skim boards are pretty fun I went to Oregon to visit my Gramps and I found one there at a surf shop. really fun, kinda hard to learn you just gotta take risks and not care about falling down. The one I have is about 1/2 or 3/4 as big as a shortboard surfboard. you see them going on the wave and stuff but you have to be a pro or somthing. heres a pic of some

It's easy enough to make one, u just have to find the shape u want and do a lot of sanding, thats what all my frinds have done. People can do 1080s and stuff on ones they made

i saw skimboarding once on bluetorch as well and they were flipping of waves and stuff, it looks sick, is it difficult to do?
