D6 SurfSkimmer with Gripper Bar Review\u2026<\/h3>\n

\"dnote_03\"<\/p>\n

Kids can play at the beach for hours. With all that sand and water, there’s no end to the activities they can come up with. Have they ever tried surf skimming? What is that you say? It’s when you use a lightweight board to ‘skim’ across the thin layer of \u00a0water left on the sand with the waves rolling and out. We took our D6 SurfSkimmer out to the coast to give it a try. It was a bit difficult to keep the kids’ attention . . .<\/p>\n

The board is designed for children ages 5-10 but has a weight limit of 150 lbs. Since surf skimming was new to all of us, the girls were a bit apprehensive at trying it out. So, as the good mom I am, I volunteered to show them ‘how it’s done’. Uhm, yeah, it was pretty obvious I had no idea what I was doing either \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

The D6 SurfSkimmer is unique in that it has a removable bar attached. This bar is supposed to help new riders learn how to skim by providing a bit more stability and control. The official description says:<\/p>\n

It’s the first of its kind product with Gripper Technology and an easily removable handle. \u00a0It’s the\u00a0perfect skimboard or bodyboard for an entry level action sports fan. \u00a0The handle easily comes off so each of the boards has the ability to act as a traditional skimboard or bodyboard. \u00a0While the big kids are out there shredding while the little guys look on in envy, now they can join the fun in a safe way with the removable handle\u2026making moms and dads feels good!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m not sure if it was the beach conditions (i.e. too steep of a drop) or just our lack of know-how but we found it pretty hard. The most adventurous to keep practicing with the board was one of my daughter’s friends. She’s only 12 years old but is super tall and very athletic. Even she had a tough time. This is what much of our beach time looked like:<\/p>\n
