Overview
A fiberglass and foam core build forms this entry level skimboard, based on the Wedge series design. It is made in the USA and aimed at beginner to intermediate riders, with a light body the description calls manageable for young riders.
The reason to look at it is the light, simple board for learning the shoreline slide, from a maker that builds it in the USA. The limitation is the muddled size information, where one field and the dimensions field disagree.
Who it's for
Beginners and growing riders who need a light board to build confidence. Riders above the listed weight limit, and anyone who expects the maker to cover normal wear, should skip it.
Pros and cons
- Light enough for young riders
- Fiberglass and foam core build
- Made in the USA
- Covers youth and adult riders
- Size and dimensions fields disagree
- Weight limit is modest
- No coverage for normal wear and tear
Performance notes
A thin foam core with a fiberglass layer holds the board light, which lets a rider run and drop it quickly. The listing says the shape promotes a smooth glide, and rider weight matters because the stated capacity is the ceiling. Impact and wear are excluded from the warranty.
