Skimboard the Snow

We know it's the middle of winter, there's a foot of snow on the ground and your spit freezes before it hits the ground. However that doesn't mean you can't get your board out of the closet or garage and start waxing it up. Skimboarding season is only 2 or 3 months away depending on where you live in the world. We know most skimboarders are getting cabin fever right about now unless you snowboard in the off season. For those of us who don't snowboard the best thing for us is to do is sit, dream and wait for the warm weather to come back either that or fly to Hawaii or Australia.

Here's a novel idea. How many of you have tried taking your skimboard out on the snow? We have and let me tell you it's a fun and wild experience trying to skimboard across the snow. We just recommend that you find some soft snow and not a hard patch of ice. I can guarantee that you'll wipe out and you want to make sure your landing is a semi-soft one. If you've ever been tubing, sledding, snowboarding or skiing then you know how it feels when you hit a patch of ice or some hard snow with your face or head.

This is one way to kill the skimboarding winter blues. Just because it's colder than a witch's finger out there doesn't mean our skimboarding spirits have to get cold too. The winter blues is not fun especially for those who love the warm weather. Just keep thinking positive and think how spring time is right around the bend and will be here before we know it. We'll be hitting those waves in no time.

We wish everyone a good time. Go grab your board and go have some fun.
