WHAT DOES SKIMBOARD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

skimboard

Skimboarding

Skimboarding is a boardsport in which a skimboard is used to glide across the water's surface to meet an incoming, breaking wave, and ride it back to shore. Wave riding skimboarders perform a variety of surface and air maneuvers, at various stages of their ride, out to, and back with, the wave. Some of these are known as "wraps," "frontsides," "backsides," "big spins," "bigger spins," "360 Shuvs," etc. Unlike surfing, skimboarding begins on the beach by dropping the board onto the thin wash of previous waves. Skimboarders 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 shove-its on the wash of waves without catching shore breaks. Skimboarding originated in Southern California when lifeguards wanted an easy way to get across the beaches of Laguna. Skimboarding has developed since then to extreme riding into big shorebreak.
