Skimboards come in several different materials: wood, fiberglass, plastic or foam (a composite material). They can be made from many kinds of wood such as bamboo or maple. Skimboard decks are also often customized by riders with various designs and colors painted onto them in order to personalize their boards so they stand out among others’.
