Boards shaped by hand, not by machine.

Solid wood skimboards, cut, sanded, and sealed one at a time in a garage two blocks from the water.

Experience the thrill of skimboarding

At Shoreline Skimboards, we handcraft custom wooden skimboards that embody quality, durability and most of all creativity. Our passion for skimboarding drives us to create boards that are easy to use for beginners, and still amazingly performing boards for experienced skimboarders. Whether you want to practice your flatland tricks, or you want to catch a small wave, it's possible with Shoreline Skimboards!

"We test every board ourselves before it leaves the shop. If it doesn't skim right, it doesn't go on the rack."

The boards

Two ways to get a board from us: pick one of our three signature designs, or hand us an idea and we'll paint it.

Element design boards

Three signature designs, always in rotation. Same artwork every time, hand-painted onto each board one at a time.

Water element skimboard with a blue and white wave swirl pattern

Custom art boards

Send us an idea — a scene, a character, a color combo — and we'll paint it onto your board. Below are three we've done before, just to show what's possible. Use the form at the bottom of the page to start one.
