Exact size and weight of a skim board?
156541
We would make skim boards out of plywood (about 25 years ago). Get a piece of plywood, cut out the shape you would like. Round the edges of the board, cover with resin (one side at a time). If you'd like you can use fiberglass w/ the resin, but its not really necessary. Sand down the rough edges and you're ready to go. Skim boards today have core made of resins and are lighter than plywood. The height of the board is about the height of a body board (4 ft). The width varies on the shape.

yeah definitely, you should get the appropriate size board for your height and weight, just like snow boarding. if you are 5 feet tall you would never be able to ride a surf board for someone who is 6 feet tall it would be way more difficult to ride and control. if you do buy a surf board ask a sales associate to help you find the right size for you, get more bang for your buck

Go used for the bindings and deck, spring for some new boots. You want a board that is both height and weight appropriate. The typical way of finding out the right size is somewhere between the chin and nose of your kid while the board is stood up. Boards are measured in cm fyi) \nIf your kid is too light for the board, there will be no way he can control it no matter how good he is. Likewise if he gets into the park and he's too heavy for it, it will break. \nWhen you go to buy a board, bend it. Put the nose against the floor, hold the tail in one hand, and push on the middle with the other. Don't be afraid to push hard. Try to think about the pressure your applying and your sons weight.\nFor bindings let him have strap-ins, they take a little longer but I believe they are safer and give you a better hold on your board. If you are getting them used go for Burtons, they are hands down the safest and most reliable, espically when you don't know where they've been.\nBoots should fit tighter than normal kids shoes, avoid the 'room for growth' because that will make his foot slip around inside and make control more difficult. \nI bought my board for a grand total of around $300 and that was with a name brand helmet, and name brand everything else. \nI got mine aftermarket, which for you would be the end of this season when the sellers want to get rid of their stock. if your son can wait, try to get to the end of season sales and pick him out something nice. In the meanwhile you can lease a board for the entire season from a ski/snowboard shop for around $100-$200 or rent daily from your mountain. \nI hope these tips and advice help you out.\nTell your son to have fun!

size is kinda important. i like thinner boards personally. at least under 8 inches. and no board does flip tricks without you on it. if you want a board that makes flip tricks a lil easier just get one with a nose that has a lot of concave. enjois and plan B's both have a lot of concave in the nose. my favorite decks tho are lib techs. they have 2 layers of fiber glass in them and their pop lasts forever. well prolly not forever but a while. the fiber glass doesnt make them heavier either. but they are really strong and pretty hard to snap. good luck and roll forever.
