kicking sand can add like 3 pounds
the board has to be wet, first.
wetish sand helps, too
what is this i dont even
Thats why I went with 3/4" foam.
Sort of push it down instead of just letting it go.

kick sand all over the board.
i personally think the sand shit doesnt help anymore. i can drop with no sand in 18knot dead east winds and shit with a 5/8 no problem. just get your drop down it takes time u will get it. hope all goes well!

Yeah, I thought as soon as I got the exile I was gonna do good. PRetty much the opposite once I get on the board I can ride way better than my zap, but just the throw is hard to get used to now its almost like starting skimboarding all over!!! I guess it will just take a few sessions. Im also trying to practice no-stepping which is a pain.

kk, lol your running ... running .... running you go to drop as soon as the board hits the water your already getting on / walking whatever it is you do... onto the board without taking anymore steps.

hire a midget to sit on the top of it at all times
Hmm, but then that would leave you no place to stand.
Think out your solutions first.

well
You could always give ur exile to this kid i know named christian
well i guess u dont need anymore help now that u got it. but i always kick sand now probably because of habbit but if its windy i find holding your board down low and droping it low helps alot...
u just hav to angle your board right ont the drop

yeah, i hate using sand, it just makees me feel dependant or something, I just do a no-step and angle it so that the wind blows it down not up.

No-stepping is just hard for me I guess. I have to practice it.

Well, today when I went skimming.. I did nothing but get my drop and timing down to no step must have been 20-30 times in a row and now I can no step running pretty much full speed. Just gotta get the walking onto the board a little bit better instead of jumping. I am also getting on it from the back and not the side so I am losing no speed as apposed to getting on the board from the side and losing speed. I know you guys are probably like wow this kid is a d00f. Just exciting to me hah

I went from a Zap pro to an exile and it took me abour three sessions to get used to it. You'll just have to adjust and slowly get used to it.
