Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our high-performance boards
How do I choose the right size skimboard?
Size depends on your weight, height, and skill level. Generally, larger boards provide more float for calmer water, while smaller boards offer more maneuverability for technical tricks.
What is the difference between Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass?
Carbon Fiber is lighter and stiffer, providing maximum response and durability for advanced riders. Fiberglass is more flexible and cost-effective, ideal for beginners and intermediate skimmers.
Do I need to wax my Exile skimboard?
Yes, applying surf wax or traction pads is essential to prevent slipping. We recommend a high-quality traction pad for the tail and wax for the center and nose.
Can I use my skimboard in the pool or on wet sand?
Our boards are designed for wave riding (shorebreak). While they can be used for flatland skimming, contact with rocks or pavement will damage the professional-grade finish.
Do you offer custom board shapes?
Yes, we specialize in custom builds where you can select your preferred shape, thickness, and glassing options to suit your specific riding style.
How should I store my board?
Store your board in a cool, shaded area. Avoid leaving it in a hot car or direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent delamination.
