It may seem, at first glance, like the training-wheels version of surfing.
But the athleticism – and the comic whoopsie-daisies – of skimboarding has their passionate devotees.
The sport also has a pro tour, which once again glides into Sea Bright this weekend for the two-day pro/am SkimBash 2012, and is worth a look-see.
