Product Description
Combining modern surfboard technology with skimboard theories.
RESULT: A skimboard that more closely resembles a surfboard. Thicker, narrower, with more rocker, this design is loose and responsive. Excellent for steep beaches with thick, powerful shore break.
This design excels at beaches where there is steep banks and powerful shorebreak. Designed for the wave-riding aspect of skimboarding. But don't be fooled by this description, this design will also work well in pretty much any skimboard condition you can find, from flat water, to as big as you can handle. Very fast and responsive, Maui Skimmers have a few design features that are different from standard skimboard designs.The surfboard-like shape is a very user friendly design that is easy to ride for beginners as well as advanced riders.
The added rocker, or bottom curve resists sticking in the sand and easily rides over any bumps in the sand as well as chop in the water. The added rocker also helps in pulling off steep re-entries and radical maneuvers. Surfboard style rails also ride right over the bumps making the ride even smoother.
Maui Skimmers also have a feature not available on other skimboards, the channel bottom.Unique to Maui Skimmers, the channels are four shallow grooves shaped into the tail that act like the fins on a surfboard, giving more control during hard carves and sharp turns. The channels also help to straighten the board if you happen to throw it on the sand sideways, which is even more user freindly.
NOTE: These boards ship directly from Maui. We have found that the cheapest way to ship from the Island is by using UPS 2 Day Select, which costs approximately $80.00. We have included that shipping cost in the options below for the board. When you check out, select ground shipping, which should only be around $5.00. Please do not select any other method of shipping as you are already being charged for expedited shipping. If you are from Hawaii, give us a ring at 949.313.7212 to make shipping arrangements.
