The 6'4" Zippers is a Formula Fun crew favorite. A thruster (three-fin) setup with a squash tail and rounded nose makes it a fun all-around board, and 41 liters of volume makes catching waves a breeze. It's a blast on small knee-to-waist days and just as fun on pumping overhead swells.

Quick answers

Asked before you have to.

Is this good for beginners?

Yes - 41 liters makes paddling and catching waves easy, while the thruster setup gives you control 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.

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!

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.

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...
