Bryan or sell it to me!!hit up my profile

[Weezermon10]

oh and this is animerocker741-i didnt realize my brother was logged in

[ssspencer93]

alright ya im not the best at riding waves but im gettin more into it and its really hard to ride with a victoria woody if your not on the flats lol but ya thanks for the advice

[heyoo96]

carbon is foam core it uses carbon fiber instead of fiber glass or e-glass. its alot lighter and smoother

[heyoo96]

he means the two basic types if you really want to go into it theres exile zap victoria and those are the three main hi-end skimboard companys and theres slotstik a newer hi-end company and then the low end companys tht make only wood boards are like infinate

[makazi1]

i got a victoria woody 2009 but i don't go the waves in if i got enough money i go check for a fiber glass bloard but i live in the nederlands so i don't have big 5 or something as sport shop :)

[KStock07]

the bigger the board the easier it is to ride waves get zap they are the best or wave zone which is a west coast brand

[nickmurphyrock]

i use a zap med wedge

[metallicarocks66]

i use a zap medium pro.... it is a sick board

[XtremeSkater123]

i have used a wood to go in to a wave

[benjamintg00]

i got mine for 10 euros...wooden one

[Camman22424]

I use a victoria fiberglass. Fiberglass is better in my opinion as i can ride waves and flatland. Fiber for me rides better on both. Also u shouldnt use boards from big 5 or walmart. thats where i got my first board and they suck! Check out Victoria skimboards, they are expensive, but well worth it.

[sk8rpetewentz]

i have a fiberglass board for 200 and somthing

[joshb0508]

Fiberglass boards are better on flats and waves get them from skim city they have a ton.

[BUBBAHUMP1]

can u still use fiberglass fer flatland.? will it b jus as good?

[jokeraceking123]

i recommend for any kind of skimmer

a fiberglass one

checkout the zap skimboards website

they are high quality

don't buy certain victoria boards some of them a cheapo

[farmer759]

aha i skim flat land with a fiber board, check it out. fiber boards own wooden flatland..

[robrod27]

i made my own badass wood board

[fajitaboys]

if u can afford a computer to watch this video, im pretty sure u can afford a 10$ skimboard.

[ertpoi]

i got a wood one for 90$ and its worth the money.

[paintballz4ever]

uh a bought my skim board for 10 bucks from big5 and mine is pretty decent

[PENfisHiNgRoDUser]

chances are people who cant afford one wouldnt have a computer to watch how u make it

[burgerking12321]

"but if all u wanna do is hit up, hit up some flat ground and get yur ride on " lmao

[RangeApe]

i dont think $40 will get you anything except a Decent wooden board.

[TrueTopDog321]

i need to get a new 40-42" board cuz my old ones to small, im just a flatland boarder so i should get a wooden board? but i only got $40 so does anyone no what type i should get?

[clajam09]

How much difference is there between a cheaper fiberglass board and an expensive one or carbonfiber.

[tjk728]

carbon fiber is a lot more durable than cheaper weaves, but unless your riding head-high break you should be ok with a regular fiberglass board

[wasup1290]

yeah i got a carbon fiber board it was expensive

[skatinit]

carbon?

[samskates2112]

i have a wave zone and to me it is a in etween board it can be used flat very wel annd waves very well plus i tried zap and its the same but i like wave zone better

[craplicker12345]

how does a victoria compare to wave zone? And I live in utah, i go to california a lot on vacation-coronado beach ftw, what is a good lake to go flatland 'boarding at in utah?

[tjk728]

victoria has a better reputation than wave zone...wave zone boards have more rocker which means theyre curved more which can help u skim over small waves but doesnt go as far on flatland.....if u are a flatland rider u do not need a foam/glass board....check out akwa they are specific to flatland

[wavezgta]

Carbon is another kind of fiber, stonger than fiberglass but kinda expensive, oh and its very lightweight

[youknowwhatwehate]

there E glass to there a bunch of shit that u dont hear of to much caaz well its too exspensive those are the to most commmon for ppl watching vids on how to skimboard

[Ethanprodigy12]

im about to buy a victoria

[namq81]

thats what i got its awesome

[rarefactdude1]

ah... I've been doin flatland stuff for years, but got a fiberglass board for the first time. I've been watchin' some videos on how to do a wrap, but I can't figure it out. does it matter that I'm goofy-footed?

[420Affliction]

Nah bro, goofy or reg doesn't really make much of a difference...it'll just affect which way you wrap.

Backside is hella easier for wraps, at least for me. Since you're goofy just try to wrap backside by putting pressure on the inside rail of your board and keeping weight even. It will help to learn to run-step to get out to further breaks and to safely drop in bigger closer ones. Start your turn a lil bit before you get to the wave. Hope this helps a bit. Just keep at it and you'll get it.

[rarefactdude1]

Thanks brah. Getting closer to it- still feelin' a little awkward but i'm gettin the hang of it. Now the only problem is not sinking- have too much weight on my front foot, keeps makin me sink.

Juno Beach FL. check it out, excellent skim spot. go south of the pier

[420Affliction]

Hell yeah, badass down there. I live near Daytona...really hard to get out to the break there so learning to mount quicker helped with speed. XD

Because you're goofy, try making your entry going left, slightly backside. You'll already be facing the beach and going the direction of your wrap. When you get to the wave, pump up and smack your tail into the lip. Keep your weight slightly back as the wave will push you forward.

I'll give you a heads up when i'm down there again. Later hommie.

[TheLittleCartoonist]

im 13 almost 14, and i have a wood board that seems to small for me, what would be somthin decent to get, but not to expensive? plz reply

[rarefactdude1]

Try wave-zone. they're pretty good quality, but way less expensive than zaps and all the other name brand boards.

It also sort of depends on your size and weight-- how tall are ya and how much do you weigh?

[OnslaughtPBallerCam]

yeah wave zone might be ok, i like zap better, my friend has a wave-zone and it wears down very easy, a zap will give you a better run for your money but if u are just tryin to get into skimboarding and need a good starter board a zap lazer is very good, i use a zap wedge its a bit more pricy than a lazer, but its bigger.

[eliteenjoy]

Yea Fuck wal -mart!

[jasonsurfing09]

i like fish

[basedude90]

[kingcr3b]

i would recommend carbon fiber, because it is stronger and u can easily surf waves, if u by WZ "Wave Zone" "The Stealth" is the way to go if u r really good like me and my bud, we live in destin florida

[evilcheese439]

WAVE ZONES SUCK. holy shit.

[kingcr4b]

yeah the funny thing is i don't use WAVE ZONES i use exile and so does my bud. And u probaly don't skim or u do and u suck ass.

[evilcheese439]

no i skim and dont suck, wanna c some pics?

well i got a video on youtube,(click my name and watch the most recent one) but that day was mostly all backside wraps and hollow barrels. lets see your stuff.

[McMaster]
