It's been pretty windy this weekend. Finally figured out how to post from flickr. Phil was pretty much the only one near me today  |

Thanks Jim! Nice ones!
That little wood roush skim throws a mean spray, super thin rails... Nice when you are lit on a 7m or 5m 
I think it might even ollie better than the Nobile, and its about +$400 cheaper.

Only thing that I don't quite dig is it floats just below the surface of the water, so it can be real hard to spot. Might be better with pads.
The Nobile is fun but I think its supposed to have fins, which I am convinced is kind of gay for a skim board. Without fins, the fin holes become water jets and sprinkle your feet all day. Maybe super tiny .5" fins would be fun, would certainly make wave riding more interesting / possible. Fins seem to work for Shinn:
