The Hornet Shape has been in our lineup since 2018. It is the culmination of over a year of R&D with our elite team of riders to take our most popular Hybrid Shape and make it THAT much better. We've taken the Hybrid Shape and drawn in the tail profile to make it narrower and slightly more pointed. This creates a shape that performs much like the Hybrid, BUT is ultra-responsive under the lip and has extra 'hold' on the face of larger, steeper waves. Ideal for average to above-average conditions. This shape will not disappoint!
This is the board that changed it all. Many have tried to copy this board, but all have failed. Unlike most skimboard companies, the most popular board we sell is also the most expensive board we sell. Why, you ask? 'Cause, it’s just that good. The perfect balance of weight, strength and stiffness combine to make the most popular high-end skimboard ever. Every trick in the book, with no corners cut, makes this the best value in skimboarding. We have customers still riding these boards from when our company was founded in 2002. You want the best? This is it. Come and get it!
Carbon Fiber is practically synonymous with top-of-the-line in any industry. This fabric is highly coveted for its extreme strength and stiffness. Exile uses only Aerospace Grade Carbon Fiber and Epoxy resin, making these boards stronger, stiffer and lighter than our fibreglass boards. Truly the best skimboard money can buy and the trusted construction of all our top Professional riders.

- Hybrid Rocker: The Hybrid Rocker is what we put on 90% of the boards we produce, and is the most versatile skimboard rocker for skimming anything from the Gulf Coast of Florida to Cabo. It clocks in roughly at 2.25" in the nose and about .125" in the tail with a fairly good size flat spot in the middle of the board. This allows the board to transition from sand to water easily, be super fast, and turn on a dime. If you aren't sure, this would be our pick!
- NT Finish: This finish combines the strength of our classic textured finish, with great cosmetics for improved looks with no compromise in strength. Some sanding is required for proper traction adhesion.
- Flat Deck: This deck option is the standard skimboard deck option seen on most skimboards.
