A Delaware "skimboarder" catches the face of a wave near Dewey Beach. Unlike surfers, skimboarders run along the beach and toss their super-light foam boards onto the broken crest of a wave. Rides usually last 10 seconds or less- the length of time it takes speeding water to reach the sand. Pros and amateurs compete every summer in Dewey Beach, home of the East Coast Skimboarding Championships.
