i got the whole basic parts down and i know how to pump once i get to deep water but how do you time the waves right i eithor get out till im waist deep and sink or get hit in the face by a wave that allready broke. any tips?
@howesthename runn faster.. you need more speed to stay up in deep water. and make sure your board is the right size for your weight. and to time the waves just takes practice. and practice. and practice. also watch the timing of people skimmin around you and in videos. but if you pick up your speed it will be easier to time it all. good luck
@klxman118 cuz they take all the damn waves man... and it seems like everytime a surfer is out there in the lineup trying to catch one, the boogie boarder is right there to drop in or get in the way of the surfer...i know from experience
@soccermaniac4535 have you tried turning your board perpendicular to the way you're going (3:04)? This forces more surface area on top of the water and allows you to "float" a little longer. When wrapping.....all I know to say is keep your back foot in the wave....Ride it out, "kick" the wave, and pray...
ayy every1 imma get a new skimboard and have to decide whethr a VICTORIA MATRIX or a DB THOMAS PRO!!!! any advice pleasee help thank you soo much!!! Which one shuld i choose????
@hyttpi there are some sick waves in mexico, and the wedge is of course baller on good days. oh yeah and bill bryan has a video of him getting tow-ins in teahupoo so basically they're plenty of big waves to be skimmed. besides if your good enough at skimming you dont need big waves to have fun anyways.
@hyttpi If your so into Surfing and Boogieboarding, why the hell are you watching this video retard, surfing is okay, and boogieboarding is just gay, if you boogieboard, you have no skill...
@hilariouschris id get a large wedge or maybe even a small pro depending on how long you want to skim and how far out to the waves you want to get i weigh about that and ive got a large wedge and a small pro
looks like laguna!
