Compact outline. Plenty of foam. At 6'0", 21.15" wide, 3" thick and 45.92 liters, the Jam puts useful volume into a compact egg-shaped outline: fullness through the front for paddling, a pulled-in round tail and single-to-double V bottom for response once you are moving.

Quick answers

Asked before you have to.

Is this good for beginners?

The Jam suits surfers who want a shorter foam board with more float than a typical shortboard. A brand-new surfer who needs maximum stability may prefer a longer Formula Fun foamie.

Do I need wax?

No. The recessed deck pad grips when wet, so there is no wax to apply or melt in your car.

What fins does it take?

Three Futures-compatible fin boxes in a thruster setup, fins included as listed.

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.

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”

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.

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.

I’ve been really happy with my 8' Formula Fun. It feels sturdy and well made, and I like that the foam is at least less environmentally harmful than a lot of traditional surfboard foams. Compared with my Catch Surf, it feels narrower and...
