Full details
The Circle One 46-inch skimboard is designed for beginner to intermediate riders weighing up to 75kg who want a versatile, high-performance board for shallow water maneuvers. Crafted by shaper Jeff Townsley, this hand-finished board offers an excellent balance of agility and strength, making it ideal for practicing shore break tricks, wakesurfing, or light wind kitesurfing. While it provides a responsive ride for its target weight range, riders exceeding the 75kg threshold may find the board struggles with buoyancy and stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your skimboard, always apply a high-quality traction pad or surf wax to the deck before use to ensure a secure grip. After every session, rinse the board thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt and sand, which can degrade the finish over time. Store the board in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight; prolonged UV exposure can yellow the finish and heat can weaken the epoxy bond. Avoid dragging the board over rocky surfaces, as the fiberglass finish is optimized for sand and smooth water surfaces.
