My name is Ben Kotin. I ride George Bryan's old skimboard. Aaron gave it to me. It is salmon colored. Salmon is kind of pink, almost a mauve. I like that in skimboarding one can have a colored board. When surfing one must always have a white board and black wetsuit.

The board works very well. It is built out of S-glass. I think it is thicker than the stock 5/8" thickness. When the team and I went to France, I met Tom Curren. He was really nice and surfs well. Exile makes a really technologically advanced skimboard. It performs under the heaviest conditions that I have found from Cabo, to Hawaii, to Chile, to Europe.
