Certainly you can fake skill for a short period of time.
But it does not take long...
...to realize you look more like a dancer than a skimboarder.
A great vacation in York, Maine this past week yielded many humiliating pictures, but these were the most entertaining by far. Skimboarding is fun, but plan on a few bruises and scraped knees while learning the basics. Also, it is possible to be further humiliated by a wife who picks it up more quickly than you.
York, Maine vacation tips:
York is a small beach town in Maine. It is an excellent place for a family vacation. Get to the beach early, secure a plot of sand, plan on at least a day or two of rain, and go in late July or August when the weather is warmest. Note that Maine restaurants try to replicate wintertime indoors, so dress in layers for evening dining. Be sure to visit Portsmouth, NH for tax-free shopping, and Kittery, ME for outlet shopping less than a half-hour from York. Mini-golf - a priority for myself and the missus - is located about twenty minutes north in Wells, ME. Cute shops for girlfriends and spouses are located in Ogunquit and Cape Neddick, ten minutes north of York.
