And that is what we think of when we think of surfing. We think of Pipeline, Waimea, The Cortez Bank, Mavericks, Indonesia etc. Skimboarding has no such events. There are no contests with waiting periods in the best areas. The conditions are always less than desirable.
People never see what is really possible on a skimboard.
More often they see riders competing to squeeze in another shuvit on the sand. We don't want that to define us. Surely the tricks will get you further. While this kind of riding won't help you in every contest, it will help you in the vast majority of them. Certain riders are masters of the technical aspects of skimboarding.
