It is the strip of traction that the skimmer uses to keep his front foot in place. Arch Bars replace the use of wax on the top half of the board.
the top faces the nose of your skimboard and the bottom faces your traction pad
For a zap skimboard a largeFor a exile small-mediumIt really depends what type of skimboard and what you want to do with it.
fiberglass by far!! i would recommend a zap, a Victoria, or a exile brand skimboard
A glossy skimboard will, obviously, be very smooth and very shiny. A skimboard with a textured finish will be relatively dull in color and you will be able to see and feel the weave of the fabric.
Not very difficult. Just hold on tighter and arch a little harder.

One may purchase a skimboard in the city of Denver or anywhere for that matter online. There are several different sites such as skimcity, pronto or NexTag.
Depends on your GPS system. You should be able to just type in "St. Louis" arch into the search bar on most systems.
Yes, you can sit and float on a skimboard, especially in shallow water where the board can support your weight. However, skimboards are primarily designed for gliding over water and sand rather than for sitting. You might find it more challenging to maintain balance while sitting, as they are not as stable as traditional surfboards. It can be a fun experience, but it's not the intended use of a skimboard.
as long as the stick like thing hanging above my croch
they dont make plastic skimboards but i think ur talkin about a fiberglass skimboard. advantages of a fiberglass skimboards are 1.)they go faster 2.)there easier to do tricks on and 3.) its easier to ride
so its easier to get over the bar. think about it. when they curve their backs, its easier to get their bodies over the bar. if they just go straight out, their bodies wont make it.
