1/13/2024 0 Comments Victoria skim board![]() ![]() But there's a small problem, I'm about 160-165lbs and I don't ride a MediumLarge. So whether you are buying a Victoria Poly or a Zap Fuse or an Exile Hybrid, this size chart is most accurate for the large majority of people across the board. Here is a sort of aggregate size chart going off of Victoria, Zap, and Exile: The only issue that comes up is do you want to follow these size charts for your personal riding style and beaches you are local to. This is kind of unfortunate but ultimately if you average the numbers out they're very similar. Not just brand to brand but board to board. If you shop around different brands, you will notice that there is not a universal size chart. Carbon-epoxy is the best layup in the business and it's why all the pros ride it and its the best seller for the $100+ range for all companies. One big rock or one hard drop from your car or in your garage, boom. Sure, a newer rider may not put their board through much wear and tear, but you should prepare for the worst. Why? Because e-glass and s-glass and polyester or vinylester only save you a maximum of ~$100 and are ultimately much worse. Just to hammer home the materials discussion, please buy an epoxy and carbon skimboard. I forget when the board companies usually do their sales, I think Christmas and Memorial Day. Unfortunately, used boards are becoming less and less common so if you can't find one, try to save up for one and wait for a sale on customs. Again, if your budget means you can't afford a brand new carbon skimboard, please try to find a used carbon board for 200-400. But a 400-500 carbon board can still sell for 200-400. If you spend 300 on a mid-range fiberglass board but it falls apart, you can barely sell it for 100 bucks after. 2 reasons: durability is always valuable and value retention if you need to sell it is good. Ideally get a used version of a very expensive board but if that is not an option I still recommend getting a top of the line board. If we're doing this we might as well do it right, so I now give the opposite advice from earlier, which is get the most expensive board you can. You have learned how to skimboard and you want to ride out to waves now. $50 is probably a good amount to spend on a small fiberglass or wooden board. There is nothing wrong with getting the basics down on a wooden board and ideally spending less than a $100. Cutting, sanding, and laying resin on a piece of plywood is not that hard and a fun little project. If you are brand new to skimboarding, you should get the cheapest board possible, whatever is available to you, or literally turn it into a fun project and make your own. ![]() Shipping cost will be calculated in your cart.A little early for this, but maybe if I put enough work into it the mods will sticky it for the Spring/Summer rush of questions about buying boards. *Skimboards DO NOT qualify for free shipping. The strong birch core will take anything you throw at it, and the hand made art guarantees each board to be one of a kind.įinish: Hand painted art finish with gloss The ultimate board for learning the basics, the Woody will slide long distances along the shoreline while letting you bash small waves. Hand built in the U.S.A for the past forty years, the woody has stood the test of time. Hand painted and made in the US of A! This is our most popular skimboard. Minimal rocker lets the Victoria Woody glide across flat sand, but you can ride waves too. A birch core wrapped in polyester resin makes for a durable, long-lasting board. The most classic skim around, not to mention versatile. ![]()
