Overview
Skimming across a thin sheet of water is what this wrapped composite board is built for. A turned-up rail contour stops the nose digging into wet sand, and a full EVA deck gives the feet a grippy surface.
Turned-up rails and a wrapped shell suit riders chasing wraps and tricks right at the shoreline. The listing gives a single size here, and the stated length does not match it, so confirm the exact board before ordering.
Who it's for
Shore breaks with a thin wash and hard-packed sand are where this board works. Riders above the stated weight limit, and anyone expecting cover for ordinary wear, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Turned-up rails resist digging in
- Wrapped composite build for impact
- Full deck EVA traction pad
- Suits wraps, lines and tricks
- Listed length conflicts with listed size
- Rider limit rules out heavier adults
- Defect cover is short
- No wear and tear warranty
Performance notes
Rail shape and shell construction decide how the board skims and how it takes impact. The turned-up rail lifts the nose so it glides over wet sand instead of plowing into it. The EVA deck sets how well the feet hold during turns and wraps.
