Need rider or two to test skims

**bcwinn** · 03-27-2012, 06:02 PM

I am a small manufacturer of skimboards in NJ - looking to get a qualified rider or two in order to provide feedback on how to improve design and materials. If you are interested, please contact me at bcw@bcwinn.com. I am looking for serious riders only... any video footage would be helpful. Also prefer someone in NJ, NY or Delaware.

I will provide boards.

Couple of recent boards can be seen at:

Thanks!

those boards actually look pretty good..have you been making boards for a while? the one thing that does look a little off though is the rocker on the epoxy board..it could just be me or the picture, but it looks like there is a ton of rocker in the nose, more than usual

I really like the shape! I would like to see some pictures of some bigger boards, like 52" or so. A fish would be sick too!

Togaff - thanks! Yes - it s the photo - does look pretty kicked in the nose. I have been making skims for a few years - mostly custom orders. Wanted to start getting some real feedback to help improve.

Thanks again!

Tanks TBABY - I did get your email... will hopefully get to them tonight. As for the sizes, i do have a 54" size as well... would love to do a fish... that is why i am reaching out to you guys! I have no limit to size or template... i have stuck with average board up till now. Looking for someone who knows their stuff to help with desings and materials, weight, etc.

I have a 54" template as well. I can make any size at this point. The shop that buys my boards like the 48".

I have had boards in Sunrise surfshop and Green Light - most boards sell between $225 and $275. My business has mostly been word of mouth and referrals. Trying to fine tune the product and take it to the next level.

if you're in Robbinsville that's a little under 20 miles from me. where are you usually skimming? or surfing, the fish surfboard looks nice. and i'm even between NJ and DE school time depending.
