Ae Where to...

Hey i Was wondering where you guyz pick up your skimboards from...
Im after a decent board but I dont wanna spend much on it been looking at the Woody Victorians on the net but if theres some where else yous know of it'd be appritiated.

Not to excited about getting a wooden board cause it doesnt seem as progressive
Does anywhere in darwin even stock a decent skimboard range or can i order one in from city beach or something..?

Whats your preference on tides for skimming in Darwin, Cas , mindil or nightcliff..?

Thanks

Hey I looked into it and beach bums in fannie bay stock nemo skim boards apperently on the nemo site it says thats who handles their boards in The NT anyway. Are their boards any gud ?

I checked out cas beach yesterday down near the surf club at about 6 30. high tide was at 6:09 I believe Im not sure which way the swell was comming in, Its the first time Ive been down there with the tide that high and it was actually like right up to the rocks on the left.

But the conditions were pretty sweet there were actually waves that were close enough to get onto. the breaks were real close up to the nice wash or what ever its called If you had the skillz lol I seem to lack.I think you could actually catch some wave action.
Not long after dark the mosiquito's were out like crazy tho was pretty effed up.

Anyway Anyone thats interested in teaching me how to skim better (as I suck pretty bad at the moment. Let me know.

HAd to edit this the waves were proberly only like 4 ft or so but its darwin and i havent been to the beach for a while so yer lol their counted as waves to me.

[>>skimjake<<]

give the guy a break hes obviously talking about the face of the wave not the actual size..

[skimon]

fuk up mate i know that im saying hes dreaming if he thinks the skim is good in NT, i said go to flatland cause there aint no skim in nt.

[Tengi]

but

what sort of flat land boards are the go , proberly will be hitting up coffs harbour an SA sometime next year. So i dont know i was more less after board advice

[>>skimjake<<]

yeahhh skimon i wasnt saying that the skim was good if you actually read my comment.. all i was saying is that the face of the wave he was talking about was 4ft thats not that big.

[skimon]

yer na i know what your saying was just being a smart ass.. yes 4ft face isnt big face wise..

[Tengi]

All good I was alil annoyed bout how stupid i looked but f**k it , Be heading down to SA or coffs harbour this year can you guys suggest Beaches. Pretty eager an ill be hittin the beach where ever i go comming from Darwin an all It cant get much worse lol.

though I still rekon the waves are a bit better then everyone makes out.

An I still need a skim board kicking my self i didnt grab a jacks one from City Beach Im not sure why but alot of places seem to do a recall on their skim boards i saw some on boxing day at city beach (jacks) and there were some in the catalogue for Rebel sports but both recalled them and sent them back down south or some thin.

Can anyone recomend some... Is nemo anygood would it be okay to jus kinda jump on a expensive board from the start or whats the go with the learning curve and board maintnance
