The Flame Skimmer is a midrange rated 5/4/0/3. Zero turn with a fade rating of 3 suggests a stable-to-overstable flight that resists turning over and finishes firmly left for a right-hand backhand. Its ratings suggest it is less suited to players seeking turnover lines or a long, gliding finish. RIPR, a Vancouver mini-disc brand, offered the Flame Skimmer as the midrange in its three-disc golf set, alongside the Grey Wolf and Leatherback, and lists TPE as the material. Its stamp shows a geometric dragonfly and the same rating. The PDGA approved it on 15 February 2024 (24-26). RIPR's set was listed as out of stock by October 2025. TryDiscs does not yet record a plastic row for it as of September 2026.

1 review from Try Discs members

The RIPR Flame Skimmer has only 1 review so far, so one opinion can swing the picture. That's why there's no star average yet.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
