Square skimboards are super fast, and turn incredibly quickly. The rails are a little more round, so on frontside lines I personally had a little trouble slipping off of the face of the wave, but I was able to adjust. Overall, the board really really impressed me (as well as almost every person that tried it on the beach).

Because the board doesn’t have a “tail,” you have a little less “edge” to hold in the face, but it would also enable you to kind of slide around more. This made wrapping quicker because you could kind of slide around the turn. It also made holding a frontside line a little tougher for me at first because the point of the tail isn’t there to dig in.

And remember kids, no board is perfect. Different sizes, shapes, and materials have different pro’s and con’s. There is always a tradeoff. I personally see the Square board as a really fast floaty board that is super fun to ride, and highly recommend it.

keep shredding!
