J-Gordon just showed up today... Thank you sir. This old man can't wait to try it out this weekend. Waiting on that old Vic, should be here next week. All are ready for a fresh coat of wax to be applied. Picked up the Carbon Fiber wave zone on a whim. Was selling on ebay as a new "second". Price was right, so figured what the heck. Worst case, I don't like it, and it will make some kid a good board. Has a steep curve to it and should probably do well in the chop we have up here in the north east. We'll see....

The tailpad on your Vic needs to be moved way back! You aren't going to have any control wrapping or riding with it that far up. You want to move it as far back as possible so you can take control of your whole board. It'll help tons.

Sadly, I realize that now. Waiting for the replacement pad so I can take that one off and put a new one on...

Try a hairdryer, (don't get the board too hot though) and pull the pad up real slow........then put it on wax paper if you don't have another board to put it on.

Do a write up of how you like it.

[801skim]

Do a write up of how you like it.

Ok, I got "The Blimp" shape and It is awesome especially for the price! I thought it would be heavy but it was actually pretty light (but I would still prefer this board in the wind). It floated allot which was a really nice surprise. I must say that I was delighted with how awesome it felt Sideslipping out on a wood board and getting the wave. It was possibly the best price+performance+fun ratio you could get on a skim because I now know that wood rides much different than foam but still works well. If you wanted to try wood and have a good time I would recommend because its reasonably priced.

P.S. I contacted them for the checkered board design which might cost a few dollars more for a custom design and take a couple weeks but that's what I did.

[801skim]

Here's the bottom.....

.... Black is not suggest for a skimboard because bottom gets scratched and the wax looks nast..... but now I know

Im waiting for white Follow the tripod pads, bottom colour of the board is dark green (not to dark but much more darker than the top of the board). Bag is from a brand "Drop" from Chile, very cheap and quality is very good.

Thats all guys sorry for my english!

I'm new to skim and ordered a vic foamie and have a dumb question(s). I see alot of you have stickers on the tops of your boards. What type of stickers are you guys / should i use? I imagine they are pretty thin if not more of a film. Are they like the decals you use on model cars or planes or are they just your regular car/bumper stickers? Pvc? Vinal? How are they waterproof? Best websites to order them from? I actually bought a new car in February and still haven't found the perfect sticker for yet. I hadn't put a whole lot into it just something I'd like to stumble upon but I'd really like to put a little me style graphics onto my board.

Thanks in advance.

They are just vinyl stickers, are far as I know all vinyl stickers are some what water proof. Just don't get the ones that have paper inside and vinyl outside.

Board is pure awesome. As said above, just be careful and remember to put your back foot way back or be ready for the consequences of having a red bottom

[Skimobx13]

That exile is sexy!!!

[Georgia Jeff]

Sweet board. I just custom ordered a Dude Cruise. It should be here in a few days. I can't wait!!!!

[morg811]

Looks so sexy

poor pad placement is a "new member" mistake

[tmac]

Tommy you're a good dude n that board is sick, but to me it looks like the W is a little wide for my tastes. Personal preference n all, but I find if the kickers aren't horizontal to each other it messes me up.
Board looks great though, enjoy!

[tommygallagher]

i like it wide, and i have size 12 feet so it doesn't really feel odd. i just want a non choppy day before i go off to school so i can actually get an opinion about the board.

[tmac]

i like it wide, and i have size 12 feet so it doesn't really feel odd. i just want a non choppy day before i go off to school so i can actually get an opinion about the board.

Shit man, with feet that size you could probably do pretty well even without the board :)
I was wondering alright about the excelsior size, I think you've answered that question :)
I've a cruise ship here n I'm finding it hard to snap round quickly, but on liners there's no comparison. Hope you catch some good clean ones soon, chop is very un-dude for the dude cruise. I've the scars to prove it!

[tommygallagher]

well i just wanted a boat so i got the biggest size, plus i live on the gulf coast as of right now.

[mjs]

the biggest size in 3/4ths is the best. it floats like a surf board

[tommygallagher]

oh it does. I still wanted the 5/8ths nose and tail though, seems like its gonna help. At least it did with my rocket fish i had before.

shit man you wanna see an ancient slotty?
check this thing out, shaped in 1990 by Adrian Prince himself. my friend got it at a flee market for 50 bucks last year. my exile snapped at the beginning of the summer so i've been riding this every day for the past few months. i've gotten by far the most memorable rides/barrels of my life on this magic carpet. it's a whopping 23" wide and 51" tall, 3/4" thick with beautifully tapered rails. this thing puts dude cruises to shame.

Slotty XL pro carbon. First brand new board in 6 years. this is the picture they sent me, it shipped yesterday. ought to show up just in time for the weekend and possible laguna or la jolla sessions. I'm going to upload pics when i get it and put the new pads on. Getting transferred (temporarily) to SD has really gotten me stoked back into skimboarding, hopefully i can't get some permanent orders here next year.
