The Fish is a great board to learn the art of wave riding. The Fish offers the extra flotation and surface area required to speed up the learning process of riding waves and more advanced maneuvers. The wide nose and belly create a stable platform for the advancing skimboarder, while the fish tail assist in speed and agility.
The Pro is the exact shape as the popular Ace only in a different construction. The Pro takes a very simple and clean approach ascetically while holding nothing back in durability and performance. You can expect the same rock solid construction in the Pro that Zap has built it’s reputation for over the last 30 years making skimboards.

ACE
SIZES: 50, 52, 54, 56
This is the ultimate grom board! When shaping this board, we had in mind what younger riders need in a board to help them progress. The result was an outline that has a wider nose and tail while maintaining a streamlined overall shape. This allows the Chimp to be very forgiving when groms are trying to learn a new trick and it provides plenty of float to take on waves. It is super light yet durable enough to withstand the everyday grind that comes along with being grom!
If you want the best performing skimboard at the most affordable price, read on. The Ace boasts all the elements any skimboarder on a budget can take advantage of, and put right to use. The Ace utilizes our brand new, SuperDura™ bottom, a finely tuned rocker, and high performance shape that makes this the perfect fit for both you, and the wave’s pocket.

Get ready to Amp’d on this shred stick. There isn’t one board we have rode that wants to get up and go like the Amp. From your first step on the board, you quickly feel the speed this board has packed into it. The stream-lined outline starting from the Snub tail makes it an all around high performing beast. We decided to make it ¾ tapered rails for maximum float and maneuverability to get the most out of the nimble shape. It comes in four sizes; 50”, 52”, 54”, and 56”.
Same great shape as the Amp, but built with our GatorSkin glass. It is more light and lively then the Amp due to the epoxy performance properties and extra stiffness of the Carbon/Aramid fibers.

ROCKETFISH

ARROWHEAD
SIZES: 51, 53
The Rocket Fish is designed for smaller waves commonly found in Florida and the East Coast. Its fuller nose-to-midsection allows it to be maneuvered off the front foot much more effectively than a traditional shape can. An added ½” of width in the midsection makes this board wider than most its size. This increases speed and overall travel distance when side-slipping out to waves. The double wing fish tail makes riding off the back foot a dream, enabling the rider to dramatically pivot and turn off the back foot without sinking the tail too deep in the water, resulting in a loss of speed. Technical tricks spin faster and more evenly because of its slightly more circular-than-normal shape.
The Arrowhead is designed for riders looking for extra float. It’s wide mid-section helps provide more stability and surface area for side slipping out to waves. The narrow nose and winged pin tail balance the board out allowing its rider to dig the tail and respond quickly. It is a great board for catching hard to reach waves and staying on top of the water with minimal pumping necessary. The Arrowhead was created by long time team rider, Jason Wilson as a board to help with catching siders, liners, and keeping speed in smaller conditions. His focus with the design was to not compromise maneuverability or response while riding a wider board.

PUFFERFISH
SIZES: 51, 53
FILIBUSTER
SIZES: 51, 53, 54, 56
Vroom vroom.. Get ready to get up and go on the Puffer! Cole Hutchinson shaped this board specifically to be able to float and take on the mushiness of the gulf coast waves.The tail is more wide in comparison to the Rocket Fish and is rounded at the tips of the tail. Cole had in mind that he is more heavy on his back foot and having a wider tail allows the board to be more forgiving to those that are back foot heavy. The Puffer Fish is very loose and forgiving on the initial turn on the wave and once you set the edge the board ain’t going to stop unless you fall!
The Filibuster is an updated shape designed by Dave Scott. Dave took the same board he has been riding, and slightly adjusted the nose of the board by making it a little more round and wide. The Filibuster is very fast and responsive since it is a bit more narrow in the tail and 5/8 thickness all around. It works great in large waves but also has excellent pop for technical maneuvers in preferable conditions.

