If your a guy, and you like to get naked with other dudes, then I would be sure to get fins with your skim board. You'll see most of the people at rooster with fins on skims. strapless101 Since 17 Aug 2009 82 Posts gorge   Thu Jan 07, 10 4:37 pm     they're like straps on a skim!        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
