Answer 3

It's a skim board.  They generally run $25-$80 or so, depending on where you buy them.  

Basically it's just a 1/4" thick piece of plywood that has been cut to a particular shape and painted with a design and if you want to try it out without much work you can make one yourself for about $10.

Answer 4

Skim Boarding

Answer 5

I believe it is a skim board from the way you are describing it. They sell them in most surf shops.

Answer 6

he was skimboarding... and his board is called a bonzer

Answer 7

The sport is called skimboarding, and the board is called a skimboard. No surprise there. Look it up on Wikipedia, they have a pretty detailed description of how it works.

Answer 8

That's definitely skimboarding. Difficult at first but a lot of fun once you get used to it.

Answer 9

its called skim boarding n its just a plain wooden skim board

Answer 10

Everyone is correct. Skimboarding, or sand sliding, or sand surfing.

The wooden ones are primarily to "skim" across the surface of flat water areas.
