Question

For skimboarders, How long did it take before you actually started skimming the waves?

Answer 1

To tell the truth It only took me two weeks of practicing and got it. Much easier if you already know how to sand skim perfectly.

Answer 2

about 3 times like as in days of learning

Answer 3

You should first get yourself confident in skimming the sand.  Then once you are good with that, start skimming the sand into the waves.  About two weeks after I got my skim board I was skimming the waves.
