We live right by the lake and our summers are filled with visits to the beach on a regular basis! When I was approached about reviewing the D6 SurfSkimmer I had to let my girls check it out! When Morgan was little we lived at the beach in Florida and she used to skimboard. This is similar, but it has a handle kind of like a scooter does. That handle can be removed though to use it as a regular skim board as well.
The handle easily comes off so each board has the ability to act as a traditional skimboard. The 2-in-1 functionality allows for easy learning and advanced maneuvers.
The handle makes this a lot easier for little ones to use. We have only used it once so far and our lake level is really low, which creates a bowl effect at the coast instead of a smooth coastline. This made using the D6 SurfSkimmer a bit harder since it would get deeper instead of being a smooth coast line. Lauren practiced and practiced and started getting the hang of it. It will definitely be a piece of cake for her once the coastline smooths out. Check out this video of her practicing.
See how it catches and jerks to a stop? That is because of the bowl shape of our coastline. Nothing to do with the SurfSkimmer. I think this is a great thing to pick up for your beach time fun this year and I know ours will get used til it’s worn out!

Holey moley – We need one of these for our trip down to Galveston! We could also use it over here at the lake. So fun!!!! Con can’t do the regular skimmers because of his balance issues – this might work for him. I’ll have to check into getting one
Oh dang, just a bit too expensive for us at $69.99 Maybe when the price comes down a bit….
OOOOH, I wonder if maybe they’ll be renting these at the beach. I’ll have to check into that
this looks fun! i don’t live near a beach or lake but this would be good if we go on a beach holiday somewhere!
My boys would LOVE this! How fun.
I watched the kiddos use this in Jersey and it looked like so much fun. I wish we lived closer to water so I could get one for my kids.
Oh wow – that’s awesome! My kids would LOVE one for our beach trip!
Wow, I have never seen one of these before! This looks like something my husband and kids would be ALL over. Off to the website to check it out!
