Tips for a beginning skim boarder?

Answer 1

WAX Lots of wax so if you get your laydown right you wont slip off. You should probably go somewhere where the waves are small or not breaking to practice on shore. Once you get your drop rigt you can go try what the other guy said but you need to get the basics down. And you dont have to put you back foot first thats really prefential.

Answer 2

i bought a wooden board before i ventured out into the water. get down basics.

run

DROP

slide

wax always helps. then maybe in a while you should get a better board and ride the white waves brahh

Answer 3

Get a good board. A lot og people get those cheep plastic boards. Get a good fiberglass board, put a stompad on it, and rub wax for your front foot. Start off running towards the ocean. DROP the board, not throw. Then jump onto the board landing back foot first then front. Keep weight evenly over center of board. Ride up and over the wave for starters. Try som surface 180's and mabey some airs. Thats where i am so far.

Answer 4

Practice when no one is looking LOL......practice makes perfect.
