Concepts that don't have *universal signs are generally finger-spelled, or if context allows utilizing classifiers, such as showing the shape of the object and explaining or showing its use. In this case, words like Skateboard (though there are signs for skateboard they are not universal), Wakeboard, and Surfboard should be fingerspelled, unless you know the regional variant.
*Note: I use the term universal, very very loosely here to refer to the predominant conceptual signs used in ASL, rather than home signs or regional variations.
