yep, during flat spells i always bust out the skimboard. They're fun as hell to dick around on. There's a beach on the N shore of MA that is perfect for skimming. Big ol' waves break right on the sure and its at the perfect angle. Very fun to do when there's no waves to be had.

Skimboarding is pretty big in Vancouver. We have NO waves except if you take a ferry and drive 6 hours, so we skimboard down at the beach. Its pretty fun, they set up triple kink rails and stuff it gets crazy.

skimboarding is so much fun. it's great to do when there's no waves or when the water's freezing cold. plus it's good exercise.

its not super hard to do a backflip on one
when u get into the water turn the board sideways so ur like sidesliding and grab both rails and when u hit the wave just flip back and keep holding hte board under ur feet

HAhaha ohhh that Dave Levin. What a movie maker.

Well, it's fun, espically when you get those ankleslapper days where it's just no good. Summer time fun.

Check this board out by Victoria Skim:

Go to Boards>Wombat

The thing is part surf, part bodyboard, part surf board. Soft top and soft rails. 200-250 bucks. I'm getting one next summer for the beach...things golden on little 1-2 foot beachbreaks.
