What is Skimboarding?

Hey! What’s up? This is your boy Jason Henne with expertvillage.com. We’re talking today about skimboarding. Some people might not know what skimboarding is. Skimboarding is a sport that originated in California when lifeguards wanted to get up and down the beach. They would throw down their skimboard because they can get there faster than running and they would slide along the beach and check the waves. The thing about skimboarding is when you first see it, you’re not going to know what it is. The way it works is you take a board like this one and you throw it down right where the sand and the water meet and then you jump on and you’re able to slide along. Once you get that down, there’s no limits to what kind of tricks you can do. 180s, 360s, pop shove its. It could be the next big X game, so you’re definitely going to want to get into this.
