Answer 3

Skimboard.

THey're prety cheap and aren't too hard to learn on.

The easiest way to start off is when a small wave has come onto the flat part of the sand you should push the board along with your hands and run behind it, Then jump on with your knees to get started.

Once you get better you can run along standing up, throw the baord down and jump on it. YOu can also do it on your stomach.

Answer 4

there skimboards

Answer 5

Skimboards are super easy to ride. After a wave breaks on the shore, it leaves a half inch of water on the sand. You run through that while carrying the board, then slide the board onto the water and jump on it. Advanced skimboarders will ride/skim into another wave and ride it. But most skimmers just ride the half inch of water on the shore.

My mom bought me one when I was 12. I think it only cost $30 but that was 15 years ago. I'd expect they cost at least $50 these days.

Answer 6

Skimboard, the price can vary a good one can be 15-30 dollars( at least in san diego) You can learn in youtube its easy and fun.

Or get someone that knows how to do it. Just give the time the right time to time it on time.
