DriftsunFiberglass Performance Skimboard - Performance Skimboard for Kids and Adults with EVA Traction Pad/ Available in 44, 48, and 52 inch sizes

Love the looks and the performance of this board. Great slider that can get you in and out off a short wave with ease.

Ill start with the good.Its a great price and it rides really nice. Skims shallow pools with ease and it floats me enough that i could start catching some small waves and doing little turns after 2 days. I weigh 165# so i was happy that it could float me, and the traction pads are really nice to have.Unfortunately the bad outweighs the good in my opinion, the front pad is meant to just make it a little comfy but really you need surf wax to avoid the occasional slip off. The worst problem is the gel coat separates from the fiberglass VERY easily. My beach is pretty clean so i can understand maybe a few seashell scratches, but the gel coat chipping off like that is a red flag. You can avoid rocky areas but no beach is perfect so this will happen eventually. If this was a wake surfing board or not meant for the beach i would give it 5 stars but the fact that it damages so easily knocks is down to 2 starts for me… maybe 3 if the customer service is good at dealing with this.

Beautiful board but unfortunately it was already damaged when I opened the package.Just spoke with Jen at customer service, she was very helpful and took care of my order.Very happy!!

The board arrived in good shape.It rode well the first to 2 sessions.On the second session cracks started to apear in the nose but the 3rd session bug chunks of paint were coming off the board. And the rear split open around the edge. When I picked up the board a gelcoat or paint sliver dug into my finger. I really had high hopes for the board. I'm 6' tall and 190lbs. Cape Canaveral has almost no waves I'm skimming on the flats. It's disappointing. I should have just bought a pro board.
