Thanks Jason and Aya both for commenting positively on my boarding. I don’t know what the deal was that day- I just suddenly decided to go for it.

I think I maybe have the basics down now, or at least I understand the dynamics of how to get on and stay on the board. But I still have little understanding of how to time, hit, and ride a wave.

I’ll cut a video of my out-takes- which will basically be me falling, flying, and flipping off the board a whole bunch of times.

I think you are brave Aya to try the “quick on” technique!

Speed and power will come soon. Remember, my skimboard is way too big and heavy for you. Once you get your own smaller and lighter board, you’ll be able to run faster and skim with more power!

That day was really hard to catch a wave and wet sand….I was such a coward to fall down….cuz it’s so painful.
