Great progress! It's a lot of fun and great exercise (other than sharp board edges and eating occasional sand sandwiches) quick tip I recently got told is to try and angle your more direct towards the break means you will get there earlier then use the power of the wave to bring you back with the right body position

good on you! I went to CA on vaca this past August and was my first time ever being in the pacific - at 60 years old. I body surfed and boogie boarded at Hermosa beach, and actually caught a couple pre-breaking waves and got the thumbs up from a local skim boarder. (I did some surfing in the 70's on a large inland lake, water skier, skateboard, also am a life long skier) Next trip I'll try the skim board...

How much do you weigh and what size board do you have! I weigh like 225 and bought a scim board that was supposed to be good for my weight though I could only slide like 5 ft!!
@wayoutside9 ай бұрын
I was about 220 when I first started, but am down to about 180 now, and I noticed that every pound counts. It's still tough even at this weight compared to lighter people who can plane out for miles in any conditions! I looked for a wider board, in another video I compare it to an EX0 for size - it's a 55" or 56" Victoria Poly, not sure on the width. Things that help: Steep slopes, your weight can carry you further, another thing is trying to center yourself in the very center of the board and not letting too much weight go to any side, and also just running closer to the wave including water dropping, just gotta get in there and snag quick shorebreak sometimes!
@SidneyDurant8 ай бұрын
As someone who's considering getting into skimming but can't make it to the ocean all the time, I'm curious - is this with weeklyish sessions? How often were you getting out year 1, and for how long (ish)?
@wayoutside8 ай бұрын
In the early days, it's hard to improve if you can't make it all the time, but once you have the basics, it becomes less about frequency and more about finding good waves. In the first few months I was going every day, or every other day if I was sore, because conditions don't matter that much when you're just learning the drop. It was way more important that I kept trying daily. By the end of the first year it was more like 2-3x a week, when conditions allowed. Now that I "know how" it's more about finding good spots/waves at the right time of year, so I'll go only 1-2 per week during peak season (Jul-Oct for me), and hardly at all in off-season - once a month or less. It's very conditions-dependent once you have the drop & ride down.
@SidneyDurant8 ай бұрын
@@wayoutside thanks for sharing! I was thinking it might be easier to get into than surfing (and the smaller board seems easier to store for me), but the more I look into it the more it seems like surfing may be a better choice, with less dependence on the exact right shoreline and conditions, and a slightly easier learning curve.
@MeesterPalm2 жыл бұрын
Great progress! Now that you can drop with speed, try to squat more as you approach the lip of the wave, and instead of pivoting the board with your hips and feet, lean your weight towards your toes (for backside) and heel (for frontside). You gotta sink your rails (side edges) of the board into the water to turn properly. Try it out, and you’ll soon start wrapping the waves!

Does the board last long?
@wayoutside8 ай бұрын
I've only owned 2, an Exile EX0 and this Victoria Poly. They last about 1-2 years in general (mileage may vary). This Victoria is lasting longer because I'm spending less time on sand with it, but the tail is already worn down enough to show exposed foam. If you have the money, getting a new board every year is ideal. For me the tail is the first thing to go - so I wonder if a fish model would last longer.

The one time you got washed back up a little notice how you committed your shoulders (kind of) to ride back towards the beach? And other times you turn your shoulders to ride back over the wave?..in other words, when you want to turn take your left hand and point 👉 (literally) back at the beach, not out towards the ocean, you'll get it.. Focus on that....also, push (pump) off the face of the wave with your legs, should be able to do it even on the whitewash

@wayoutside Жыл бұрын
For the beach, avoid the wooden ones, they don't really work well. You'd want more of a surf shape made of foam/fiberglass. I would recommend either a Zap, Victoria, or Exile! I've tried Exile and my current is a Victoria, going to try Zap next.

At 6'3'' and about 180-185 lbs there is not really a lot of weight to loose and it seems like it excludes quite a few of the non-wooden, entry level priced boards. Can you recommend a board ? Or do I have to face the fact that I need to invest USD 250+ at that size and weight to get started?

@JohnMorawietz2 жыл бұрын
look into the direction you want to go as a lead -in while rotating the upper body and arms simultaneously. The motion should be just before the feet follow. Try a dry land jumping 360, swinging the head, arms, uper torso, hips, then legs and spin around. Try to plant your feet in the same place as when you left the ground. Try it on the skimboard, then on a carpet keeping your feet on the skimboard without the leap. Your getting the hang of approaching and timing waves so put the two motions together. You'll feel the back foot gas pedal as you come around when the wave pushes you out. Do some slalom skateboarding or snowboarding to get more of the feeling of quarter pipe shore break riding. Be well, be REAL.
