Skimboarding offers the same opportunities of wave riding as Surfing, though many people believe skimming is running along the beach and skimming in the thin white water. It’s much more then that!

Skimboarding is a sport that is a mix between surfing and skateboarding. Many Tricks that you can do on a skateboard you can preform on a skimboard: shuvits; ollies; nollie’s; you name it! the only thing you cannot do is grind on a rail or wood.

If you really want to do it, than you probably can.

What I am trying to say that with skimming you ride waves, get in tubes, do aerials and everything. It is much harder then surfing, I believe you have to be much sturdier on the board and more skilled when dealing with big waves because you can get really hurt when being thrown back into the beach.

Yes with surfing it can be extremely dangerous when surfing in shallow water. But that is what skimming is SURFING in SHALLOW water. Both sports offer the same rush and feelings.

It all depends what you want.
