Hi,
finish few weeks ago my first skimboard, it ride really smooth.
planning to shape a new one like the maui skimmers, suppose to ride really good on waves.

Looks cool, kinda like a WZ.
What you gonna do for glass?
If I had more skimable waves I would get a maui too.
good luck :)
Glassed with pretty cheap epoxy.
Board kinda heavy but I really enjoy the shape coz standard skim have a very wide nose, I do prefer narrower like surfboard.
Once I will found the perfect shape I enjoy most I will glass a layer of carbon fiber on the bottom and rails.
I like the more surfboard like boards. And the wait is never a problem for surfboards really but the skimboards its a huge difference.
I have a fiberglass ZAP that is heavy but i like it none the less lol.
I think the best most surfboard like board i have ridden is the APEX carbon fiber board. The rails are nice and round not cut off like most skimboards.
post some pics of this board in use, it looks cool
never heard of apex before, post pics if you can.
I’m not promoting these guys for business, I just really like there design and rail shape.
thats them 
Looks good stuff, kinda exile…
im heading more to maui skimmers shapes, i think that boards gonna be sick to ride on waves…
still figure out the shape … in any suggestions … cool
I would go for some super tapered sharp style rails in the tail. My friend has a Firewire that gets super sharp in the tail, I think that would help sticking to the wave. Thickness and length also depend on how big you are and how far out the waves are breaking. You can't hydro on the maui right?
