What skimboard to buy???

Question

I've had a cheap, extremely wide skim board and I'm lookin for a better quality board. Any tips on the style to get? Width, length, wax or grip? Thanks!

Answer 1

It depends on how much money you have to spend. Victoria makes some good entry level boards such as the "foamie" which are the probably the best value if you aren't a professional skimboarder. This is a very light board that will help get you farther out across deeper water in order to start catching some good waves. They go for around $150. If you have the money then i would suggest using the Victoria "ultra" which is a very good all around board, but retails for about $250. For now just stick to the wax. When you develop your skills a little further you can always strip the wax off and add grips for around $70, but they aren't necessary.
