[Rob G]

Who has heard of them?
I ran across a board on craigslist and they had a link to their myspace page.

"We are pleased to introduce our new line of Kevlar skimboards for 2006, that could possibly be the best performing boards on the market."

awfully high opinion of themselves

It's not like they said they are...but "possibly"

[RexSkimmer]

i once tried skimming with a desktop if that counts

[hobo]

its a name; its not like zap skimboards actually zap you?

[Walruz996]

Do exile skimboards make your friends abandon you?

[Chrith]

Jake had an incident when he rode a "cousin frack" skimboard

yes i have sunk to taking cheap shots at jake. so what

If you own a Zap...they will...

[Gimme the Loot.]

i think its silly.

[melogold]

If you own a Zap...they will...

he wasnt talking about zaps though.....?

[jcon217]

hey melo, found any good rivers yet?

[nikoSkim]

I wrote them on myspace, and they asked for my addy so they can send me a free one to test....just kidding, they told me they are still working on pics, and specs, and prices, but they should be up soon! What if, just what if they are better than your average skimboard?? huh?

[lovestoskim]

don't believe the hype

[nikoSkim]

I ride a Zap, so..... maybe when I take my four days in Cali I'll buy an exile, but for now I'm good, but it would be awesome if the square is just crazy maneuverable, and super light and floats out like 100 yards, and it automatically does 180's on top of breaks, and it as a loud horn for when people decide to stop right in front of your line to look for shells. and some spikes on the edge for those little kids who always want to run infront of you when you are running to hit a wave you have been waiting ten minutes for. o.k just a little overboard, but i hope they are decent.

[surfdavenport]

Retractable spikes. It hurts when it hits your ankles bad enough.

I think I might know who this guy is. He was in a Cramik POD a long time ago...

I thought at first it was, maybe it still is. But the archbar in that pic, and the one in the myspace are different. Maybe he just had to change the pads, I dunno...

[Rob G]

I am pretty sure its not the same dude. The guy who you are thinking of rides baker boards I believe. Unless there was some falling out and he went his own way.

[Teddy Parker]

There are so many Daves in skimboard manufcaturing geez. Rob G I think you may be thinking of Daver from Baker Skimboards, who owns it. The Dave in that picture is a different one, who shapes his own skims no one has ever really heard of. This coming from the man who took that photo, whom is my bud.

I think it is. Check the hairline man. I also think he's in the Cramik Skimfest write-up...

[chrisadkins85]

Looks like a squared off tip and rear. Wonder how that works out. I havn't seen and with both ends squared off like that. Anyone else?

[jake]

[steve-o]

[skim vixen]

i'm going to pick one up.. friend of a friend makes them

[skim vixen]

was thinking of making a wakesurfer out of the squared tipped one

[CreamOtheCrop]

I saw his add on craigslist also, and bought one of his carbon boards. It is pretty awesome. For the 160 i paid for it i would say it was definately worth the price. Me and my friend just tried it out today and it worked great for us. The guy makes them in his garage, and only the fiberglass boards have the square nose. I'm pretty new to wave skimming, but this board is about twice the size of my old woody, and still weighs less. This is a really long post, but i say its an awesome deal. I don't have much to compare the ride with, but its a good board for me.
