Has anyone used the laguna body glove skimboard?

Question

I cant surf, because i dont live near a ocean. I just skimboard in lakes,but im tired of using my wood skimboard, so I looked it up and its pretty cheap for a foamie. It says the weight limit is 240-250 is that right? It doesn't seem right to me. I weigh 180, and i'm not sure if it would work or not. Any other suggestions for skimboards 80 to 100 dollars would be nice.

Answer 1

i've never used it but the 2 reviews on amazon say it's not a bad board and to get it especially for the price it's at. i say go for it. the weight range is definitely incorrect as it is 44 inches long and a bigger board would probably be needed to remain buoyant for that weight/height. your weight should be fine. i say go for it.

Answer 2

ive never heard of body glove you might be better off looking at zap skimboards

Answer 3

hey I Love skimboarding same as you, you can get fiberglass skimboards also much better and the do have carbon fiber but those are over 400$ Fiber glass ones cost in your range depending on what type you get

I wan't to go to california Laguna beach aliso and try real wave skimboarding like surfing seems fun

good luck!
