FSE EPS/PE Soft Surf Board

This board was purchased for my 8 year old son to help him safely learn the ends/outs of surfing and to make sure he would like it after trying it out this summer without splurging on a "real" board. The size is comfortable to him and he easily carries it over his head. The first couple of days were trial and error which gave way to some frustration due to poor surf conditions. After his initial trials he has come out looking closer and closer like a mini surfer. This past weekend the surf was perfect and I felt confident enough to let him paddle out with the older guys. He still has much learning to do but this board was a smart choice based on price and safety. The fins were a little tough to place on the board but having a dull fin instead of a sharp fin that may cut him or another person is a godsend. The board provides rigidity but also the "soft" form adds another safety bonus. I would highly recommend this board for younger kids who want to surf as the cost is much easier to absorb should they decide they hate surfing.

I bought this board for my kids who are just kearning. It is a great board for the money. Good for beginners and children. High quality dense foam, very durable

I purchased this board for my 9 year old granddaughter because of the review by Ken Tanaka of Pearl City, Hawaii. I figured if anyone would know surfboards it had to be a guy named Tanaka from Hawaii. And Ken, you were absolutely spot on! My granddaughter has never surfed before. First of all, I bought her the yellow board because it just looked more like a surfboard to me and was the lowest price of the 3 colors offered. When the board arrived I was impressed with how solid it felt, not like a chunk of foam like some of the other boards advertised have been described. The fins went on easily. The board does not come with a leash, so I ordered the Dorsal / Procomp 7' clear FCS Dakine Style leash. We were going on vacation to Oak Island, NC, waves 5'-7', obviously not like Hawaii. The first day in the surf her uncle helped her with learning how to get up on the board. After that she simply got better and better as the day went on. She was able to catch a few waves and ride them in, which I thought was pretty cool. The second day she was up on the board more and more easily and was surfing more than wiping out. By day three she looked like she had been surfing for years and I told her she was officially a Wahine. Oh, by the way I asked her about the leash I purchased and she said to give it 10 stars out of 5, it was very comfortable around her ankle and did not interfere with her getting up on the board. If I could give this board 10 stars I would, I think this is probably the best purchase I have ever made on Amazon. And again, I would like to say "Thank you, Ken Tanaka!"

Definitely did not float above the water when my cousin stood on it! And she only weighs 90 lbs.

It isn’t 6 feet as the description says. It’s 5’10. It also didn’t come with a leash which is annoying. I had to go get one. It is not a quality made board. The wave storm from Costco is cheaper, way better quality, and comes with a leash. Other than those, the board perform okay for my son. Not too heavy.

I really debated whether to buy this board or not as the reviews were up and down. In the end I bought it, not a good decision. My son used it once and never again. Board too slippery even with additional grip pads and wax, not bouyang enough for a learner and the shape is non- responsive.Not worth the money. Sorry.

I came across this when I was looking for a high quality boogie board for my kids who are 8 and 9. When I came across the liquid shredder I decided to give it a try for a new experience for them.The headline is this is a great beginner surfboard. We used it down in the gulf where the waves aren't so great, so mostly the kids used it as an oversized boogie board, but they also attempted to get up on the board a few times. The board held their weight well. They are between 50 - 60 lbs. Their friends who are a little bigger 75 - 85 lbs were able to stand on it without any problems either.The board is very stable, so the kids were also able to practice just standing on the board in some calm water, which really helped them get used to going from lying down to standing up, and when they fell the soft board did not hurt them.One final note, some friends of ours who are surfers borrowed the board for their vacation. They liked it so much they bought one of their own.ProsHolds kids at least up to 85 lbs (maybe more)Very stableSoft material minimizes kids getting hurtConsPlastic fins - these were fine for us, but I could see how they might break if the kids goof around with the board on hard ground.Great product!

Good board for beginners. Our daughter is 9 and weighs about 50lbs. Perfect for her. BUT....I will say that the shipping of the board wasn't good. It arrived with the box torn all to bits, wrapped in thin bubble wrap (not the big bubbles, the tiny ones) and the tip of the board was bent. We never heard back from Amazon or the shipping company (Fed-X) to get resolution. We finally just decided to use the board and hope it will last for a summer or two. This is the exact board my daughter used in surf camp earlier in the summer. We'll see how it holds up----especially with the bend in to top.
