## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm between two sizes — which should I choose?**
A: Go with the smaller board if you want easier control while you're learning. Choose the larger one for more stability and room to grow into it.

**Q: Is this skimboard right for a beginner?**
A: Yes, as long as the size matches your weight — this is the perfect place to start. Plenty of intermediate and advanced riders stick with it too, for its light weight, responsiveness, and everyday value.

**Q: What does the Right Choice Promise cover?**
A: Every board is covered for 12 months. If something goes wrong in that time, we will replace it at our cost or refund you in full — your choice — and you will not need to send the board back.

**Q: Do I need to wax my skimboard?**
A: No. There is an all-over grip pad already on the board, so you can take it straight to the water.

**Q: Where can I use it — can I catch waves, or ride on dry sand?**
A: These boards are built for riding close to shore, on the thin layer of water that runs over wet sand. If you are quick enough, catching a wave is fine. They are not made for sand sliding on dry sand.
