Im 16 and ive got what it takes to go pro ive been skimming for the past 6 years, but i dont know the first step to go pro, im in south florida. Do i look for sponsers or compete in competitions? If anybody can help me out.....
@lukelebeau95 skim usa competitions, make a video, email a board company, but proving your self in winning some competitions would do the trick. if you come in first in semi pro you have the option of becoming pro. go to skimusa.org
does it matter skimming what sort of sand is on the beach ? I got a primo spot but its pretty gritty sand , not fine sand like most of the skimboarding video's i've seen . Any answers would be great
@ThatOneGuy1027 the boards can be intimidating in price, but really skimming is a pretty cheap activity. a $299 recruit should last you a solid season of skimming at least. Say 150 days of riding on average? Thats less than 2 bucks a day. Compare that with just about any other action sport and its not that bad. Hope you join us. It's a lot of fun!
Hey! Awesome vid! I have seen the original dvd at least 30 times.
Exile boards are of the highest quality! At the moment I use two boards, Folha and Exile. Both are very good quality, but Exile has something special and indescribable that makes it unique.
Your team is an essential part in the history of skimboard. Greetings from Spain.
@GOOFYGOOPERROCK We ship boards direct to customers in AUS and also have a australian distributor as well. If you are interested you can check out our online shop on our website for direct sales or contact our Aussie distributor at exileskimboardsaustralia@gmail.com. There is also a facebook page for exile skimboards australia to see the latest happenings down under. If there is ever anything we can do for ya just let us know!
@ExileSkimboards Hay! Yea thanks man! well i sorta already got a cheapy *its fiberglass or sumem* and i thought i might try get good and if i do i might take it further xP cause im still only young...soo...yep dunno what the hell i wanna do xP but thanks i surely will give you a bell *if it's what i want to do*
i have a decent skimboard, and i can run fast and get a ton of speed into the wave, but once i smack the lip and try to ride the wave i lose all of my speed (ive tried pumping and it just makes me look dumb).
@oOWinterNightOo There are no ISO standards for testing skimboards so anyone who tells you XXXX pounds of pressure is just blowing smoke. Such numbers only have meaning when the methods of testing are identical. Our boards are well tested under the feet of the best skimboarders in the world (5 of the top 8) in 2010. The boards you buy are the same as the boards they ride. We make thousands of these things and have a premature breakage complaint rate of near zero. You can trust Exile.
@SkimmerStyle Foamie is a entry level foam board. You can ride some waves with it for sure but to ride like this you will probably need a high end board.
you guys make the best boards dude! i live in panama city beach, you guys should come here and chill! and i wanted to put some art on my board, would using art pens and then clear coating it work?
@skatermcgee900 paint pens usually work great. make sure and sand down the area alittle to prep it and then use non-water based ink pens. Usually just wax over the top works, but clear coat wont hurt.
@dcpierce18 we have a size chart on our website. additioanlly, if you give us a call we would be super stoked to tell you exactly what you need. It depends on a lot of different things, so its best to talk directly about it!
@hamDAram10 Well, obviously its an exile. Grady was riding a 5/8" Carbon XS Pro Shape in most of this video. Give us a call and we can hook you up with exactly what you are looking for!
how do you make your nose not go straight into the wave when you go straight out into the water to air off a wave straight off like a kicker.i try to pump and my nose dives into the water, and when i try to air off a kciker my board doesnt ride off the kicker it just stabs into the wave. how do you do it so your nose doesnt go underwater and so you can ride staight up the wave like a skateboard
Hey Guys im a surfer but i wanna get into skimboarding when the surf is low so for christmas im thinking about getting a skimboard what should i get what board and ETC. but dont like make it a 500$ deal keep it low thanks :)
We only make high end boards and they start at $385.00. We do have both used boards and blems in our shop a lot of the time... give us a call for a personalized recommendation and to see if we have something a little cheaper that might be a good fit. 949-492-0284
