outside of florida nobody "skims." and the comment about surfing being boring was made by a kid from florida. i used to be that kid, then i moved to CA.
Skimboarding bring's life and hope to the kids in the Philippines. it help them to avoid drugs and violence.. although they can only afford wood board, but they got the skill's to go pro. watch my "Zap the Kidz" video and see what is skimboarding in the Philippines is.
I just bought a board. 49" Zap Large Wedge. I have a smaller board. About 3 feet long. Not good for riding waves. Any advice for someone that wants to at least try to shred like these guys? Tips? Just send me a message.
practice your run and one step when dropping your board. Try getting into the habit of literally running on your board rather than jumping on it, which I see a lot of newbies. Keep your weight shifted to the back, so you can get the rocker up and shred faster. Just practice, thats all i can say.
Right. Just jog and drop your board and practice by just slowly running onto it. Then build up from there. Trust me, once you get this down then it's all gravy from there. Just have fun
This video is sick as hell, but people would respect it even more if the skim was good, like im pretty sure this was filmed in melborne, so all they have to do is drive like 4 hours up the coast to vilano, which is hands down the best spot in florida
I just got into the sport a few years ago and never get to skim but for those one or two weeks in the summer i practically live eat and sleep on my board skimboarding is a great sport and has a bright future !!I LIVE FOR THIS STUFF!!
This is the video that skimboarding needs. I've been very impressed with all the victoria and exile videos as far a video quality, camera work, editing and the riders, but there is no real story. I'm a videographer, editor and avid skimboarder from monterey california, and I've been dreaming of making this video, basically the one you've done. I'm so stoked on what you guys are doing. I don't know if you've completed the full length documentary yet, but when you do let me know where I can buy it
everyone tell your friends to watch this video because i am so sick of when i say "i skimboard " and then people say "isnt that when you throw it down and jump on it?" SKIMBOARDING RULES!!!!!!!!!!!
iknow they dont get that you can skim and hit wves ride them throw tricks and even ollie people should get into the sport and learn somthing about it theyed be amazed by what you can do an a board
im going to 8 contest this year. im only thirteen. i think skimboarding is alot funner than surfing and bodyy boarding. i live in NC. i started skimboarding at about age 10. i sucked so bad, but it is so worth it ounce you start getting good a ridding waves and getting covered up so stick to it.
EVERYONE WATCH AND LISTEN TO THIS VIDEO!!!! know what skimmin really is so people will stop standing in front of us when we try to skim...greg's the man
i just started skimimg i got like an hour under my belt so i suck but its fun as hell. but i have skimin wen theres a lot of ppl cuz then they all watch me nd i fall a lottttt nd i hate that they stare and laff at me wen i bet they would suck am i the only one who feels this way?

yea i will stick with it but right now its winter so its to cold to go in the water. but i have my bord in my room nd i look at it everyday nd tell myself "ur gana learn how to skim no matter wat" nd now i cant wait for summer agen.
hey i have a question, i was wondering if anyone could help me. I bought a fiberglass skimboard, and i think it may be too light. whenever i go to drop it the wind will always catch it... so i guess what im asking is how heavy should they be??
hay man just try to keep the nose of the board down and toss the tail of the board down when the board hits the water it will stay so yea try it later
i am into skimboarding, i have 2 nemo boards =D, getting pretty good but only flatland,the beach im at has got no waves =(. still having a bit of trouble landing a 360 pop shove it =(.
we are allowed to skim on 1 side of the pier where i live.... and every1 just stands in our way and doesnt move....yet the "tourist" side is empty but life guards wont let us skim there
i live right by skim city, go to the beach across from it almost every day, and we dont respect tourists for crap idk what gregs talkin about, all i care about is getting them outta my way and not hitting the little kids.
hey do you know where can i download the full movie?

hcasouth 3 years ago
light boards are good. the trick to it is to get the board wet first, then kick some sand on the nose of the board( on the bottom)
it adds weight to it so the wind doesnt carry it away, and also washes off when it hits the water.
hope this helped!
