Listen up everyone, if your serious about skimboarding you should know who Exile Skimboards is. Company founders Aaron Peluso and Andy Chiavetta have really changed the skimboarding world for the better with their low priced boards and great build quality. Aaron Peluso whos owns SkimOnline, has the biggest resource of skimboarders in the world. Seeing first hand what the riders want and look for have allowed Exile Skimboards to become a leader in the industry.

First of all I’d only recommend investing in an Exile if you want to get into wave riding seriously. If you want to rip it up every weekend definitely look into getting one, because it will last. I’ve personally owned two separate Exile’s and they were both top notch boards. Dealing with Henry over at Exile was always awesome and there more then happy to answer any questions you have.

Anyway my current skimboard is a Carbon Pro Shape with 3/4 foam and you have to love how light, strong and responsive the carbon is. There’s certainly a reason all the pros are using carbon these days for their boards. The carbon version will set you back about $450, with the Eglass and Sglass versions costing $365 and $395 respectively. I personally think carbon is worth the investment if your serious because it will really help not set you back when you want to advance your skills. I’m not saying the board makes the rider because I fully know theres pros out there who could rip a plank of wood, all I’m saying is if you want the best you might as well get the carbon.

With Exile having such riders as Grady Archbold, Paulo Prietto, Brendan Stevens, Brandon Sears and Brad Domke on their team its no wonder there becoming a hit among the people. These are guys going out there and constantly winning contests and having great heats. Anyway make sure to check out Exile Skimboards the next time your looking to pick up a board, you won’t be dissapointed!
