No, it doesn't make sense to track the center of mass of the skateboarder here. If you're interested specifically in the forces on skateboard, you want to track the center of mass on the skateboard. If you include the skateboarder in your system and track the new modified center of mass, you will only see the effect of gravity, being the only remaining external force.
