Italy has some great food, wine, cheese, beautiful women but even more beautiful beaches. When you're in Italy eating the great food, drinking the wine and eating the cheese don't forget to check out the great beaches with your skimboard as well.
Here's a list of some of the great beaches in Italy.
1. Capri: This beach is located in Southern Italy on the Sorrento Peninsula. Capri is a cool place that is full of mountains. This beach is known for it's deep blue sea and great beaches. There are a lot of resorts and hotels along this beach and you should have no problem finding a place to relax and skim across the sand on your board.
2. The Italian Riviera: This place has long been a tourist haven. Attracting thousands and thousands of visitors each year. The beaches here are free of charge but that also makes them crowded. If you do a little hiking along the trails that are there you can find some good beaches that are less crowded. This place is also famous for it's pasta, so after a great day of skimboarding help yourself to a big plate of delicious pasta.
3. Amalfi Coast: This place has some of the coolest cliffs you'll ever see. And you can't miss them as you're driving through to get to this beach. There are two private beaches here that you'll want to visit. The Fornillo beach and the Spiaggia Grande.
4. Tuscany: Famous for it's wine, cool rolling hills and old culture. However this place has some of best beaches with it's white sand and old style villages that are behind them. Not to mention that the water is a beautiful crystal clear color and there's about 100 miles of coastline. When you come here you need to visit Viareggio and enjoy the old festival that's been going on for more than 100 years.

Skimboarding in Vietnam
When you think of Vietnam, great skimboarding beaches is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. But believe it or not, Vietnam has some of the best beaches to go skimboarding. Vietnam has more than 3400km of beach and coastline. The sand along these beaches is a great powdery sand. There are many hidden coves, awesome lagoons and many other great features that beach lovers and skimboarders long for. This place is definitely paradise in it's own right.
Here are some of the great beaches you need to visit if you ever make it down to Vietnam.
1. Nha Trang: This beach has been famous for many years and is a tourist favorite. The closet town is not the best and you should be prepared for it but the awesome beach that this town sits by is definitely worth the trip. I highly recommend this beach for any skimboarder.
2. Mui Ne: This beach is famous for it's cool looking dunes and the great waves that this beach offers. This beach is a great place for anyone who is interested in any kind of water sport.
3. Phu Quoc: Some people call this island the most beautiful island in Vietnam. The beaches here are famous for having perfect white sand and a thick jungle behind it. This is a must see for everyone who visits this country.
4. China Beach: This beach has a few different names and is very famous for surfing. If you're a surfer looking to hit some great waves in Asia then this long stretching beach is just what the surf doctor ordered.
5. Con Dao: Not too tourists know about these islands and that's what makes them so special. Once these islands become discovered by tourists they are going to be the next big thing in Vietnam. Go now while you have the chance. Finding an undiscovered gem like this is rare and you should take full advantage of it while you can.
6. Doc Let: This great beach has beautiful white sand and is not too far from Nha Trang. If you're looking for some peace and quiet, this place comes highly http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifrecommended.
7. Ho Coc: Last but not least, this beach can't be accessed by most tourists however there is one cool place that we recommend going. It's a huge, awesome sandbar that's about halfway between Vung Tau and Phan Thiet. A great place for skimboarders looking to get away from the crowds and hit some good sand with their boards.
You should definitely put Vietnam on your places to go skimboarding. Not only is it a cool place to visit but the skimboarding there is great and an experience you won't ever forget.

Skimboarding and Other Board Sports
Whenever I tell someone that I love to go skimboarding when the hot weather hits the first thing that comes out of their mouths is "what the heck is skimboarding and what does a skimboard look like?" If you've ever seen a skimboard before it's easy to imagine but if you haven't it's very difficult to picture in your mind. I always tell people it's a mix between a body board and a surfboard but the way it's ridden is very very different.
Not only do you not paddle out into the surf but the sand starts out being your best friend. And the smoother the sand the better the skimboarding will be. There's nothing like a smooth patch of sand for a skimboarder. If we have a beach clear of people and nice smooth patch of sand, us skimboarders are in heaven.
Body boarders on other hand love waves that break closer to shore but still need the waves to get their ride. And body boarders not only dislike but hate the sand and only want to see the sand when they're finished riding their waves. If a body boarder is seeing sand too soon that means that they're most likely eating sand and that's not fun. I can speak from experience.
Surfers on the other hand want to get as far away from the beach as possible or wherever the best waves are breaking. Even if that means paddling out to where most tourists would never ever venture. I can still remember my first time surfing in Hawaii. I had just hit Waikiki beach with my surfboard and was paddling out to find the good waves. And way out on the horizon where you could barely see unless you were squinting were a few dozen local surfers. Being my first time to Hawaii and not being too sure if I should paddle way out there and interfere with their waves I decided to stick closer to shore. After awhile I was able to talk to a few of them and was welcomed to go out there and ride with them. It turned out to be an awesome experience and I made some friends in the process.
So as you can see these popular board sports are very different but are all done on hundreds of beaches all over the world. If you go to any beach in the world I can almost bet that you'll see one of these board sports being done by some of thehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif locals.
Well enough talk about all these great board sports. It's time to go hit the waves and enjoy the summer time. There's nothing like summer time. Sorry but winter is not fun!
