    Anyone around screenprint surfboard/skimboard laminates?

    My brother and I just took over the Meyer Skimboard shop and are building skimboards here locally in Destin. We're having a heck of a time finding someone that does a 2 color screenprint on either rice paper or tissue paper, preferably not the latter. They are simple logos, black and white...

    Bungee skimboarding!!!

    Kurt.... We've tried just about everything imaginable to see what works the best and hands down the skimboard is the way to go. We strapped into a kiteboard and it worked but being strapped in isn't really a good thing if you know what I mean.(one more thing to contend with when you eat it)...

    Bungee skimboarding!!!

    So a buddy of mine (Chad Knaepple) was telling me about these kids over in Panama City who are skimming by way of a fully stretched bungee and getting launched into the shorebreak @ 30mph plus!!

    Stand-up paddle surfing, it's a BLAST!!!

    I'm not trying to sell anybody one- thats for the shops who carry them. All I'm saying is that if there is anyone out there interested come on down and rent one and see how you like it. It's only $25/hour, if your over it and think it's not even remotely fun your only out $25. I love surfing...

    Stand-up paddle surfing, it's a BLAST!!!

    It really isn't hard at all to just paddle it around on flat water- catching waves with it takes some practice. Western lake would be an excellent place to get started. Anywhere nice and calm will increase the learning curve greatly. The board is extremely stable, especially the larger...

    Dynamite Surfing, literally!!!

    I hate to be the downer here but I seriously have to question whether or not this really would work and if what we're seeing isn't some kind of computer generated filmwork. If you check ou the waves crashing in the background it sure seems a bit computermade to me. Its hard to get water to...
