Skim Style

How would you like to learn the fundamentals and advanced techniques of wakesurfing from home? I have curated lesson videos for skim that include proper progressions where I coach you on how to execute the skill perfectly. When I started wakesurfing, many of the free videos online didn’t specify which style of board they were on (surf or skim). This lead to improper technique being learned and lots of boat fuel being used- speaking from experience! I am very passionate about coaching so you can have a fun and successful time on the water! Once you purchase a course bundle or an individual lesson video, watch the lesson videos as many times as you’d like!
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!
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 skimboard, but I am taller than the suggested height range so I choose to ride a 50.
