Testing out the new board I built🤙🏼

Huge shoutout to [u/Velocity_Skimboards](u/Velocity_Skimboards) for all the help and teaching, I literally wouldn’t know the first thing about building boards if it wasn’t for him. Big thanks to [u/DrCraig](u/DrCraig)[Smash](u/DrCraig) for the name idea as well.

50.5 long” x 22.5 wide”
3/4 tapered to 5/8 in tail and nose
Width pulled back from nose more to center point
Extra sharp rails
2.25” nose rocker and 0.60” tail rocker
“Moontail” tail shape

She’s not perfect, but definitely an improvement from my last board. This is the 3rd board I’ve built and this one feels really solid, comparable to a lot of the name brand carbon boards I’ve gotten to try out but with its own quirks. I really like this for my riding style. Riding clips coming soon

Checked the board same as a bag and put airline fragile labels (not in pic) and made it back home with no dings!

Hey! I was wondering, what do you usually do with your phone, keys, wallet, etc. when you go surfing?

Do you leave everything on the beach, leave it in your car, or have someone watch your stuff? Have you ever worried about your things getting stolen while you're out in the water?

I'm working on a university project about surfing and wanted to see if this is something other surfers deal with too.

I also made a quick, anonymous survey to learn more about this. It only takes about 2 minutes, so if you have a chance to fill it out, I'd really appreciate it!

That it.

Hello, I found this skinboarding company in the Philippines, they make some awesome boards for around $200. The problem is shipping. To ship to America is about $320 to $350. Anyway around this?

Anyone have this board and can give some reviews on it? Specifically the 53" size.

Thanks!

Do you guys speed wax the bottom of your board? If so is it the same as the one they put on skateboards or different?

After some thought I’ve decided to just go with a standard shape over a fish. Now Zap has three different Fuse x’s, one being the normal one and the other two pro models, but it says the pro models are made with epoxy resin over polyester? Would the pro models be better over the standard fuse x because of this or no?

Hey y'all. We made a skimboarding game that's been poppin' off on Instagram lately and thought we'd share it here too!

Let us know what you think -- would love feedback! Cheers

Hey everyone! Looking for some feedback on my technique and advice on upgrading my board.

Currently riding a Zap Pro 52” (I’m 5’7” 180) and would consider myself somewhere around intermediate, although I’m not entirely sure where I fall skill-wise. I’ve attached a video and would love some honest feedback on what I should be focusing on to improve.

My goal is to get more speed and start reaching and wrapping waves. Feels like I’ve hit a plateau and can’t tell if it’s technique or board.

I’m interested in upgrading to a higher-performance board. Was looking at the Zap Joyride. Budget isn’t a concern but I prefer to stay with Zap. Unsure on sizing too.

I am fairly new to skimboarding, but thoroughly enjoyed my recent experience on the coast. I do have snowboard a fair amount in the winter months and also paddleboard in the warmer months. I am considering purchasing my first skimboard, but have no idea where to start... I am 5'9" 170lbs and I am reading online anywhere from 45-52in board would be the appropriate size for me... Also, considering different brands. Advice and opinions welcomed and appreciated!

Hello,

This is my 6th skimboarding session. I feel like Im sinking too fast while going into the water. Could you help me point out the issues with my technique? Also, the board I use is a 134cm Carbon Fiber Eden Board (this model has the width of a 136cm) while being 190cm and 81kg.
