Skimboarding

Drop your skim board and step on while running to ride the wet sand on a smooth board, very fast.

Humans will find sport and recreation in everything, even the receding waves. Riding a skimboard, however, takes great balance and good timing.

Jump straight up, kicking one leg forward and one leg back to make the board spin beneath you, and then land riding forward.

Use a piece of plywood and a few power tools to make a quick and easy skimboard.

Try out a few different skimboards before you buy one.
