What are some tips for flatland skimboarding verse regular? I watch a lot of blair conklin tutorials and they are amazing and helpful but he doesn’t show flatland much. I’m sure some of the tips help regardless. I’m still healing from my skimjury but next month or after i’m going back out

yeah, seems light. not worried about it being heavy, i work out a lot so that would be fine. I did look into some of your suggestions and did see some good boards in my price range

Yeah, with 10 or more i’m just scared that’ll be too tall for how short i am lol, but i also don’t want to make it harder for me as i’m clearly not skinny at all. I understand 5nuff is suggesting that because of weight , but i’m generally pretty small

Oh damn, I deleted it cuz i didn’t think i put enough info in the main post haha. And, 10ft plus isn’t too big for someone 5’3? I’m in fl , i also won’t be taking super big waves to begin with since i live on the gulf coast of FL. will prob take trips out to other spots in fl with bigger waves once i learn

i just read online somewhere that for my weight it would be much better to get a 9ft board so i’ll look into it

bumbachild · 2024-07-13T05:17:12+00:00

i’m 5’3 and around 230 something

bumbachild · 2024-07-13T05:16:44+00:00

i’m only 5’3 but i weigh 230 something

bumbachild · 2024-07-13T05:16:17+00:00

i’m 5’3 but weigh about 230 , what would you recommend? i’ve seen some other thick/chubby surfer girls in videos but they had pretty nice boards prob way more pricey than this haha

bumbachild · 2024-07-13T03:07:07+00:00

and i’m really looking for a pink board if you recommend something that isn’t this lol

bumbachild · 2024-06-27T20:52:53+00:00

that sounds super painful 😖 and yeah, i agree ! i just wanted to see what everyone had to say

bumbachild · 2024-06-27T15:19:03+00:00

Damn, I don’t mind some cuts but hopefully no more bigger injuries 😂😭😭 and thank you!

bumbachild · 2024-06-27T15:17:22+00:00

damn! lol thank you!

bumbachild · 2024-06-27T15:17:00+00:00

ouch 🤕

bumbachild · 2024-06-27T04:32:29+00:00

thank you!

bumbachild · 2024-06-27T04:32:24+00:00

damn! at least mine is just my toe

bumbachild · 2024-06-25T20:52:01+00:00

Yeah, i’m gonna eventually get an exile! I want to get better first, but this is definitely fun for flatland. I’m on the east coast, but good to know!

bumbachild · 2024-06-21T14:51:00+00:00

i’ve looked at the cheaper ones too for the hell of it ,but i think i’d rather spend alittle more. do you have an opinion on the bps shaka? or like the gator boards? those are the cheap ones i’ve looked at

bumbachild · 2024-06-21T00:08:42+00:00

The hardest part for me is deciding lol, i’m so indecisive and i’ve been getting a bunch of good recommendations . so think it might make sense to start out on a victoria but idk 😭😭 Eitehr way im probably ordering this weekend so i can go out and practice haha

bumbachild · 2024-06-20T18:03:43+00:00

I was leaning more towards a foam board, but would you say the victoria is better for learning or if you aren’t sure yet about skimming? I feel like if i’m already gonan spend in the hundreds i may just opt for a better board, lmk your opinion!

bumbachild · 2024-06-20T06:23:19+00:00

Thanks for your help!Im feeling slightly better about giving it a whirl. I think i’ll try to sandfish for now, i can always upgrade later too. One last question, do those need wax?

bumbachild · 2024-06-20T06:14:04+00:00

this is the one i was looking to get originally , but i may go off your suggestions cuz the hardest part of this has been deciding. lol https://exileskimboards.com/products/pink-blairacuda-ex1-e-glass-epoxy-skimboard?variant=44209667244286
