  • Gorgeous surfboard for use as home decor!
Style: 8' Guppy - Blue Stripes
I gave it an extra star for how pretty it is :) I got this as a gift for my daughter, who was beginning to surf more and wanted a beginner board of her own instead of renting. It is a beautiful board and she had it in her room for a year as decor before we made it to the beach to use. However, after finally getting it out in the ocean for a week, the entire coloring and laminated portion peeled entirely off. It's now a solid white board with light blue streaks on it, not really suitable for actual surfing. For the first day it worked excellent and she was able to stand and surf but with each ride in the peeling got worse and worse and became a hazard for her to stand on as it peeled off. We reached out to the makers hoping it was just a bum board or fluke and they said this was normal wear and tear. ? They offered us a 20% discount on a new board, but we think it's a little pricey for room decor, if it can't really be used as a surfboard. If you're looking for something to float around on or for instagram photos, this is a beauty. But if you're actually intending on surfing with it for any length of time, I wouldn't recommend. ... show more

  • Not a bad board, but there are some poor design choices
Style: 8' Guppy - Blue Stripes
Good board - very light and fast. However, a couple of things are not thought through. Most prominently, the black logo on the bottom surface heats up in the sun when carried on top of a car, and bubbles off (see picture). So far, when the board cools down, it returns back to normal, but I am worried it will peel off permanently. For those of y'all beginners trying to decide between this and wavestorm, here's a summary of differences (from my noob 's perspective, having handled both my guppy and friends' wavestorm). 1. Weight. Guppy is quite a bit lighter, so it goes faster, and is also easier to carry (and believe me, as a beginner, you'll be carrying the board around plenty) 2. Surface. Guppy requires waxing and is really slippery without it; wavestorm does not. Dirt and sand tends to get stuck to wax, and looks ugly on white stripes. In contrast, the wavestorm pattern looks pretty clean even after reasonable amount of use. 3. Design choices. Guppy has a handle hole, which, together with small weight, makes carrying almost a breeze. But the handle balances the board without fins, and with them, the handle is just a little too far forward for comfortable carrying. In contrast, wavestorm has a tail pad for yet better rear foot friction, which is also handy for learning where you rear foot is supposed to go when you stand up. ... show more

  • Good board, zero customer service.
Bought the board for my son’s birthday. It’s a good board—light and has a hand hold so a child can carry it. I took a star off because their customer service isn’t great. I tried to register the board and the QR code included on a card shrink wrapped with the board did not work and I called to try and sort it out and left a message and nobody ever called me back. It’s only a 90 day warranty and the board seems fine so I didn’t bother following up but if I actually did have an issue, it doesn’t seem like it would be easy to get in touch with them. ... show more

  • Updated - Good Customer Service.
Style: 5' Guppy - Cream Stripes
Update - South Bay Board Co. reached out immediately to correct the issue with the broken fins. Good customer service, much appreciated. Before I even got this board in the water, one of the plastic screws broke off while screwing into the fin. Now this fin is useless and instead of having 3 I now only have 2. Cheap plastic material, overall not impressed right out of the box. ... show more

  • Awesome begginer board
Style: 8' Guppy - Blue Stripes
I bought this voard for myself. Im 5'4 about 150 lbs, and this board held me up really nicely. It is super light and easy to paddle out with and was very easy to catch waves with! Im a begginer and was able to ride a couple of waves standing. The only thing though is that it was very sleepery at first. Ppl say u dont need to use wax with foam boards but I found that putting was made a HUGE difference and after that I was able to stand multiple times without a problem!! Its a very good begginer board for the price!! And the customer service was EXCELLENT! the first board arrived damaged, after letting them know, that same day they overnighted me a brand new board and I got it the next morning! Truly nice and understanding! Will recommend for sure. ... show more

  • really good customer service
I had small issue with the board and it was immediately taken care of with great customer service. The board is a really nice beginner board. I recommend a bit of wax before first use! I believe there is foam board specific wax.
