The Hornet's shape was first released in 2018. It is the culmination of over a year of R&D for the Exile elite team of riders to take their most popular Hybrid Shape and make it THAT much better. They have taken the Hybrid Shape and drawn in the tail profile to make it narrower and slightly more pointed. This creates a shape that performs much like the Hybrid, BUT is ultra responsive under the lip and has extra 'hold' on the face of larger, steeper waves. Ideal for average to above average conditions. This shape will not disappoint!
This is the board that changed it all. Many have tried to copy this board, all have failed. Unlike most skimboard companies, the most popular board Exile sell is also the most expensive board they sell. Why you ask? 'Cause it's just that good. The perfect balance of weight, strength and stiffness combine to make the most popular high-end skimboard ever. Every trick in the book, with no corners cut make this the best value in skimboarding. They have customers still riding these boards from when the company was founded in 2002. You want the best? This is it. Come and get it!
Carbon Fiber is practically synonymous with top of the line in any industry. This fabric is highly coveted for its extreme strength and stiffness. Exile uses only Aerospace Grade Carbon Fiber and Epoxy resin, making these boards stronger, stiffer and lighter than our fiberglass boards. Truly the best skimboard money can buy and the trusted construction of all their top Professional riders.

- The Hybrid Rocker is what they put on 90% of the boards they produce, and is the most versatile skimboard rocker for skimming anything from the Gulf Coast of Florida to Cabo. It clocks in roughly at 2.25" in the nose and about .125" in the tail with a fairly good size flat spot in the middle of the board. This allows the board to transition from sand to water easily, be super fast, and turn on a dime. If you aren't sure, this would be our pick!
- Textured finish: Light, Strong, Durable, and preferred by riders who put more emphasis on performance than cosmetics. This is the finish the company was built on, and the golden standard which others imitate. Some sanding required for proper traction adhesion.
- This flat deck option is the standard skimboard deck option seen on most skimboards
