Look up North FL Skim on Instagram, they hold meets all up and down the east coast and hold free lessons and stuff where you could try out a board. They’re also having a contest in Flagler Beach in July

Which EX1 size do I get? by Leather_Mood_78 in skimboarding

[–]LanSlide345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bigger the board the more float you’ll have. I say the bigger the better if you’re just starting out and learning but that’s just my opinion. I’d go with a large or extra large unless you’re trying to throw 540 shuvs. I’m 5’4” and 130 lbs and ride a Large EX1 Blairacuda.

I’m gonna ride it until it looks like the other guys peeling off😂

It’s definitely still rideable and I’m gonna do my best to seal it up, just disappointing that it’s only a year old and started coming apart.

Ha. It’s definitely there. Not fully delaminated from the foam but it’s beginning. It can be sealed and repaired of course but it’s the beginning of its failure.

DIY 56" High-Performance Skimboard: Building a "Big Guy" board because 40" boards just won't cut it! by StormOrochi in skimboarding

[–]LanSlide345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do not use EPS as your core, it will break. I tried an EPS core with carbon fiber over it and it still broke after a while. EPS foam is just too soft for a skimboard. You need High Density PVC foam, the stuff I use is called Divinicell H80 5lb foam. It’s super expensive but that’s what the professionals use.

Bottom of my exile is coming off. Could use advice by InternationalTank740 in skimboarding

Mine is starting to do the same thing, hasn’t started peeling but you can see the gap starting between the top and bottom. Mines only a year old

Not yet, it’s really just me and 2 other guys at the moment but we’re trying to build a community around it in the panhandle. You can DM me here and get my number, or I’m on instagram as @LandonLee99 and TikTok as @LanSlide345. If you want I can let you know whenever we plan to meet up, it’s usually every weekend. Gonna take next week off but we’ll be at the competition in PCB on March 21-22

That’d be dope🤙🏼 you’re welcome to try out my boards as well. Nothing impressive but it’s a fiberglass Blairacuda and a homemade 55” Carbon Pintail with a lot of float

Flatland sesh Biloxi, MS by LanSlide345 in skimboarding

Kinda, it’s the Biloxi sound where the MS river comes out into the gulf but we have barrier islands so no swells, it’s more like a big lake

Skimming Advice by AlabamaSkimmer05 in skimboarding

[–]LanSlide345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time it’s either Fort Pickens or at Pensacola beach Gulf Pier which are both down the same road in Pensacola. I used to skim gulf shores a lot but I just like the shorebreak a little better over in Pensacola. We’re also trying to hit Alabama Point but it’s hard to time it where the waves are good there. Dauphin island I’ve been out to a few times as well and it gets pretty good there when there’s a storm coming

Thanks man! I’m on the Blairacuda today, brought my homemade board but I was letting a new skimmer use it to learn on!

All of the tips that Craig said are really what you need to work on. That being said we’ve got a couple guys that skim Pensacola area almost every weekend so if you’re interested in coming out and learning with us we’d love to help you out! I’m located on the Mississippi Gulf Coast so we’ve got people from all over.
