SURF
& SKIM
COURSES

I am very passionate about helping people unleash their wakesurfing potential! When I first started wakesurfing, I couldn’t decide whether I liked surf or skim more. They are both so different and I enjoy them for different reasons- so I decided to keep training on both! Fast forward some years, I became the first female to win the World Wakesurfing Championships on both surf and skim!

Surf and skim are so different, so I created courses to help coach you on how to be successful in both. With my courses, you can select surf or skim lesson videos, depending on which type of board you are riding:

Surf Style

A thick, buoyant board with two large fins at the back of the board on each side. Some come with a quad-fin set-up (two large fins at the back on each side and two small fins below at the back on each side).

What size of fins should I ride?
Whichever feels best to you! I ride what comes stock with my P5 board. I can do all of my tricks regardless of fin size- and you can too! You will end up liking any fins you choose once you get used to them.
Should I ride a specific board if I want to compete?
If you are a competitive rider, double check your association’s rules for fin size and board thickness to ensure you are adhering to the correct standards. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions regarding purchasing a board that is the right fit and size for you.
What size of board should I ride?
Most board manufacturers have height and weight recommendations for the board. If the board says maximum weight of 120 lbs and you weight 115 lbs, I typically recommend going up to the next size so you can gain more buoyancy. For example, I am in the suggested weight range to ride a 46 P5 surfboard, but I am taller than the suggested height range so I choose to ride a 53. Height and weight both need to be considered.

Skim Style

A thin board with a small singular fin at the back of the board in the middle, or no fin.

Should I go finless on my skimboard?
I used a fin on my skimboard up until I landed my 540 Big Spin. You can gradually get smaller fins for your skimboard as you advance. Keeping a fin in until you are landing your Big Spins with control in switch position. Learning how to control landings is much easier with a fin in and results in your execution feeling and looking better. If you would like additional information on fin set-up, please do not hesitate to contact me and I’d be happy to assist you!
