Skimboard- Which is the best shape and size?

Question

Im 13 years old, 5 foot 4, 105 pounds. I know how to skim board, i can hit the lip pretty good but i am still kind of learning. Im looking into getting a nice board. Ive been looking at the Victoria Grommet. If there are any real good skimmers that know there boards, please help me pick a nice and good board for me please.

Answer 1

For your weight and experience, maybe you should get the Zap pro medium of small would be very good. Don't use the Zap bat. Even though I love it, it's not as hardcore for wave tricks and should stick to small waves and flatland tricks. THe victoria and exile s-glasses are good but very expensive...Hope I helped!!

Answer 2

um if you are planning on riding the waves i think the best is a victoria gromet, that is what i have its pretty good,and if your planning on sand surfing just skiding i sudjust a zap bat,or a victoria woody.those are good if your just learning

Answer 3

well it just matters how serious you are and how much you want to spend

a zap wedge is good and inexpensive but if you want more performance get the Victoria grommet but you might out grow it soon

better to get a bigger board than a smaller one

or if you have the money get the  small exile carbon pro

idk if you already have one but arch bars and traction pads are also helpful
