Skimboarding

The earliest records of skim boarding date back to the 1920’s. The best board for beginners are square ones, though they come in circles, ovals and teardrops also. The best size to start with in most cases stands about mid-chest. The principal of skimboarding is to hydroplane across the thin water of a receding wave, though tricks can be done in bigger waves. When riding out on the water on a skimboard, tricks and flips are attempted when coming into contact with an incoming wave. The real trick is in the landing.
