6 Month Skimboarding Progression at The Wedge! Hey! This video is a compilation of my skimboarding clips over the last 6 months. I love this sport and hope to be super good at it one day! Enjoy :D
My first skim board was a ZAP. When ,I started to ride waves ,I got a Victoria skim board.I skimmed all through the eighties and nineties. I miss catching waves.Thank you for sharing.
Nice video. I need to do a skim boarding trip to CA. In Florida, it's impossible to have your board slide on any type of wet sand unless there's some sort of water on it.
I also used to have this problem. I would recommend waiting to water drop until you can consistently get on your board while running at full speed. Also, when you water drop you want your weight to be more centered or else you will sink.
nice progress! Some tips if i may, more speed, flex the knees when on long distances, and you should'nt rinse your uper foot that much when making turns, you are actually "breaking" slowing down. Keep runing! srry for poor english
At the end of the video you can see that I do, but the reason I didn’t for most of the video was because water dropping is more difficult and requires a very solid foundation of one step dropping.
Thanks! This skimboard is the Exile pro model. Here is a link: exileskimboards.com/collections/pro-models/products/custom-signature-pro-model-skimboard
I bought it directly from the Exile Skimboards factory, but here is a link to buy it online: exileskimboards.com/collections/pro-models/products/custom-signature-pro-model-skimboard
I train anywhere from 2-7 times per week unless the conditions are not doable. I live with very easy beach access which makes it easy to go and do after school.
yo as a 12 year old kid trying to get into skim boarding can you give me advice because every time i try skim boarding i end up not even jumping on because i mentally cant. if you would reply that would help a lot.
This is awesome! I want to practice using my skimboard now. I’m a beginner to skimboarding. I want to buy a wetsuit, what brand and where do you recommend I buy one? I’m 5’3” and weight about 140. I don’t know what size or brand of wetsuit to buy. Pretty much clueless. Appreciate any advice. Thanks.
I use a billabong wetsuit, but it’s all really personal preference. I recommend finding a store and trying on a wetsuit so you can get one that you know you will like.
Dude how did you broke your first board so fast? im about to bought one that exact model, any suggestion ? or you just skimmed really rough that day ?xd
The cheaper exile boards are perfect for learning. The blue board I was using later in the video (and I still use now) is the exile pro model. It is good for me because I am tall and I lose momentum very quickly, and this board keeps it very well.
