so i'm thinking, i want a wakesurf board, but i dont really wakesurf enugh to justify the $$$, esepcialy when there is usualy a 04 skimskate in the boat. on the other hand i live 10 min from the beach (have my whole life), and kinda want a skim board, so i have two ideas... <BR> <BR>buy a wakesurfer, take the fin off and use it at the beach. <BR> <BR>buy a fiberglass skimboard, throw a fin on it and use it with the fin at the lake, without the fin at the beach. <BR> <BR>the idea came about because it seem pretty obviouse that phase5 and zap skim board are exactly the same but the wakesurfboards have fins. <BR> <BR>btw, what fin confiuguration to most skim style wakesurfers use?

go with a phase 5, they are the same as a zap (same company)take the fin off for skimming, I do that when i travel to florida in the winter to see grandma I love grandma.

I was considering the same thing. Although i have some wood skim boards...and am going to try putting a fin on one of those for surfing. <BR> <BR>Let us know how it works out, and i'll do the same!

i wud go wit the phase five for sure there sick thats wut i ride u cant go wronge with a phase or u could get a zap it and jus ride it finless ive ridin my phase five finless its i little more slick but u get used to it the fins arnt vary big anyway
