Welcome to the Skim Online Message Boards.
holy hot damn
it's not the board, it's the rider
My buddy Amos rides a J-Gordon Blade ( im pretty sure its the same shape) Its dirty for flat land tricks and he still kills it on waves with it. definitely impressed me considering its made out of wood
Signature
the switchblade is an oval
I would aspire to be me if I wasn't already
Yeah you're right it is a oval board. But now that I found the wood fish can ride switch (backwards) I sometimes put the switchblade logo on it just for fun. I guess I shouldn't it makes it confusing.Originally Posted by mjs

There is no reason to post a picture of a broken board on a forum, skimboards are not indestructible so no one should act like they should be. A more appropriate place to put a picture of a broken skimboard is in an email to the manufacturer, they will probably even give you a deal on a new one if you still want to represent that company.

Mmmm that J-Gordon... I'm kinda curious on how well/long the shape holds, how flexible the board is, and its overall durability in reference to rocks and other typical factors. I definitely want one but am debating between the wood board or the Velocity collaboration.
You've got that nasty bounce.

wtf? my broken board picture is gone. that's weird.
yeah manny i think either way you are gonna get a sick ass board. the velocity one looks fun as hell, and i love my jgordon it throws buckets and sits in the pocket like nothing i've ever ridden before. you live in florida tho so i think you should get the velocity version because wood and small waves don't mix too well. oh and on flexibility, this thing is really really flexible but in the best way possible. like you can torque a frontside out as hard as you can and the board springs back into the wave with more speed. oh and it's a solid piece of fracking wood, so i have a feeling it's gonna last a long time.
it's not the board, it's the rider

mine too... however mine was accompanied by a new and unbroken board..
guess this new pic will have to do.
yeah i don't see the big deal. if it would've been an apex in the original picture, then everyone would be fine with it. but since it was an exile...
crazy kids with their SOMB logic
Holy mother of God that has got to be thee worst back pad placement I have ever seen, move that sucker back about 4 inches.mine too... however mine was accompanied by a new and unbroken board..
guess this new pic will have to do.

haha thats my roomates board... guess thats where hes most comfortable with the placement.
TBH you probably should have spread yours out instead of keeping it closed together

Thank you so much. That definitely confirmed my initial thought. I'm glad your enjoying it, the shape looks hella fun.

agreed, seriously what the frack
it's not the board, it's the rider
all the years ive been skimming ive never had an issue of it all together like that. what benefits do you see??
more of your tail is covered with the grippy traction instead of the unreliable grip from the wax closer to the rails. if you fracked your footing up, you could recover a lot easier(in my experience) than if it were closed

this made me laugh out of how true it is.
btw shawn that gopro vid was sick.
Mother of God this is insane. It looks so whackymine too... however mine was accompanied by a new and unbroken board..

You need to put that way farther down and expand it! damnmine too... however mine was accompanied by a new and unbroken board..

toe-gaff
anyone have an Exile pro shape with the freak domke pad? trying to see what its like in the rear of the board. thanks
I find it funny how everyone who take a pix of their skim has their feet in the shot. So for that reason I make sure I don't do that! LOL......
