- I used to make my own skimboards with my uncle as a kid. So much fun.monospaced
- hows it made?yurimon
- we used plywood and then sheets of fiberglass and resin, just like making a surfboardmonospaced
- Is he riding the wake of a boat? That's what it looks like.nocomply
- nope, just a little wave on the shoremonospaced
- oh wait... it could be a wake... but it's damn close to the shore so it could be someone else on that same wavemonospaced
- looks like a wake to meset
- also looks like a perfect little wavemonospaced

- I used to help my cousin make them too, he just used 3/4 ply and a router, but just a clear coat, he went buck wild with them, had stacks of a few hundred, hismoldero
- parents would always bitch "what are you gonna do with all those, their taking up the entire garagemoldero
- I vote for a wake, being filmed from a boat. Otherwise how would they get the continuous camera angle?nocomply

- @nocomply, it could be another person riding in front on the same wavemonospaced
- It's called wakesurfing and it's a thing. What's unique here is how he started from shoreletterhead
- skim boarding is always done from the shore, actuallymonospaced
- of course he's riding the boat wake, cool gif nonethelessernexbcn
- so those are multiple boat wakes made by invisible boats behind him in parallel?monospaced
- Mono those multiple little waves behind him were also created by the same boat. I know because I do this often.letterhead

- I also skimboard, always from the shore, and always when there's a wave like that too...monospaced
- And that video you posted... that's not skimboarding, that's wake-surfing and it's nowhere near the shore.monospaced
- Austin Keen is a skimboarder who is now getting into the wakesurf scene. This gif shows him skimming from shore and "hijacking" a boat wake.letterhead
- Yes I realize it's close to shore. It was a stuntletterhead
- Lol come on guys. A continuous wave?!!?HijoDMaite
- Come on man stop monotarding all up in hereset
- In this particular gif, Austin Keen was
wakeboarding, he also skimboards on in coming waves.utopian - lol... can't we just leave it at 'that's fucking cool!' ?PonyBoy
- boss level 10necromation
- are you questioning "continuous waves" Hijo? Anyone who surfs has been on wave breaks that can go down an entire section of coast, even small ones.monospaced
- I understand now this is a boat wake, but this kind of thing is done with regular waves all the time :)monospaced
- wakeskate not skimboardhotroddy
