i have been kiteboarding for a couple of years with a twin tip and have been trying out a skim board - i can do fine when starting in deep water but having a very difficult time taking off in water 2 to 6 in deep - i seem to get stuck on the sand and cannot get started skiming - when i put my weight on the board while flying the kite at 12 then diving it while pulling back with my body and tring to put weight on the back of the board i just end up getting pulled off - i know there must be a better technique - any help out there - thanks in advance - brian
