The skim board is a strange beast, it was developed in the 60's for kids like me who couldn't afford a proper surfboard. In our day it was a simple ply disk, which was skimmed along the shallow water as a wave receded, and one would run and mount it, skimming along on the sand.
Times have changed, and the boards are now a little more extreme. The object now is to skim into an oncoming wave, and using it's power to jettison oneself skywards, execute a series of elegant aerial manoeuvres!

Oh goodie ... I will enjoy this series of 4 ... here he is our intrepid modern youth ... surveying the situation for a target ... where to get the most Gs for his buck ...
i think you will enjoy them! Specially the way he changes his outfit every second shot!
You mean you're not doing those elegant maneuvers these days.
I do lots of elegant maneuvers. One of my favorites is to crawl out of bed in the morning very elegantly (which means I don't fall on my you-know-what)...and then I use my arm in an especially elegant way to hoist a cup of java (which means I don't spill all over myself)...
Well, you get my drift. Most of my maneuvering these days is with a camera!
;-)
I do think this is a superb photograph...you maneuvered that shutter very well!
Thanks for your special comment on Ocala DP!

Very nice shot! Looking forward to more.
I like the reflection on the wet sand
