Skimboarding

Skimboarding is a water boardsport akin to surfing but starting on the sand instead of in the water. Started on the Hawaiian islands but popularized in Laguna Beach, California. The sport has two disciplines, ocean and flatland. Ocean skimmers ride out to waves close to shore much like surfing. Flatland skimmers utilize rails and ramps much like skateboarders.
