Skim Endurance.

[AerialSkimmerBrad]

I was out almost a good 5 hours today. Im just wondering, how long does everyone else's regular session usually last? Mine is usually about 3 - 4 hours. What about everyone else?

[Kyle Thoresen]

It depends on the day. If its good and I dont have to be anywhere I stay for around 3-5 hours. If its shitty and I'm lazy or its cold or something that makes me whimper like a little girl its usually around 2 hours.

[dEUZ]

like he said, it depends, once i got to skim for 8 hours straight, but the average must be 2-3 hours.

[Tad M.]

depends on teh waves and whatnot..i'll skim for 45 minutes before work fi i can, and then there's days i've skimmed from 10am til 8 or so (gulf sessions where you were stoked if ANY waves were out in the summer)

[Pack A Bowl]

all week i've been skimming 2 - 3 hours, i am finished with highschool tommorrow and i'll be skimming more... but once summer starts my local beach doesn't let any skimmers or things of that sort untill after 5... which sucks. if high tide stayed around longer i would too..

Why don't you just go to a different part of the beach or a different beach? When I go out to the beach it's usually for a good amount of time. I was out yesterday for about 6-7 hours. But when it sucks or something just a couple hours.

[Pack A Bowl]

other beaches around here would cost $ . and my local one just sucks, even if no one was using the water or if i was at the end of the beach not around people, the lifeguards would kick ya out anyways.
i do ocasionaly travel about 45 mins up north for a steeper incline to bigger waves and warmer water... but the people im with can't last more than 2 hours really, so i never stay there that long...

[idrathrbskimmin]

2-5 hrs

like wed.

[Harrison Welsh]

2 - 5 hours.

skimmed a good 4 hours yesterday, had to stop when it was too dark to see.

[Rockporter9]

I stay as long as the skim is good.

[can-can]

from about 9 am to 6

[ballen]

if its good like this past tuesday i'll be out for 8-9 hours. if it sucks i'll make the best of it and stay out for 3-4 hours.

[boardhead jim]

for an old fart i'm a marathon mutherfuker
i only get one day a week off work
some days i'll be out thru 3 different groups of skimmers morning noon and night

[Scrub]

it normally sucks so about 2 hours, if its good like 5. in sc my sessions last longer. at monteribble i onlyt last but 1.5 hours bcuz it is too steep and powerful

[marcyman]

Hey Jim, were you out by the pier this past week? I'm a semi-old fart just learning to skimboard maybe you saw me bust my ass a few times. So my skim time is limited, lol.

[Kyle Thoresen]

like wed.

Wednesday was zesty and very cold. But the waves overpowered the cold. But then the rocks were hurting my toseeesss

[Gimme the Loot.]

ill stay as long as its fun. whether it be 15 mintus or 6 hours.

[Doctor Delicious]

A usually skim for about 32 hours. Then when my legs are all worn out and my toes are raw, I go to the local leg store ("Legs For Less") and buys myself a new pai to get through the rest of the weekr. I can only do this twice a week though because I work.

[Dzan]

2 hours tops if I'm alone and it's firing. 3 or 4 hours if I have people skimming with me I can talk to and stay not bored.

[veniceskim4]

I usually skim about 6 or 7 hours.

[AerialSkimmerBrad]

my local one just sucks, even if no one was using the water or if i was at the end of the beach not around people, the lifeguards would kick ya out anyways.

Yeah we have something kinda like that down here but I just dont think the lifeguards really care down here because on the posted rules on the sign it says no skimboarding, but as long as you go to the right of the lifeguard post they dont really say anything and everyone pretty much ran this beach over with the amount of skimmers now out at South. The waves have been pretty good around there. JC was fun today tho.

[rideaskim]

it depends on the conditions sometimes ill skim for like 5 hours and sometimes ill just skim for 30 min and then just chill on the beach hopeing for better waves

[850skimmer]

If im skimming alone at tops its 3hrs but has to be really good. If it sucks when im along prob a hour 1/2. When im with friends i'll skim for about 2hrs least but norm its about 3-6hrs. If im off that day with friends and its good as heck then... all damn day.

I'm norm one of the people whos 1st there and the last one to leave.

[SteveTaylor]

i an only go in hour intervals. and the i need a soda. or some ice cream to cool me down. i usually like to watch kyle skim while i am working on my sex tan

[ZapBulletRider]

geez, to be young again. I'm lucky if I get more than an hour. Has nothing to do w/ endurance and everything to do w/ responsibilities. Every now and then I'll get lucky and get a day where I can go for a few hours. They're few and far between, unfortunately.

[Max Shapiro]

last summer my dad left for work at 7 every day, had me at the beach by 8 and then i stayed till 6-7pm, that lasted about 2 weeks after which i couldnt walk

[Scrub]

sux to be old like u ZBR. hah

[AerialSkimmerBrad]

lol, haha.

[kcskimkid]

i usually go all day. i do need to refuel at lunch time though. but yeah, once you get past that one point where you think you are too tired but keep going then it seems like you can skim forever. the only thing that will get me away from waves is if im hungry, hot date, or something other more important than skimboarding. and even thats not a guarantee.

[AerialSkimmerBrad]

Yeah, I know what you mean, like I'll stay there and I'll keep going and going and sometimes I'll work myself so hard that by the end of the session, Im not even running hard at all.. Im like sloshing to the waves and dont perform as well, but my brain keeps telling me I want to ride another wave, but my body is so beaten at that point that it just cant go any further, at that point I leave beacause I cant do anything else, then I just wait til the next day and start all over again..

[kcskimkid]

the only way to do it man..go big or go home.

[AerialSkimmerBrad]

yeah, I know, I sometimes at the beaten stage get some huge bursts, but then I fall out again.. by time I get home I need like an 8 hour nap or go to sleep til 12 the next day..
