Not many beach-goers are fans since we have a tendency to dominate an area in spouts of aggressive spurts that typically get little kids ran over or clipped in the ankle/shin. I love skim boarding!

If only I went to the beach more then once a year D; Luckily I can skim when it rains a lot and a stream floods on the grass. No waves, but if it rains enough, water runs down a hill and you can go down that. These videos are making me pumped for this year tho!

@@jimtwomey If the beach doesn't have rocks in with the sand where the waves crash YES. If you live at the beach then you should easily be able to find some skimboards in a surf shop. Don't get a wooden one since you already know what you are doing pretty much. Will cost like 100-200$ depending on your size and preference.

Back in the day, we used to make our own skimmers (sand surfers) out of quarter-inch plywood. We'd cut them round with a beveled edge and then coat them in fiberglass. The kind of boards they have today didn't even exist and we could even imagine riding like they do today. Well, it's been many years since the 70's but I've been a surfer for years since then, but I'd love to try skimming like this!

Another thing is that the waves aren’t big enough. The one good thing is that the lake does provide some decent flat boarding on the watery sand.
