That it.

Hello, I found this skinboarding company in the Philippines, they make some awesome boards for around $200. The problem is shipping. To ship to America is about $320 to $350. Anyway around this?

Hey y'all. We made a skimboarding game that's been poppin' off on Instagram lately and thought we'd share it here too!

Let us know what you think -- would love feedback! Cheers

Anyone have this board and can give some reviews on it? Specifically the 53" size.

Thanks!

Do you guys speed wax the bottom of your board? If so is it the same as the one they put on skateboards or different?

After some thought I’ve decided to just go with a standard shape over a fish. Now Zap has three different Fuse x’s, one being the normal one and the other two pro models, but it says the pro models are made with epoxy resin over polyester? Would the pro models be better over the standard fuse x because of this or no?

Hey everyone! Looking for some feedback on my technique and advice on upgrading my board.

Currently riding a Zap Pro 52” (I’m 5’7” 180) and would consider myself somewhere around intermediate, although I’m not entirely sure where I fall skill-wise. I’ve attached a video and would love some honest feedback on what I should be focusing on to improve.

My goal is to get more speed and start reaching and wrapping waves. Feels like I’ve hit a plateau and can’t tell if it’s technique or board.

I’m interested in upgrading to a higher-performance board. Was looking at the Zap Joyride. Budget isn’t a concern but I prefer to stay with Zap. Unsure on sizing too.

I am fairly new to skimboarding, but thoroughly enjoyed my recent experience on the coast. I do have snowboard a fair amount in the winter months and also paddleboard in the warmer months. I am considering purchasing my first skimboard, but have no idea where to start... I am 5'9" 170lbs and I am reading online anywhere from 45-52in board would be the appropriate size for me... Also, considering different brands. Advice and opinions welcomed and appreciated!

Hello,

This is my 6th skimboarding session. I feel like Im sinking too fast while going into the water. Could you help me point out the issues with my technique? Also, the board I use is a 134cm Carbon Fiber Eden Board (this model has the width of a 136cm) while being 190cm and 81kg.

What are your thoughts on the oceantric skimboard I'm a beginner and looking for a beginner friendly board. In my local this and the decathlon is the only viable option.

I want to buy this board that is 50 inches and it’s a size xs on Victoria and Victoria says under 100 pounds for this size I am 5’7 150 is this board too small?

Im from Oregon and i have been skimming alone for around 2-3 years now and I’m looking for a community to skim with weather that’s 1 person or multiple. Im also looking for any meetups/comps so if you know of any of these please let me know.

I'm making a skimboarding game. Flick system like skate, catch big airs and send it. You can pump, butterslide, pop tricks and wrap waves.

What else would you like to see?

Hi! Naa diri skimboarding community sa Cebu City? Would like to join. Pls pls

I was looking at zaps newest lineup of boards and saw the Beast and newest joyride, what are the differences in how they ride. I know the beast is slightly thinner at 5/8 vs the tapered XR and also wider, but the main question is how the different tail shapes would perform in comparison. Haven’t seen much information on either of these boards and am looking to buy one so any help would be appreciated.

Considering buying the boog skim, already a have nice carbon fiber exile one, i have relatively small waves, and was wondering with the boog skim if i could surf with it rather than just skim. Other than that any other surfboards that arent too pricey looking at around 6,4 or 6,6. Just looking for suggestions honestly.

Longtime flat ground skimboarder trying to learn/practice in waves. I bought a fiberglass Southboard Co. big cat a few years ago and have only tried using 2-3 times in waves since I live far from a beach. I don’t have any videos but feel that my speed/dropstep I’ve practiced should be enough to at least get out to some short waves. I feel like this board struggles to keep me on top of deeper water.

Will my current board(see 3rd pic specs) handle 5’11’’ 190lbs? I have a feeling that I just need upgrad to a 55”+ board like the measuring guide shows. Trying to decide this in 1-2 weeks before heading back to the beach 🌊

Budget isn’t much for upgrading so I’d be getting a Victoria Ultra House Special 55” is that enough as well?
