Tag: Skimboards For Sale

I’ve been working incredibly hard this year making sure shelves are stocked coming into this very intense time of year. One of the most common questions at this time of year is “Will I get my board in time?”.

Don’t take it from me, take it from the people that are moving them around, NZ Post. Screenshots direct from their website

I can assure you I do my absolute best to get everyone their skim on time which brings me to my next point…… My own Holidays.

I wait all year for the Summer rush so over the silly season I place sending and getting people their skims priority over having some time off but I will be moving around a little bit. My very tentative plans revolving around the post is that it remains open to the 23rd but then you have 4 days of no movement following that.

Post reopens on the 28th – 30 Dec and I will be available for posting out but from the 31 Dec you have 4 days of no movement with normal business resuming from the 4th of Jan 2023 (phew). Please allow for things to be moving a little slower than usual.

Please feel free to take advantage of this information and use it to plan accordingly, I will be.

Last year an extremely talented rider from the Philippines came to my attention. A certain varial flip on a homemade skim was worthy of a deeper dive into his skimming. This rider is Daniel Nyeng.

After a little stretch of sponsorship we started discussing the idea of a dedicated Pro Model. This Pro Model was designed with the help of Daniel for Daniel. A Modified Kingfish shape that is a tough longer, a touch narrower with a slightly deeper fish tail and a little wing, to help free it up.

Watch the video detailing his build below

A portion of each Mactail sale goes directly to Daniel to help him build his life in the Philippines.

Some of the skimming Daniel is doing is quite honestly, freakish. Like the buzzer beating varial flip in competition

I have a few in stock and customs available for order. Mactails will be produced in all standard sizes and lay ups.

Finally we have a little project we’ve been working on for a little while, Boards Socks!

The requirements from my end were for them to be simply by design, washable, affordable, can fit more than one board and of course they would need to protect your board from the elements.

My personal boards throughout the years have faired very well without one but I have experienced the most grief (from either the board or other perspective) from abrasion such as when you’re traveling in a car or boat and it sits there vibrating away on things.

These socks are your best protection against that and will help keep them cook in the sun and of course other damage you throw at them. I don’t however advise you to start curling your board across the carpark.

At the time of this blog post these socks will obviously fit all size boards as they’re designed to fit our largest wave skim but there would obviously be a lot of slack if you were to buy one for a Flave or Flatland boards…. Which is why we’re designing them for those models.

$80 sent to your door or $70 at the time of purchasing a board.

Buy online via the store here.

The word “beginner” to me means a fantastic starting platform. Maybe you’re looking to get into Skimboarding or skim some long flat runs. Maybe you’re looking to add to your quiver or skim some rails and obstacles. While the Gromlin is targeted to get you moving as far as possible, as easily as possible, this doesn’t mean it has a limit on performance when it comes to Flatland.

As normal you can browse and buy all Gromlin options here.
