Helps a ton with top turns. Not with bottom turns.

I'll say so.. definitely a great way to train your balance and coordination

Probably... yeah it must do a bit. Skating does so... yeah.

I broke a big toe so badly skim boarding that I could not surf for a month. So, "no," skim boarding doesn't help with surfing.

Anything involving a board and standing on it; improves surfing! :lol:
