skimboarder
Shallow wave rider
A skimboarder is someone who rides a skimboard—a small, flat board used to glide across shallow water on beaches.
Unlike surfing, skimboarding starts on sand: the rider runs, drops the board onto a thin wash of water, and slides toward incoming waves or performs tricks in the shallows.
The skimboarders waited for the tide to come in.
