    If you get this board you will be able to ride like filipe toledo:

    You need to ride a retro twinnie with glassed-in fins, fo sho.

    Automatic douchecanoe status right there.

    I achieved that status a long time ago. I think I still got the medal for it.

    We had a cat that died a few months ago at 18 years old.Had to sedate her when we took her to the vet. When we bathed her I swear she sounded like a human talking. RIP Mavis.

    Wax the bottom of your rear foot so you can always be aware of its placement relative to the fins/tailpad/leashplug/inboard motor/impeller

    lol. I was in a surf shoppe purchasing a new leash(kook cord) and a lady was buying a pricey skim board for her kids. She actually asked which side to wax, the bottom or the top. She also was thinking of buying a trac top for it. Which got me to thinking, I've never seen some one use a trac top on a skim board. Do they? Looking at the kids and I have a feeling one of them is gonna break their wrist before the week is out.

    Did not know.The break here is not real good for skimmimg into a wave mostly just running down the beach and twirling around so I can't say I've seen advanced skim boarding locally, but that's what u-tube is for. Actually there hasn't been much to surf for awhile either. Bummer.

    Lazy, I am no pro, but this what I see some of the more advanced guys use. The lady is for your enjoyment
