      @Zayy992 I grew up there, it’s a very small Island, and the beach is just one long stretch. So, access it from any point you want and take a stroll. ❤

    You need to do some research on what type of skim board you need, to do the type of skimboarding you want to do. Plus you need to get the right size for your weight. But I hate to break it to you but one that goes out into the waves is not going to be less than 100 bucks.
