Skimboarding?
So I'm going to the beach with the family soon. I have always wanted to skimboard. Every time we go to the beach I watch the "Young" people skimboarding up and down the beach.
So I decided to purchase a skimboard. I have never tried this so I figure I will either catch on or break an ankle.
Does anyone here skimboard? Any tips?

I used to try it when I was a kid. We didn't have skimboards so we made do with what we could find. It was fun up until your board went into the sand and you went flying off

I did it when I was out in California years ago. It's a good time, just make sure you start off slow and get the feel of it down before going balls out. I watched one guy fail terribly about 10 times in a row a couple weekends ago before finally quitting!

I didn't know what you were talking about, and based on this picture I thought it was about putting a surfboard in shallow water and pretending to be surfing.

I did it when I was a kid. It was fun and easy. I tried it as an adult and nearly broke my neck. Not so much fun any more.
That which does not kill me, better start fucking running.

This is skimboarding for those of you who are unfamiliar with it:

180 miles from the nearest beach and I found a whole stack of those for sale at Hudson's Salvage the other day. It looks like a real quick trip to the hospital to me.

I grew up in Panama City Fl and skim boarded a lot when I was a kid. Lots of fun.

Well after 3 days I have not broken anything. Today I had a 12 year old giving me lessons. I can ride without falling about 50% of the time. Just carrying the skim board gets you lots of looks. Maybe I should just walk up and down the beach with it.

Agreed, if TXCharlie can post a video of himself being pepper sprayed, you might just have a chance at winning. Originally Posted by Second Chance
