At first I needed to get used to the shorter board. But once I got the hang of it. It’s so much fun. I’m 68 years old and don’t have any problem padding into a wave that’s head high. I love it. I’m riding the 5’3”

Quick answers
Asked before you have to.
Is this good for beginners?
It's friendly to learn on thanks to 42 liters of float, and the twin-fin setup keeps it fast and loose as you progress.
Do I need wax?
No. The molded shark-skin deck grips when wet, so there's no wax to apply or melt in your car.
How durable is it?
Very. The watertight Performance Foam core takes dings and tumbles that would crack a fiberglass board, and it won't soak up water.

My 9 year grandson is so happy to get his board for his birthday !
We love the board. Perfect for my kids and suitable for myself! Easy to move around and a quick learn for the kids.
I liked it. Perfect mix of performance and user-friendly design—I’d highly recommend it.
Well made board. The order arrived within 3 days after ordering, very quick! Pretty solid quality for a foam board, it feels like a real board.
Very Happy with my choices 😎 lost of people checking ✔️ my new surf board out it's getting a lot of attention at the beach thank
I bought this for my son and he loves it.
I have this installed on a wavestorm. Super easy install, only need a drill and a screwdriver. The board is a lot more responsive and maneuverable while having better hold and control in steeper stuff. Overall, it’s a steal for the price.
So far I am loving it. It’s light and small enough to fit into my VW ID 4 sedan. I have been using it primarily to get fit with paddle strength in preparation for longer surf trip.
Great first board or step down from longboard.
Cool product. Anxious to see how it performs in decent sized surf. Included future fins are a great value; although I thought it also included a free leash. Still awesome little Zipper!
Old guy learning how to surf here. Was able to catch 4 waves in nyc’s summer season with my very limited ability. Definitely made it fun for me.