As the saying goes, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, and after more than 5 years of riding this very design, it’s still Steve’s perfect stick! Whether he’s at home on the gulf, or on the east cost, west coast, and abroad, this is his go to board when the skim is good. The Boom Pro features a well balanced curvy outline for maximum maneuverability. A ¾ mid-section thickness for optimal float that gradually thins out to 5/8” thick in the nose and tail for a more responsive feel while turning, better bite down the line, and even weight distribution. As always, built with 2 layers of carbon fiber (1 top + 1 bottom) for added strength and stiffness. Board Specs LENGTH 51” 53” 54” 56”

SIZES: 50, 54, 58
The HELLCAT features a curvy yet balanced outline with fuller a nose and surfboard style squash tail. The increased surface area provides greater planing abilities allowing to you reach waves with a sense of ease. The wide tail is like having a gas pedal under your back foot. You will experience down the line speed that can’t be achieved on pintail style boards. 3/4in center thickness thinning out in nose and tail provides a balance of float and rail sensitivity. Though designed to optimize small to medium size wave potential, this board will take you to places you wouldn’t expect even in larger waves. The HELLCAT is not for the closed minded or faint of heart. Meow.
If you’re ready to slay the waves you need a mighty sword, cue the SWORDFISH. Designed to bridge the gap, the slightly fuller outline, smooth nose curve and “bump” wing swallow tail flow together to deliver a high performance fish shape. The SWORDFISH will rip the smallest of shorebreak apart all while being more than capable of handling the big stuff. 3/4in center thickness thinning out in nose and tail provides a balance of float and rail sensitivity. The waves will quiver in fear when you step afoot the beach yielding your SWORDFISH!

We are excited to release our newest creation designed for the next generation. Years of research and development has produced a board unlike anything else. Harnessing skimboard construction, these boards are faster and more responsive then a regular surfboard. The hard edge and speed-profiled rocker are some of the more obvious features that set these boards in a league of their own. Watch riders on this style board, and you will realize there is uncharted territory when it comes to surfing waves - a whole new world of possibilities. The volume of each skim-surfboard has been carefully calculated to make paddling into waves with a much smaller board possible. Each one of our skim-surfboards feature a domed deck with a unique taper that runs around it’s rails to the center of the board. This targets the volume directly where the rider lays down to paddle into waves acting as a float assist.
We build each skim-surfboard with a ultra light foam core that yields maximum volume to buoyancy ratio. Each skim surfboard is glassed using our own GatorSkin Super Tuff Glass in conjunction with a 45 diagonal weave layer we call X-Glass. The X-Glass adds an entire new level of durability. When combined with GatorSkin, X-Glass offers balanced stiffness and flex for a harmonious feel that is built to take a beating. Long time team rider and now a house shaper at Zap; Dave “Monster” Armstrong has spearheaded the skimsurfing collection and dialed in the first set of three shapes available for 2017. Each board is unique and allows for a multitude of conditions and riding preference. Our skimsurfing line is currently only offered with FCS fins.

GO FINLESS.
Your complete guide to ditching the skegs
The Zap Skimsurfing Collection has been designed to be versatile. The unique six FCS fin box setup allows for numerous fin configurations. For riders who are searching for maximum grip, to those after a skatey loose feel; The entire Skimsurfing Collection is ready to be configured to your riding style. With that said, if you are up to the challenge of going finless, follow these steps:
1. Begin with a fin setup that offers maximum grip. Any FCS quad fin set will do the trick. fig. 01 2. Once comfortable with the board and catching waves, swap your surf fins out with the fins that came with the purchase. Smaller middle fins will allow the board to start behaving like a skimboard with minimal wash out. fig. 02 3. To begin the steps to achieve a finless ride, remove the 2� fins from the center plugs. fig. 03 You may also play around with moving the Nubit fins from the front slot on the rear FCS boxes (looser feel) or the back slots (tighter ride) fig. 04-05
