"Skanking" a snowboard or ski means putting a gnarly gouge on the bottom surface that only a pro shop can repair, after riding over a teensy bit of exposed terrain rock.
Also, "getting skanked" is an injury caused by a surfboard's fin blades, whether it's your board (wipeout) or another surfer's board (teachable moment).

"Dude, the snow base at Mammoth doesn't cover all of the rocks. I totally skanked my board on one."
"Dude, I didn't duck dive enough and totally got gnarly harsh skanked by another surfer dude. Sharks swam from miles away to scope out the bloodshed. Dude, my dome needed twenty stitches, and my lungs needed twenty bong loads. It's like eating all the ice cream you want after a tonsil removal, dude."
