Choosing The Best Skimboard For You

Many people ask me which type of skimboard is best for me? Well there's a few different variables when it comes to choosing which skimboard is best suited for you.

There's different sizes, brands and materials.

First lets talk about wooden skimboards. Wooden skimboards are great for beginners because they're cheap and easy to find so it's ok it you're rough with the board. As you become better and more experienced skimboarder I recommend switching to a fiberglass skimboard.

Fiberglass skimboards are great because they're light and fast across the sand and water which you need if you plan on doing a lot of tricks and moves with your skimboard when you hit the wave.

There are many different sizes to skimboards depending on your skill level, height and weight.

Here's a list of sizes I recommend to people who are looking for a board:

# 35 inch - 75~110 lb beginner # 37 inch - 85~120 lb beginner or intermediate # 38 inch - 85~120 lb beginner or intermediate # 40 inch - 110~160 lb beginner or intermediate # 44 inch - 120~160 lb beginner to expert # 45 inch - 120~160 lb intermediate to expert # 48 inch - 135~185 lb intermediate to expert # 52 inch - 140~220 lb intermediate to expert

So when it comes to choosing a skimboard go through the list to decide which is best for you, at the end of the day its your choice. Everyone has their own style and taste.
