    So, this is a very random thought, and to my knowledge, I don't really notice anyone else doing this.... But I developed this habit in CA, where my ADHD ran wild and I had to get out to the lineup as quickly as possibly could... The lineups out there are usually a lot further out, so the method I began using, because it allows you to cut through the water faster than walking is the Skip. Thats right. The thing you learned in Kindergarten and probably haven't done since... The skip. The momentum that it gathers keeps your legs in a forward momentum at all times, and I would guess that it increase the speed from trying to walk out by about 75%....

    Give it a try next time... See how much faster you get out to the lineup. I usually skip out there until it's about waist-chest deep and then start to paddle.... Gets you out there lickety split... Don't know if anyone else does this, but try it out bros.

    I suppose I had that coming... But still, I bet you will be looking over your shoulder next time, making sure there are no hot chicks on the beach and then start skipping. Dont front.

    Do you sing while you skip? Is it only one song: ie- the skipping song. or does it depend on tide?

    Lol. I hope he does, I mean, you want it to look pretty.

    I'll do random movements going in and getting out of the water, like pelvic thrusts because there are always onlookers walking the boards plus surf cams.

    See dudes, here is the deal. This is a picture of me, getting tubed up after I skipped out to the lineup, and see the other guy STILL paddling out? Thats you guys, cause you aren't man enough to skip... Boom.

    I am actully using my left pinky to drag in the wave and stall in the barrel.

    I like to do kind of a triple skip jump over waist high waves when it's cold. Helps to avoid needless duck dives at low tide.

    I attribute that to your streamlined attire more than skipping.

    Hysterical! Dont get gay and feminine confused. Femine is skipping down the beach.there are masculine gay guys who would not skip down the beach. And there are femine straight guys who skip down the beach and dress up like women on Halloween when they think they can get away with it.

    There may be merit to this technique. There is the Olympic Event, Triple Jump, formerly known as the Hop, Skip, and Jump. I think this exemplifies good technique:

    Now just perform carrying your board.

    funny.

    Of course money buys happiness. You ever seen a homeless person skip? The answer to that riddle’s no. They’re not allowed.
    Saw a homeless guy skipping once, BAM bottle hit em in the head. nevermind that I threw it.

    I just wasted 10 minutes of my life, sifting through google to find a photo to top that. Such a photo does not exist. Well done.
