Born on the West Coast of British Columbia


Jake's Skimboarding Page originally came on line in 1997 as a hobby sight. It still is. I discovered skimming back in the 60's, carried into the 70's, forgot about it in the 80's and rediscovered it in the 90's. Once my own kids were old enough to take up the sport, I built their first boards. It wasn’t long before they were getting their friends into the skimming. Eventually, that led to building more boards and selling them on the beach. I never built them with any plans to get rich. I built them for fun. We had some wonderful summers on the beach.

This page will give you a sample of some of the boards I built and sold. Email me any pictures of boards you have made and I will post them here. I'd love to see your designs.

The boards I make are perfect for flat beach skimming. Want to learn how to build your own board?


Building your own skimboard is not that difficult. The savings can really kick in when you build more than one.
