The result is boards that turn on a dime. Unfortunately there is a big trade off for this turning ability. Shockwave Skimboards - French manufacturer. The boards I have seen look pretty good. Very similar to Victoria's boards.

Folha Skimboards - The board of choice in Portugal. I have only ridden one of these boards. The one I rode seemed a little on the heavy side, but not extraordinarily heavy. The shape was very similar to a Victoria. I can't say if they are durable or not because I don't have very much experience with them.
