I practised at the beach once and had a lot of fun but did also make a fool out of myself, and I don't want to do that again right now. There is a large football field near my house - would practising out there while it rains to improve my drop and step be worth it? Or is it overall more beneficial to suck it up and keep practising at the beach?

I’m looking at a zap fuse x or a cazador v2 changito pro both in 54 inch. The fuse seems like it would have better float than the cazador. I mostly will be using in NJ, so the waves are a bit farther out depending on what the beach conditions are that year.

I’m like 145lbs.
I’ve had an ace (I think) 52 for like 15-20 years and it’s been worn out for a while.

Family is going down to key west florida for spring break, and I want to try and learn to skimboard. Any spots recommended?

Hi guys! I want to start skim boarding on Lake Michigan next summer, and I was thinking about getting the Exile Ex0 because it seems like a good beginner board. What’s your guys opinion on it?

Circa 2018

Hello! I bought a skimboard last year and took it to the sea three times, each for a week. I had a blast learning! However, while sliding on the board, I always rotated to the left and ended up sliding backward. Unfortunately, I haven’t figured out how to prevent this yet, and I would be very grateful for any tips you can give me!

I’m using a foam board that reaches about 5 cm below my sternum. I weigh 75 kg and am 179 cm tall.

Is the exile exo 48 inch big enough to catch waves ?

I had a 52" "Big Cat" board from South Bay Board Co. but I believe they went out of business from when I bought it two years ago.

Was buying the EX1 worth the upgrade? I didn't like the tilted nose shape of my old board.

Basically, I'm asking if anyone has any previous experience with the 52" from South Bay board co, the general consensus I've seen is that it sucks and is made with super cheap materials. The EX1 should be much better right?

Has anyone use snowboard/ski roof rack mounts to carry their boards? It’d probably only be one board but I’m curious!

Any general tips for going further on flatland AND on waves. Currently riding exile exo 48 inch at 120 ibs . Any help is appreciated

I live in New England and am not a fan of cold weather let alone cold water but I’m interested to know who skims during this season and what I can use to keep semi warm.

I really like going as fast and as far as possible on my Victoria woody which is perfect for flatland. I've never tried a carbon board but I'm assuming it works just as good if not better. Obviously I'd try to catch waves with carbons but I'd also like to continue doing flatland. Would be nice to do two on one board.

Hey guys! I just bought a Go Pro Hero 12 to start recording my rides with a mouth cam holder. I noticed it have plenty of modes and wide angle options and i would like to know what modes you guys use the most to capture the most of the run and the ride on the board. I looked for youtube video guides for it but i only found surfing settings! Thanks in advance

Pretty new to riding my exile exo after just using wooden flat ground skimboard for a few years not taking it too seriously. With a background of surfing and skateboarding I thought catching waves of all size (even small ones for were I live) would be a breeze. Turns out I was wrong.

First of all, one step drop is so much more difficult than it seems never being able to get the timing right. And when I do the traditional throw down and chase which you see many beginners doing, I barely get out very far no where even near the wave.

If I did get out to a tiny wave it seems I just can’t stay on top of the board and I just twist my body on top of the wave not being able to use the wave to push me

Tips/ solutions needed asap

finding this drop easier to progress with than a one-step, but it's hard to find footage of this. who's out there that i should be watching for this?
