Exile Austin Keen Carbon Fibreglass Skimboard

The Exile Austin Keen Carbon Fibreglass Skimboard is the signature Pro model of Austin Keen. Austin, at age of 13 was a World Champion Skimboarder. So his board has all the features to excel your boarding performance. The Pro model gives you the exact features used by Austin. Austin’s board uses aerospace grade carbon fibre along with premium epoxy resin and lighter stronger fibreglass. So you get a lighter, stronger super responsive board that will perform in the smallest to biggest conditions. A fuller nose and tail, a double ender with a full pin tail,gives you perfect weight distribution. So in changes of direction you get faultless smooth flow. The carbon keeps your rocker flatter, faster. When you do flex you get great instant recoil, the energy boosting you into your next move. Double wrapped rails give extra durability so protecting the lightweight EPS foam core.

How Exile Works

If you’re not sure what it’s all about here’s a quick overview of how skimboards work. Skimboards are normally used to catch waves right on the shore. So they’re not designed to paddle on and tiny compared to a surfboard. The way they work is that you run on the sand then throw the board down when there’s a thin layer of water washed up over the sand. You run and jump on as the board is in motion. So it’s almost like skating. The board’s surface area and speed keep you from sinking. The board glides at high speed almost on the sand where there’s barely any water, where you’d think it impossible to surf. As you become proficient you can skim from the shore out to the shore break and so do big surfing turns on the waves using your skim speed.
