The skimboard is a craft of varying size, usually of some oval, tear-drop, or square shape, though some people use circular boards. The square board is one of the easiest designs to learn on. The best size board, in most cases, is about your mid-chest height. Modern skimboards are made out of fiberglass or carbon fiber and take advantage of a high density foam to serve as a core. ... When this fiberglass or carbon fiber is laid over a shaped piece of foam, saturated with resin and left to cure, a skimboard is made. 1, record 1, English, - skimboard
