I skimmed in Cabo for the first time at the end of June. Here are my impressions:

The beaches are incredibly steep, stumble one direction or the other and you will find a spot to skim that is...

I am an engineer. I graduated from collegein 2001. I run/partial owner of a small civil/structural engineering firm.

It is a good degree, but to echo everyone else's opinion above. Being a tech...

Quick itemized report on my trip:

1- The swells were huge for most of the trip. There was definitely nice hollow shore break right in front of our hotel, but I never caught a wave there. To catch...

Man I wish I could eat like you guys. McD's makes me feel like death.

Quick Snacks: Apples, banananananas, almonds, string cheeze, protein shake.

I'm going to Cabo tomorrow (woot!) I have loosely followed Victoria's, shipping info to take my boards on planes in the past.

Generally speaking, wrap them in a towel, bumper the rails, nose and...

Sinking right after you wrap is probably due to a lack of speed as you get to the wave.

I was out this past weekend, and was having the same kind of problems. I was reaching the waves but on most...

I am like the OP, I don't post that much, but I do read quite a few threads. The OP's questions seem strange to me. Is there any reason that the sport would not sustain it's current economic model?...

Thanks Wardovision!

I'll throw in my snorkeling stuff too.

What about fishing? I have a couple travel rods and lots of saltwater gear, would I have luck along the beaches at first light, and...

Yeah, I'm bragging.

I am heading down there with a big group of friends and my wife. We are staying at a resort at the east end of Medano beach. Callied "reooo" or something, I didn't book the...

Along these lines. What if surf-boards didn't have fins? Surfing finless is becoming a "thing" now. Watch the video I attached. You can draw a lot of parallels between skimming and the way this guy...

You said you could run straight. So, turn to your left and run straight.

Problem solved?

Hey there.

I haven't posted in a while, but was reading through this thread and thought I would lend a little insight from an "old guy's" perspective. I am a father myself, my oldest is 7. I...

Watched it twice last night. It was mind blowing, melt your face off, and every other good expletive about sports movies.

The first time through, I was a little surprised by the music, as...

Get out from behind that pencil. I can't see you.

I skim in WA. I don't do any/much flat land. There is no "skim scene" per se but there is potential. Here are some threads about it that I searched up for you. I haven't skimmed this summer yet at...

Hip pain is due to weaknesses in certain muscles in your hips, causing other muscles to get strained by working in a way they are not supposed to. Benwa shows it can be overcame by repetetive...

Went to Maui last July. There is a lot of places on that Island to find skim. Also don't be worried about big beach, there is more than one spot there to skim. It is a long beach. You won't intrude...

Come to WA sometime between July 15th and Nov 15th, and we can make it happen:D

We have another fish here, called Steelhead. Which is a lot like salmon, but with a slightly milder taste. We catch...

This thread makes me hungry! I live near the WA coast, and our sushi restaurants for the most part are not that good. The demand on the coast is too low (sparsely populated, hickish areas). Seattle...

Wow awesome stuff. A very cool trip to be sure. I recognize a bunch of the areas on the western OP since that is where I am from. Is that lake called Yahoo Lake on the upper C-dub? The trail with the...

I did it last Friday afternoon on my 5 year old daughter's boogie board. My kids were out in the yard using their plain old slip and slide. They were running and jumping on it with her slick bottom...

Glad you are having a good time skimming. I have some beginner tips, since it seems like I have been a beginner for about 4 years. If you are skimming on a flatish beach, you should be able to do...

Yeah good point, I'll have my wife or the nanny do it, that route would probably work better. Low-cut top, and big smile. Then of course we need to make sure the person taking our bags is a...

Yeah, I think looking for the dumbest check in person is probably going to be my best bet.

So, I'm going to Maui in 11 days. I'll be staying there for 15 days. 8 days on Kaanapali Beach (Whaler ground floor), and 7 more in a house in N. Kihei. I am super-stoked for this vacation, my work...
