i want to get a skimboard that will let me ride the waves.

are those made of fiberglass?

is it better to have a longer one or a shorter one?

Answer 1

get a fiberglass skimboard. long one have more speed but cant turn that well and short ones have less speed but can turn really well...i prefer short fiberglass

Answer 2

The kind that comes with a free leg splint for when you injure your femur.

Answer 3

Fiber glass are the best.  You want a shorter board with a rounded nose.

a longerboard is a little easyer but you have less control over it.

Answer 4

If you want a board that will last a while in waves... then You should go with epoxy or carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is pricey, but great on being lightwieght and strong.

Longer is good....One that at least reaches your sternum when you stand it up. A good brand would be Exile or Victoria.

Answer 5

ya i use a carbon theyre the best you need oen to fit your weight the shop can tell you the weight to size thingand ya i agree with the other guy vics and exiles are good i no some people that use zaps to longer is better but yo need o be able to run comfortably with it
