that was super cool.
just for fun i tried weighing the pros and cons of this vs. [park] skiing,  heres what i found:
- warm weather is a definite pro
- you get to hang out at the beach,  about = to hanging out at wicked mountains
- tricks look just as fun,   cant really do jumps though ('street' only)
- way less expensive
- lacks the ability to do much else besides tricks;  skim boarding without tricks gets bored quickly whereas skiing is still a whole ton of fun when youre out of the terrain park.
that was pointless i guess,   but i want to try skim boarding tricks!
