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

Skimboarding (or skimming) is a sport which involves riding a board on an outgoing wave. ... Unlike surfing, skimboarding starts on the beach. The skimboarder stands within running distance from the point of entry into the water with the skimboard in hand and waits for a wave. As the desired wave approaches, the skimboarder runs towards the water. Depending on conditions, the board is dropped on a thin layer of water from a receding wave or on the thicker water in front of the wave. Then he or she runs onto the board one foot at a time using a technique known as the "One-Step" while properly positioning the feet and maintaining balance towards the centre of the board.  4, record 2, English, - skimboarding
