Has any Breezer tried this sport way back in 1995 I spent 6 months in California just surfing got Rincon point and Trestles reef pumping just about every day even got the righthander into the peir at Huntington beach all time. This one day I was hanging down at Venice beach and there was this PRO Skimboarding Contest on, the shore dump was a 2ft pumping closeout I must have sat on the Pier for like 4 hours just watching these guys ripping on these Victoria Skimboards with heaps of rocker. So I went and found the Owner shaping these Skimboards in his factory ( like a shaper shaping a surfboard ) as I was keen to buy one as it looked like fun but I never got around to buy one. I recon I would have broken my neck.

I wonder how the average weight and age compare with SUPers?

Got one a couple of years ago and broke my big toe on about the 5th try! It has gathered dust ever since
