Why doesn't skim boarding get any attention on this board?

i think it's cool when they glide into the wake and do the pseudo surfing thing.

How much harder is it compared to other board sports like surfing, snowboarding, skating?

thinking about trying it since I'm an east coast fag and people say you can skim anytime. Plus, our surfing conditions on the east coast aren't nearly as good as the west.

a lot. like imagine if to get started on a skateboard you had to sprint at 105% of maximum effort for several seconds, throw your board straight down a ramp and jump on, then once you've done that the other side of the ramp might cease to exist or have changed shape completely by the time you get there.

East coast is good for kitesurfing and all the related boardsports depending on where you are.

would skimming help learn other board sports down the road, or are the skills not transferable?

Pretty much yeah, if you are actually good at skimboarding you'll pick up surfing in no time. As for why they don't talk about it, skimboarding is pretty much only cool if you are skimboarding waves, flatland is lame as hell. Might as well skate over the lameness that is flatland.

Raza isn't cool, no one cares about flatland skimboarding. It's dumb as hell and is for hipsters who are too dumb to pick up a skateboard.
