The UK Skimboarding Spot Map

Help us build the most complete skimboarding map in the country

One of the questions we get asked more than anything is:

“Where can I skim in the UK?”

And honestly… it’s not always easy to answer.

The UK has loads of skim potential; long flat beaches, tucked-away estuaries, hidden sandbars, river mouths, harbour edges; but most of the best spots are passed around by word of mouth or discovered by accident.

🌍 The UK Skim Spot Map

We've started a public Google Map that pins skim-friendly locations all around the country, from well-known beaches to lesser-known gems.

This map is for:

• Beginners looking for flat, safe places to learn

• Riders travelling and hunting new spots

• The community to share and grow UK skimboarding

Why we’re doing this

Skimboarding in the UK is still small compared to surfing or skating. A big reason is simple:

People don’t know where to go.

A shared map:

• Makes skimboarding more accessible

• Helps grow local scenes

• Encourages exploration and progression

• Connects riders across the country

The more spots we uncover, the more people we’ll see sliding.

🤝 Help us add more spots

This is where you come in. You can submit:

• Beach name / location

• Best tide (if you know it)

• Short description

• Any hazards to watch out for

Let’s build something for the whole UK skim scene.

See you on the sand 🤙
