Skimmin'

Very similar to this one, it was one incredible ride.

 

For those not familiar with it, skimboarding is like surfing, only you start in reverse. You start on the beach with a short, thin skimboard. Timing is critical - you wait to see your wave developing then run down the beach throwing your board down in the shallow water in front of the rising wave and then jump aboard. You skim the surface on momentum alone and meet the incoming wave with a sharp cut back across the face. The short board can really crank the turns.
