Skimboard guide: frequently asked questions about skim boards

How do you use a skimboard on the beach and in the water?

To use your skimboard, it’s best to choose a place and time when there is a thin layer of water over the sand. You can also use it to slide over the sand; in that case, throw your board just as the sea pulls the wave back. Skimboarding requires specific conditions: look for areas where the water recedes, leaving the sand wet and firm. If you still have questions about how to practice skimboard, at Mundo Surf we can advise you on technique and the best spots to practice this sport.

How do you choose a skimboard according to your level and weight?

To buy a suitable skimboard, you should consider three main criteria:

• Your body weight: determines the volume and buoyancy you need. Smaller boards for lighter riders, larger boards for higher weight.
• Your height: affects the length and width of the board to maintain balance and control on the shore.
• Your level of experience: beginners should opt for wooden boards, which offer versatility and ease of use. Advanced riders will get better performance from epoxy or fiberglass boards.

If you want to complement your board with skimboard accessories, at Mundo Surf you’ll find a wide catalog that includes board bags to protect and carry your board, EVA pads to improve grip, and other add-ons that enhance your skimboarding experience. We also have surf accessories compatible with your practice.
