so i drove my brother to dewey so he could watch the east coast skim boarding competition this week and i gotta say that before i thought the sport was kind of pointless. After watching them for a day I thought "how hard can it be?" and tried my brother's board out for myself. I gotta give them credit. Apart from what a pound of sand in my swim trunks feels like, I found out that it's a pretty difficult sport. Just thought i'd share...
skim boarding competition
-
yea its fun once you get the hang of it. like anything, it takes practice to be good.
-
I think i may have to try gettin into it
-
Be careful not to jump on the board too hard. You might end up with sandy face or crack and have people on the beach doing this

Word!
My daughter's boy friend was skim boarding and made it look like fun. All I got out of it was a face of sand and soar legs from accidentally doing a split!
-
haha i know the face full of sand all too well. i threw the board down, ran to jump on, completely missed the board, and... well physics dictated that the rest of my body wanted to keep going forward...

I use to be pretty good at it a years ago, but as with everything else, the progression has gotten out of control and the kids doing it now are crazy. If I were to go skim now, I would end up so screwed probably. Eff getting old.
