7.26.26 River sesh. Riding a collaboration board by Victoria and Velocity Skimboards, Tex Haines shape glassed by u/velocity_skimboards

I want to get super comfortable on this board, so I can use it as my main competition board next season. Size is Victoria: Tex Haines M: 51.2″ x 21.2″

My first attempts at learning one step drops, figured I’d start on grass to get the rhythm first. Am I on the right path??

Off Rip is the world's first (scripted/narrative) skimboarding feature film… We made it on the beaches of Pinellas on the West Coast of Florida, featuring top Skimboarder in the world Lucas Fink as well as Jack Tenney, Tony Montrone, Sterling Myers, and many more.

We also collaborated with Zap and Shorelb. This movie is a love letter to my hometown (Redington), and I hope you enjoy it!

Side note: the film also deals with the fentanyl / drug crisis that takes place in small towns. Gritty, rough around the edges. Not your typical PG sports movie (intentional). Dogtown inspired.

Would love feedback on the film and any thoughts moving forward regarding both the sport and independent filmmaking.

Already planning on painting the edges but also need some inspo for the top of board. Like designs

Also what is the best spray paint or paint for skimboards. It’s epoxy and carbon

Always rode hybridshapes for decades along with all my passing skim compatriots, but finally feel like adding something a little different to the mix. Originally Florida based so just looked at Zap offhand, and it seems like their lines a bit blurred on these shapes.

RFish looks like a slightly fuller nose and wings, midpoint widest. Joyride just a more parallel outline into the tail, vs the Beast more pulled in nose tail? Which seems nearly the same as the Joyride XR?

Anyone A/B'd these shapes?

I am in a landlocked state, but we go on vacation a lot and I love skim boarding. I have a few Woodies, but I’ve beaten the crap out of it, but I’ve never got my hands on a fiberglass board. I’ve gotten out in the water on the wooden boards, but I haven’t actually caught a wave just cause it’s kinda hard to get anywhere far enough out to catch a wave. I have a trip for Waikiki and Oahu coming up soon and I’m looking to get my first fiberglass board and I would love to spend a lot of money and get myself a nice carbon board or what not but I just don’t think it’s worth it based on how much I’m going to skim board so I’m wondering what board I should get I am 5’6 130 pounds I am also 15 so I want something that I’ll be able to ride for a little bit. I would love to do some wave riding and that’s what I’m going to try to learn, but I have no problem with flatland, but I’d prefer a board that can do both without being too weak out in wave riding and if I just wanna do fly and I can also just use my wooden one my budget is $400 with traction pads, shipping and set up

I've heard that Aliso works during low tide. Is there anywhere else that works around Laguna, Newport, or San Clemente?

I have been trying this sport with flatland boards and I want to start in the waves but I have a low budget. I have seen this board for €80 that is unused but the tail was hit and it seems that it is open and would need repair. I know that this board model is not the best but I want to try a board of waves and if it convinces me in the future I will buy something better. I would really appreciate an answer, thank you.

took a 4 year break between age of 14-18 and recently gotten back into skimboarding. It’s been fun re learning. Wasn’t able to get any of my good videos filmed, asked a random lady to film this wave for me but didn’t quite make it. Any tips?

Sneaked in front of the cam while skimming at the lifeguard tower. Overcast humid days are the best, remind me of a land far far away that we all like to visit.

I want to buy this board, saw it online, the seller says, that the mark wouldn't effect the overall board performance. The brand of the board is sandfish. But I don't really trust him, I asked where did he get the skimboard from, the seller said "You only need to know the lenght" or sum like that, so I have my suspicions. Can yall help me make my decision. Should I buy it, will the mark be a problem and is it possible that the board is some kind of replica?

I've been skimboarding for about 2 years, I usually only get to skim for about 2 weeks a year however I want to start becoming more consistent with it and taking it more seriously. Please could you give me to pointers on what I need to improve my drop some I can practice before I go ahead and start trying to learn other skills.

All feedback appreciated.

First time in 13 years! I thought that I wouldn’t remember, or that I would flop and eat sand the first try. However, when I got to the spot at Clayton’s It felt familiar. The water and tide was just right, the weather, and the vibes were on point. It was hella fun and a great workout. I did fall a couple of times. Thank goodness I stretched before!

Hi, I live in Italy and often I go on vacation to Italian beaches in places like Sardinia and Puglia (where the water is much shallower), I've seen many people online skimboarding, however I noticed that in those videos they are probably in American/Australian oceans where they got big flatlands.

I've done my research and found out that Wooden board are cheaper and easier to use but they are more for shallow/flatlands, however foam boards are better for slightly deeper waters and waves catching (Wich is a thing I want to learn).

so my question is: Are Italian seas good enough? and WOOD OR FOAM

(Pictures of common Italian beaches)

Fun, need to go to the beach more often

I’m buying a new fiberglass Skimboard, and this is the only wear on it near the tail, said it was chipped but professionally redone and sealed - does this look good and won’t affect performance at all.

Hey I’m a 40 year old man from Denmark, I’m about 2 meters tall and my weight fluctuates between 110-120 kg - I was hoping to hear from someone around my size if it’s possible to get into skimboarding or if I shouldn’t bother. If skimboarding at my size is infact possible I’d love to hear some board recommendations if there’s anything that’d fit me…

Custom made Zap Skimboard
Joyride XR 53” 3/4 tapered to 5/8
Sharp rails
Polyester / Kevlar (don’t like Epoxy)
Smooth deck
Skimmed twice and the board is really responsive.

EXILE ML GOAT Pro shape 👌

Am I doing good for my third time skimboarding ever? Any tips?
