sure any skim should work if you allready have it give it a try. If you are thinking of buying it and want a review of it sorry I have not tried it.

I use the crazy fly skim for light winds. I also have the SS glide, however it is more enjoyable to use a skim. The skim takes a little more effort to plane.
Glide is like mowing the lawn. Skim is like mowing the lawn while on rollerblades.
It looks like the larger 54 x 20 1/4 skim pro is very similiar to the crazy fly skim.
I will travel with my skim now instead of my glide due to it's smaller size. It can fit easily into my deciever bag.
It came with footstraps, foot pads and fins.
Better to ride it naked. I mean without straps or fins.

If you could get the board back under your hand that would be a steazy move
