Skimboarding
Stoked in ten seconds
Skimboarding (or Skiffle Boarding) is a boardsport where a skimboard (a smaller, sleeker version of a surfboard) is used to ride on an incoming wave. Skimboarding is a sport similar to surfing. But unlike surfing, skimboarding begins on the beach, with the skimboarder running and dropping their board and jumping on it as quickly as possible. The momentum is used to hydroplane or “skim” onto the thin wash of previous waves. The glide is short but it is enough to get you stoked.

Thank you for your comment. In October I’ll visit Zanzibar. There is more info in my blog about that.
Thank you for stopping by my blog and I wanted to check yours out too! Your photos are beautiful! Oh how I wish I had a good digital camera before I had gotten as sick as I am now. I could have done so much more. Now can’t get out very much and the tremors in my hands most of the time keep me limited….but I keep trying and once in a while I get a good photo or two…lol…I’ll have to stop in once in a while to see what you have been doing…… :} … Lila
