thanks man. it's on the tchefuncte river. amos throws those shoves down like it's his job too. and yeah i agree, wakesurfers are taking the shape of high end skimboards. zap skimboards manufactures the phase 5 wakesurfing brand and i got a chance to skim one in florida. it's pretty much the same thing.

when i lived in florida i was all about skimboarding. i own a zap pro comp and a zap wedge and at the end of the day wakeskating we all take turns wake skimming. it's so easy to just glide on that thing.

i've got 3 shuvs on it and surface 1080's on it. i love wake skimming Smash

skimboarding at the beach is epic too. too bad the gulf doesnt get shizzle for waves.

DMoneyy, behind my 14ft boat with a 15hp tiller. Those were the days. That thing used like as much gas as your winch. Cool

i lived in tampa and the gulf was horrible, we went over to vilano about every week or so to skim. just st augustine used to be good, but the hurricane had messed up the bar and destroyed the beach when i was there in 2005.

thanks for all the + responses guys. amos and i have been skimming down here for quite some time. good, cheap way to beat the heat.

and cheapskate, cabo was incredible. just getting used to the waves down there was an experience in itself. they're so big and so heavy.
