Cool! It's not the kite you fly, It's the board you ride!!!
Love the unhooked lawnmower. That's legit. Dangle is OK too.
Just wondering if I need dreadlocks to ride a skim Laughing Not sure
I have enough hair for that Confused

I had a Flash Austin skim for a while but never got it dialed. I think
I still thought I need straps and fins at the time. Laughing

Thought about grabbing kiteskating.com but it's been done. Shocked
Funny thing is that my first time pulled on a kite was like that.
Went downwind in a field by my house in Wichita using a Flexifoil 6.

I'm going to make a me a skim this winter. Maybe some channels???
I tweaked the rockers for the Cabals back in the day. Anyone try
those Roush Loafs from Surftech?

Skim boards are super duper fun Lance. The are super slippery and it really hones your balance. Drew B said it best with "riding a skimboard is liking riding a bar of soap".

Plus, they are fun to hit sliders with. Very Happy

Your not going to want fins on it. Try to keep it pure skim...


I was looking earlier this year. Scored a super sweet cabal carbon fiber board from a lady in HR. Super skim but they are not made anymore and are very pricey.
