What is Skim Boarding?

So I have had a few people made comments that they have no idea what skim boarding is and have never heard of it. It is so fun and you are missing out. It is done on oceans and some rivers or creeks. there just has to be a smooth surface (sand) and a skim of water. You run and throw this board out on the skim of the water and jump on it and then try and do tricks. You can do any tricks you can do on a skateboard. You can even go into the waves and do tricks. Well good people can and Christian was starting to at the end of our trip. My goal was just to jump on and be able to ride for a little bit. No tricks for this girl. We sometimes skim board on the Virgin River in St. George when the water is really low. It is nice there because it doesn't even hurt when you fall because the sand is so soft.
