Skim Boarding at the Park


So this was an adventure! Michelle, Travis and Ben, Lorissa and Ross Pence all went skim boarding at the park. There had been a huge rain storm in Tempe and the ground doesn't soak up much water and leaves these big ponds everywhere. So it was Trav's bright idea to go skim boarding on them. Very fun, but very, very SMELLY! To skim board you set the board on the water at the edge and get a running start and either slide on your stomach, knees or feet going for distance or technique (how long/far you can go before you face plant). Needless to say you have to remember to keep your mouth closed or it got filled with the disgusting sludge. We developed quite a crowd before we finished and smelt bad the whole way home.
