Our verdict

A beginner-level wave-riding skimboard that also handles sand sliding and starter tricks. Artwork is random, so the board you receive will not match the listing photo.

Overview

Not a surfboard, this Zap Wedge is a flat skimboard you drop and ride across wet sand and into shallow waves. The Wedge shape and a Composilite build are made for beginners and growing young skimmers.

The reason to buy is a forgiving beginner shape for gliding over wet sand and riding shore break. It is made in the USA, with a paint finish that varies by board. The limitation is the rider weight limit, and artwork cannot be chosen.

Who it's for

Teenagers and lighter adults in the stated height range can start on sand and move to small shore breaks. Anyone above the weight limit, outside the height range or particular about board art should choose another model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Beginner-friendly wedge shape
  • Handles sand sliding and small waves
  • Handmade in the USA
Cons
  • Rider weight limit is modest
  • Artwork and colors cannot be chosen
  • Listing photo is not the real board
  • Core and deck materials not listed

Performance notes

A skimboard works on speed across a thin film of water, so board size, thickness and rider weight decide how well it glides. Thicker foam adds float and forgiveness for beginners. A pintail shape holds a line and the custom paint does not change how it rides.
