Skim Style Wakesurf Board FAQs
What is a skim style wakesurf board?
A skim style wakesurf board is designed for quick spins, shuvits, and technical tricks behind the boat. Skim boards are typically thinner, smaller, have sharper rails to make surface tricks easier, and most have a smaller single fin for a loose, skate-like feel.
Who should ride a skim style board?
Skim style boards are best suited for intermediate to advanced riders who want to unlock spins, ollies, and technical maneuvers. Beginners can ride them too, but skim boards are generally less stable than surf style boards. If you love a loose, playful ride and want to develop your trick game, a skim style board is perfect for you.
What's the difference between skim style and surf style wakesurf boards?
The main difference comes down to performance and feel: skim style boards are lighter, thinner, and more slippery for tricks and spins, while surf style boards are thicker, more stable, and designed for carving and down-the-line speed. Skim boards are more technical; surf boards are more powerful.
How do I choose the right size skim style board?
When picking a skim style board, consider your weight, skill level, and riding goals. A slightly bigger skim board offers more forgiveness for beginners, while smaller boards spin faster for technical tricks. Check each board’s recommended weight range — and for more help, check out our full Wakesurf Board Size Chart & Buying Guide.
What brands of skim style wakesurf boards do you carry?
Are skim style boards good for beginners?
Some larger skim boards can be beginner-friendly, but overall, skim style boards are trickier to learn on than surf style boards. If you're a beginner and want to learn skim style, the Ronix Blunt Nose Skimmer is a great board to start with because it has sharper, rounded rails (not as loose) and three fins for more stability — we recommend starting with more fins and working your way to a single fin setup as you progress. Need more options? Check out our guide to the Best Beginner Wakesurf Boards.
Can I customize the fins on a skim style board?
Yes! Many skim boards feature customizable fin setups. Some beginner skim boards come with three fins for more control — similar to a surf style wakesurfer — but still have the sharper edges of a skim style board. These can also be considered Hybrid Wakesurfers. Adjusting your fin setup lets you fine-tune how loose or stable your ride feels.
What’s the best boat speed for wakesurfing with a skim style board?
Most riders find the sweet spot between 10–15 mph, depending on your boat, ballast setup, and wave shape. A clean, well-shaped wake makes it easier to stay in the pocket and land technical tricks.
Do I need any accessories with my skim style wakesurf board?
Absolutely — a wakesurf rope is essential for easier starts and for helping you find the wave’s sweet spot faster. Wakesurf ropes are shorter than traditional wakeboard or waterski ropes to ensure better positioning. We also recommend protecting your board with a wakesurf bag during storage and travel.
How quickly do you ship wakesurf boards?
We ship fast! Orders usually leave our warehouse within 1–2 business days. Plus, we offer free ground shipping on orders over $100 — so you can hit the water with your new skim board even sooner.
