A good place to skim here in Davao City is at Mer Grande Resort in Dumoy Toril. I was able to witness how these skimboarding fanatics made their way to the waves to do their thing. So smooth and cool.
With me are Bonita, Bakokoy, Melvin, Taweng, Alit and the owner of the skim board - Loscelle.
Skimboarding or skimming is defined by wikipedia as a boardsport in which a skimboard (a smaller, sleeker version of a surfboard) is used to ride on an incoming wave. Unlike surfing, skimboarding begins on the beach, with the skimboarder running and dropping their board onto the thin wash of previous waves. They use their momentum to 'skim' out to breaking waves, which they then catch back into shore in a manner similar to surfing. Another aspect of skimboarding is 'flatland' which involves performing tricks derived from skateboarding such as ollies and shuv-its on the wash of waves without catching shorebreaks.
Posted sana more pictures but nobody wants to get hold of the camera kasi gusto lahat humawak sa skim board.
Well, kahit na nga ako gusto na ring bumili ng sarili kong skimming board. Try nyo rin, nakaka-addict, promise!
