Proper skimboarding where you pump out to ride real waves are much harder to come by and you need a steeply shelving beach which has a clean break close to shore and there aren't very many of them with a good wet run in,plus wetsuits make things more difficult.
I'm not sure if this link works but this gives a good idea of what some of our shores might have in store. Refracted waves like The Wedge http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2sUbVwxg7B0&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D2sUbVwxg7B0

A quick googling says there are one or two dedicated skimboarding sites, might be a useful source?
That you in pic 3? Goof.
Chris, I think gav's on number 5. It's nice for me to not have to ask permission from anyone this time. I'll need to get in the gym and the pool to prepare.
Thinking of making a trip down the Llyn this weekend, with the impending doom forecast for sun. Strange one I think, was thinking might be able to get away with surfing some spots on the north coast that never get surfed..? Huge huge swell height but relatively short period, and super windy, dont know what do people think is going to happen
