If the board is skinny like a cracker, then it's skim. If it's thick like a slice of bread, then it's surf. :)
Sorta agree with this..Quote:

Surf style boards have the larger deep protruding fins and tend to be harder to spin due to there tracking. Surf boards also come in all sizes for all size riders.
Not all boards with small long FINS are skim either, exp a CWB ride is a thin board, with long thin fins, but this is a surf board not a skim board.
