Why do you skim?

[KrisStone]

Are you a girl or just being funny?

[4evrskim::Ali]

I skim because I hate Tourists.

[KrisStone]

Hey Ali whats up man?

[Takao]

Are you a girl or just being funny?

[ZapBulletRider]

[Takao]

I skim for the fun of it really... its a challenge... and I like the warrior mindfulness that comes with it... there is just something about being on the beach and being super aware... and also being aware of whats going on on the coast on any given day... being one with the tides and the hunt for skim is fun too... I love being impecable... there is always more to learn with this sport and the more I do it the better I feel.... plus its good exercise.... every time I am in the ocean I feel like I get clean... its different from a shower feeling... chilling with Grandmother ocean is the best...

i have a hard time explaining why i love skimming so much to non-skimmers, i think kai hayes said it best in the foreverskim interview, something like "it's that feeling of being in control but not being in control"

and of course there's all the other factors, i love the beach, it's a fun way to get exercise, and i love the core vibe in skimboarding

[jake]

becuase it's fun. and better than a team sport

[jake]

oh and; its not like skating where you have to be able to tre flip down a 132414 set to get noticed, it's still pretty grassroots...

[flskimboarder]

i skim to get nut rashes

[autonomous]

can't masturbate all the time...or maybe you can. frack skimming!

[rusty buick driver]

i skim because its fun

[idrathrbskimmin]

wurd

[Jasen]

because its hard(you cant just catch on, so not a lot do it), and i feel unique skimmin. its fun when u wrap or air(even if uve done it 1 million times)

its just spectacular...

[seesquared]

i agree with it being hard. it was fun sand skimming for a while because of just the gliding and speed but i saw one kid do a one step and skim out to a wave and wrap and it was all over from there. ive been trying to learn to one step for a while now. i got the motion down but im working on speed and trust me i have paid my dues to the sand and shells in the process. but knowing im getting closer to being to able to get out and wrap a wave is awesome. it never gets old and like mentioned above, the fact thats is hard is a challenge and takes a lot of work but once there, amazing

[NC Scibs]

I skim because I enjoy compound fractures.

[Jasen]

o yes, and broken wrists which need operations <----in my case

[skimnj973]

i skim because i love getting hit in the shins

[Harrison Welsh]

i started for no reason. i got 100 bucks for my 10th birthday and just for the heck of it spent it all down to the last penny on a zap bat. oregon, so no tax, so literally like 100 bucks flat. haha. then i spent like 2 months just getting the run and step down on a flat sandy lakeshore, with my dad driving the boat by for waves. and then as soon as i got home i discovered skimonline, realized there were waves to ride and how much more fun it could get, and i think my dad took me to laguna first thing. and since i'd seen the pros and the spots online, i saw people and skimmed with them, talked to them, and just realized how close knit it was, and i was just having fun.

now its just that squirrely feeling of you floating on water that makes me want to shout.

man i love it.

[baksideollie33]

I skim because it is fun...

[Walruz996]

For the fame

[coleberr]

i skim because its wicked fun you can screw around with it fewer reefs to worry about than surfing no sharks lets me exercise everything without thinking about it as exercise and currents are less of a problem or scare factor
