Skimboarding at night can be a lot of fun (just make sure you don’t have a black board!). Whether you’re under a full moon or at a lit boardwalk, sometimes the best time to ride waves is at night in the dark. You can’t always get the perfect high tide during mid-day.
I’ve skimmed at night several times, of course, I don’t skim at a remote beach that is pitch black.

There’s something calming about being on the beach at night time… nothing but you, the board and the waves. You don’t have to worry about bystanders or shoreline fisherman. You can just go out there and skim.

When skimboarding at night it’s best to be with someone else. Not just for safety reasons, but it’s always best to have someone else watching you just in case the board goes flying out from under you. You don’t want your $300+ skimboard floating off to sea. Also, make sure that you put plenty of wax on your board. That will prevent you from slipping.
