[DanZO]

meyer without a doubt look em up...affordable and you'll rip like beaker

[UmmmmIdk]

no no no u have it all wrong. u are supposed to use a plank of wood to skim like beaker.

[BATMAN]

ultra

[nasolovesyou]

He's right. The Laguna life guards used planks of wood back in the day, and that's how skimboarding was invented. So if you want to be as good as them, and look cool and old school, take his advice. ^^

large wedge

[joemotocross06]

i heard the foamie isnt too good.. but ive never tried em

[Walruz996]

Wedge is better then a foamie.

[RexSkimmer]

wedge, it's lighter and faster

[skimsurfallday]

thanks but one more thing: what pads are the best? most are almost the same.

[ejb]

vic foamie prob thats what i have but im gettin a slotstik now cuz ive grown out of it, astrodeck pads are good,

[Walruz996]

I don't notice a difference between any pads, it's mainly preference.

[MDskimmerMAtt]

DO NOT PUT PADS ON A FOAMIE OR WEDGE!!!!!
seriously you will just be wasting your money because in less than a year or so you will want to get a better board.

[ejb]

haha i wish i realized that, i put pads on my foamie and i didnt have it but a month

[Robert Huffman]

yea, it is a waste of money to put pads on a board like that

[RexSkimmer]

just use wax

[skimsurfallday]

ok i probably will, hell i dont even have pads on my surfboard. i dont really like them on surfboards so ill go without them until i get a pro or polyvac maybe?

[Robert Huffman]

thats a good idea i think

[skimsurfallday]

thanks you guys are pretty fast at posting new things.

wavezone

Hey don't knock the Wavezones. It woulda been nice to have one today with all that wind in gulf.

Damn Exile flies like a construction paper.

[zzzz1111]

I'd go with the wedge because I have the foamie and it sucks. Don't get me wrong it's a good board for a beginner getting into waves, but it's as heavy as a rock and the plastic bottom is just plain stupid! And if you plan on getting at least decent at skimboarding, the foamie isn't the board for you. I've had mines for barely 1 month (not even, like 3 weeks) and I ordered the new paulo board just last week. It's a big jump from a foamie but I'll own on the board sooner or later ;) ! Good luck!

the only person that can "own" on a paulo board is....Paulo.

Apparently not, because I have one right now and its light as hell. Dont get me wrong, it flexes like a wet piece of cardboard, but mine is lighter than every other exile/sol/slottie ive used.

[gulfster813]
