Find out how you can unlock the new Xurfboard Skimmer in Destiny 2!
In 2024, Bungie introduced a brand-new type of vehicle in Destiny 2 called Skimmers, futuristic hoverboards that Guardians could use to glide around in style. The first two Skimmers were added during the annual Guardian Games event – the earnable Allstar Vector was tied to the event, and Winged Wolf was added to the Eververse store that players could purchase using the Silver currency. (paid)
Unfortunately, if you missed out on the Guardian Games Skimmer, there was no way to get your hands on one—until now. With the launch of Episode: Revenant, Bungie has added a new Skimmer called The Xurfboard.
Unlike its predecessor, The Xurfboard is not limited to a special event. This Nine-themed hoverboard is now available for everyone to get. Here’s how you can get your own Xurfboard Skimmer in Destiny 2.
How To Get The Xurfboard Skimmer in Destiny 2
If you’re looking to add The Xurfboard Skimmer to your collection, you’re in luck! Bungie has made it pretty straightforward, and the best part is you don’t have to worry about any limited-time events. You can get The Xurfboard from Xur, Destiny 2’s beloved (and mysterious) exotic vendor, for 97 Strange Coins.
Here’s a quick and easy guide to help you claim your new Xurfboard Skimmer:
- Visit Xur in the Tower Bazaar: He arrives on Friday and leaves on Tuesday, so make sure to visit him during this window.

Note
The Xurfboard Exotic Skimmer will be available at Xur until you buy it.
Keep in mind that you need to have a total of 97 Strange Coins in order to purchase The Xurfboard from Xur. If you’re wondering what the best and the fastest farming methods for Strange Coins are, check out our comprehensive guide here.

Destiny 2: The Xurfboard Lore
Below, you can read the full lore found on The Xurfboard exotic Skimmer:
“Who knows where the next wave will take you.
“The ship’s a spruced-up Galliot, glorious in its pearlescent blue paint and bizarre angles. Just looking at it makes Rahila want to take it on a joyride clear out of the Sol system. Walking up the gangway into the ship itself makes her want to cry.
“The ship has the necessary long-range capabilities and just enough expanded capacity for a full fireteam’s worth of supplies and survey equipment. Between the Vanguard’s support, generous contributions from the Awoken, and several upgrades courtesy of a lapsed Dead Orbit adherent, the ship’s a lot to be entrusted with.
“‘These new sensors are something else,’ Isidro announces from the cockpit. ‘If so much as a mouse sneezes out there in the black, we’ll pick it up.’
“Rahila squints at him. ‘A mouse?’
“‘Space-mice. Or, you know, a gravitational anomaly. Or mysterious, freaky signals.’
“‘Vanguard will be along in a few to see us off.’ Roche-5’s composed baritone emerges from the hatch leading to the cargo hold. ‘You two ready?’
“Rahila settles into the copilot’s chair. ‘To go find out what’s left of our solar system? ‘Course we are.’
“‘Remember,’ Roche intones gravely, ‘This is pure recon. No big risks.’
“Rahila and Isidro exchange grins. ‘Sure thing.'”
