Skim 30A

Your Local Skim Board Rentals & Sales

Surfing + Skating = Skimboarding

Get ready for a wild ride on the water! Skimboarding is like surfing’s cool cousin who hangs out by the shore. You grab a sleek, flat board called a skimboard and throw it onto the wet sand. Then, with a burst of energy, you jump onto it and glide across the thin layer of water, catching waves and pulling off sick tricks. It’s a rad mix of surfing and skateboarding, requiring balance, agility, and a sense of adventure.

Skimboarding brings endless fun, adrenaline, and good times at the beach. Whether you are a newbie or a pro, Gulf Wind Paddle & Surf shop has the board for you. We carry all the best brands and many different sizes and types of skim boards. We will walk you through the process and get you on the best board for you.

We have a huge selection of boards & kayaks for rent. Our staff will deliver to your door, anywhere from Destin to 30A.

Great service and excellent selection. I got quality body boards for the family here. They worked great on our vacation. Will return here for a surf board in the future.

Excellent customer service with superb selection of equipment! I came into GulfWind looking for my first longboard. Instead of overwhelming me or treating me like a “newbie” they explained everything I needed to know. I left with an awesome new board and lots of wonderful advise. The father-son staff are really nice and treated my family with kindness, respect, and a genuine interest. We will definitely be back for years to come!

We were from out of town looking for my sons first skim board. Staff (father &son) were super helpful knowledgeable and friendly. Unfortunately the board had some manufacturer issue and was cracking /chipping along the edge after 1 days use and my son was devastated. The staff was incredible and made it right no questions asked. I was so relived as my son had saved / worked hard for this. You don’t find service like this anymore, first class!! I wanted to be sure to review for others to know and no surprise every other review / customer has left 5 stars as well with similar comments about how great their experience was. Definitely recommend these guys!
