This is the place to talk about riding styles, tricks, conditions, what works, what doesn't on your skimboard. Wondering about what skimboard to get for kiting? Post it all here.

im a belmont local. ive been there almost two years. oops im mean here?

a cool thing about kite skimming is you can hall ass in the shallows where rocks usually rip your fins out!! thats also one of the bad things.
as you are halling ass over stones.

been light wind with small waves, but at least the kelp is super thick. perfect

fins seem like cheating

Belmont Shores - nice.

I got a client in Long Beach and usuallly bring my gear if i can swing it - what is the season down there? Can you drive to points north or south(baja) to find wind for a long weekend. Did drive to Jalama to find wind - that place was sick.

Agreed with the fins and rocks - at the Sand Bar in the gorge - these great little islands setup in a inch or two of water - crzy fun connecting skinny channels - but the place is peppered with rocks - after a couple of hours I'm usually beat up worse than the board.

Cheers

Banana is technically a berrie. I know that because I don't eat any vegetables starting with a B but I do eat bananas.

Brussel sprout :evil:
Cauliflower :evil: (Ok, it's not a B but close enough. Besides, it's a B in swedish, "Blomkål")
Broccoli :evil:

:D

No, no, no, you got it all wrong. The red one is called chili and is a fruit. Although they look similar in shape they taste entirely different.

Hedburn :?:
