Skim Boarding

Have you ever wanted to give skim boarding a try?  Have you ever heard of skim boarding? Skim boarding is a fun beach activity that combines the likes of wake boarding, surfing and bits of skate boarding.  A skim board is a much, much smaller version of a surfboard without the fins.  Flat on the bottom, the board is used to just barely skim over the surface of the water at the shore break for short distances.  A skim boarder will run parallel with the beach, picking up speed until they finally drop the board in front of themselves and jump aboard!  It seems easy and it’s that hard to learn, but it takes balance and agility.  Once on the water, your main task is not hitting anyone and seeing how far you can go.  Skim boarding is a great way to enjoy lightly populated beaches.
