Skimboards for every level – slide, jump and do stunts
Looking for a skimboard for endless water fun? You've come to the right place. Whether you're just starting to glide over wet sand or want to learn some tricks, our collection has a board for you. Suitable for children, teens, and adults.
What can you do with a skimboard?
With a skimboard, you glide across a thin layer of water at the edge of the sea or lake. You run, throw the board, and jump on to propel yourself across the water's surface. Ideal for beach days, vacations, or for improving your balance. Advanced riders even do tricks and jumps.
What size skimboard do I need?
The right size depends on your weight and experience. Generally speaking:
- Up to 40 kg: choose a small board (approx. 85–95 cm)
- 40–70 kg: medium board (approx. 95–105 cm)
- 70+ kg: larger board (approx. 105–115 cm)
The heavier you are, the larger the board needs to be to float and glide properly. Beginners often choose a slightly wider board for more stability.
How does a skimboard work?
You run towards a wet beach, throw the board flat on the water, jump on, and glide. Practice makes perfect – start with short distances and build up to longer glides or turns. A flat beach with a thin layer of water is ideal.
What is the difference between a skimboard and a bodyboard?
A skimboard is used at the edge of the beach in shallow water. You stand on it and glide. A bodyboard is used in the surf: you lie on it and ride the waves. Skimboarding is more active and requires more balance, while bodyboarding is more relaxed and accessible.
How does a bodyboard work?
You lie on the bodyboard and let the power of the waves carry you along. You steer with your arms and legs. It's safe, accessible, and fun for all ages. Ideal for a first introduction to golf.
