Element Core Blunt Nose Skimmer
A WIDE, FAST, STABLE RIDING SKIM BOARD.
A skimmer with extra speed, stability, grip, and dampening. This wide, speedy, and stable-riding skim board has the feel of a thin profile, sharp rail, pintail traditional skimmer, but has the nose of a wide longboard so you can jump on the throttle quicker, easier, and with more stability. This design opens an entire spectrum of tricks only possible on a skimmer – but with the stability and controlled speed of a traditional surfer. Now you can ride a skimmer on even smaller size wakes and feel more confident with your tricks due to the blunt nose shape. This surfer is built with a Paulownia wood exterior and mixed with our lightweight surf core. Two additional outside nub fins add stability and versatility. Also, an easy board to learn on with a thin profile that makes it easier for deep water starts, a wide nose for more stability and 3 fins for added grip.

SKIMMER
A fast, responsive style of board where the rider’s position is centered with a more balanced body. These sharp rail, thin profiled boards react quicker for people that don’t have a lot of time to waste. Preferred by surfers that like to have more feel with their board itself – and not just on fins. They can break free easier for 360’s on the water or shuvits off it. A more forgiving style of board when riding behind a steep wake because you typically ride this style of board at a shorter length (making it less likely to dunk the nose). Because of how speedy these models are – you can get away with a shorter, lightweight length.
HYBRID
For riders that like a little bit of everything. They want to generate power through their bottom turns, but still be able to leave the waterline quickly and easily. A growing style of wakesurfing designed for bigger airs leaving the wake but can still lock in for a proper cutback.
SURF
Toss some buckets with some smooth, linked turns inspired by your favorite saltwater surfer. Traditional surf shapes have a thicker profile and a mellower rail/bevel allowing a rider to pivot a turn more from their back foot and are best ridden with either a deeper fin, or multiple fins. Riders usually apply more pressure on the back half of the board and generate more force through a turn. Still very capable of doing tricks on and off the water – just with a fluid like feel.
