Fantastic Foamie!

10/16/22 By Ryan in West Michigan

I'm a beginner surfer on the great lakes scene - started with a few Wavestorms and this is my favorite, hands down. Obviously it's going to be much more challenging than the 8 foot Wavestorm, but the rewards are worth the effort. I've been using this to practice riding the beach breaks but have also taken it out the back and ridden some of the lake monsters. I would buy a second one just to lend it to friends. Hope more are produced!

5/5

Great value and a lot of fun!

6/1/22 By Gary in United States

Great for the money! Arrived pretty quick as well. I'm 5'5" and 150 lbs and a very experienced surfer, and it works perfectly fine, even in smaller surf. And unlike larger foamy/surfboards, this one fits easily in the back of my hatchback. As mentioned by a few others, the leash does seem to get tangled easily, but it serves its purpose. But for the price, you can't really go wrong with this board.

5/5

Good for what it is - especially for the price.

6/1/22 By Mike in United States

Really good for what it is. I took it out once at Rialto Beach and caught some waves. I feel like I can abuse this board and not care and that's a significant advantage when other's are afraid of cracking their fiberglass boards. Assembly is straight forward. A good beater board as I get back into surfing again.

One negative:
The leash can get wound up and tangled easily - it is otherwise serviceable.

Love this board!

Love this board! Experienced long boarder, bodyboarder and wanted a fun play around board. Got exactly that! Floats me well. Turns well. All around FUN board!

5/5

Love it

6/1/22 By Elliott in United States

Ridden this thing a few times in 2-5 foot surf and been having a blast. 5'8" and 49 liters means you can paddle into anything and still hit some nice turns. Definitely would recommend to anyone who's looking for a shortboard foamie.

Very fun board for the money!

6/1/22 By Kanoa in United States

Great fun board at a good price. It arrived in perfect condition and is the pictured color advertised, white down the middle with the blue stripes down the side. I’m 5’9 170 lbs and it floats me no problem. Backend will slide easy which is fun in small surf but can be difficult on bigger bottom turns or big carves. I’m thinking about getting another set of fins to replace the small ones to see if it helps in bigger surf. Pro tip, put the leash in the oven on low heat just long enough to get it pretty warm then stretch it out as it cools by attaching one end to something fixed and pulling the other end. Doing this will get all the coiling out of the leash that was caused by the manufacture packaging it in a ridiculously tight coil, otherwise the leash will constantly be getting tangled in the water and will be super irritating. I also shorted the leash attachment ropes and eliminated one all together on the board end to help reduce entanglement when surfing.

Floats like a longboard, rides like a pricier one

6/1/22 By Justin in United States

This board is amazing for the price, floats like a 7’ fiberglass board, and rides great. Provides a ton of fun in smaller waves. Rode it in Myrtle Beach this past week and that should say enough about it’s wave catching abilities.

Great fun board

6/1/22 By Faithsurfs in United States

With the beaches opening back up, we picked this board up to have a some fun. My 7 year old daughter had no carrying and paddling around and belly riding in to shore. My boys were able to catch some fun waves, and ended fighting who's turn it was. The board has a great float that even my dog was able to ride on the board. Highly recomend

Fun board!

6/1/22 By Torybee in United States

I bought this for my 17 year old son who has been surfing regularly for the past 6 years. We also own 2 of the 8 foot Wavestorm boards and love them- they're so fun and we've taken so many friends out with them to teach them to surf. They're fun boards. However this 5'8 Retro Fish is even more fun, provided you aren't a true beginner. (even then this board will be fun). The larger Wavestorm is definitely easier to catch waves with, but this Retro Fish board is just so much more maneuverable and fun in certain conditions. It's a perfect size and quite buoyant. It's exactly what my son wanted - a buoyant board to keep him warmer by not being submerged in the water, and shorter and easier to turn and carve and have fun.
It's a nice looking board and the fins are also very nice. The only thing he didn't love about this board is the leash. It's pretty terrible and he wound up surfing without it and plans on replacing it. Other than that, this board is pure joy especially for the price!

5/5

Great from beginner to expert

6/1/22 By Team Wavestorm in United States

I bought this board a couple weeks ago. It arrived much quicker than expected. I have ridden it a couple of times and it is a very fun board. Paddles well into waves, and turns well. I think this board would be great for all age and experience levels. Not only have I been riding it, but I have been pushing my 3 year old son into waves on it and he has loved it. The design is great too and the board really does look cool. So far the board has held up perfectly. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.
