Thurso Surf 7/8 ft Soft Top Foam Beginner Surfboard for Adults and Kids Perfect Longboard for Surfing Beach Fun and Water Sports Lightweight and Durable Modern Design for All Levels of Surfers

This board is ideal for your first waves, learning to surf, and practicing with different types of waves. Being 7' long, it's perfect because you can practice walking on the board and playing without fear of getting hit since it's very soft and lightweight, making it very easy to transport and store anywhere.The design is unique, retro, sublime, and elegant, and the color combination is perfect. Everyone has a Wavestorm, but this design, at least here in Uruguay, makes it more identifiable and recognizable. Everyone is fascinated with the colors and the wood-like deck; some people have even mistaken it for a fiberglass board.I would definitely buy it again without hesitation.This brand guarantees quality. I've had a Thurso Waterwalker SUP 10.2 for over 5 years, and it still looks brand new, with flawless colors just like the first day.Highly recommended brand and products.

Personally I like a good looking board as well as a well functioning board and this does both! Easy set up. This is a perfect beginner board for those learning to surf; the buoyancy allows the board to float really well making it easy to learn to surf. The boards with higher buoyancy make it easier to catch waves. The board is very light as well! Typically the bigger boards are heavy and hard to carry, however this is not the case with this one :). I'm able to carry it about a quarter of a mile with ease. Works and functions better than I expected! 10/10.

I learned on a 10' long board which is great if you have a slow, gentle break but trying to teach my kids in shorebreak with a massive board was an exercise in frustration (endless nosedives, tough to paddle/swing the board around). This board strikes a very good balance--wide/buoyant enough to be pretty stable for the kids but not so big/heavy to be unwieldy in the surf. Also sturdy enough for me to catch a few waves even though I'm pushing the weight limit a bit.Will update this RE: durabililty once we've had it a while but overall the workmanship seems quite good, the board was shrink wrapped and double boxed which was nice to see.My only minor complaint was the setup with the fin screws could have been better documented, two of the screws are longer and it took be a bit to figure out where they needed to go: the two longer ones go on the top (closer to the nose) of each of the thruster (side) fins. Since the board is a bit thicker in those locations they need the extra depth--the short ones go everywhere else.All in all, I'm psyched!

Arrived as and when expected. Fins easy to put on but came with screws of different lengths. One screw fell off first day using. When contacting seller, immediately responded but will be waiting at least one week for the replacement parts.

This board is fine if your adhd has you hyperfixated on surfing and you are going to do it twice then put it away forever and never look at it again. If you plan to just take it on vacation once. But if you are serious about learning to surf this board is not made well and is not going to last anytime in real ocean and waves. It’s very lightweight and cute. But think of it as a toy to play with. Not an actual tool to surf with. Took it out of the box. Put it together. Immediately took it apart and put it back in the box to return it. Too much money when I can find a decent used board for the same price that is going to last for years.

I can’t wait to take this thing out on the water. Quality wise it is similar and slightly better than a Costco wavestorm. It looks nicer and is 1’ shorter as well. Great board for the money and I imagine given the buoyancy it will catch loads of waves. I would recommend it to beginners, people who want a cheaper board that will do the trick, and people who don’t want to worry about dinging a more expensive board. I am skeptical about how much stress the leash point will take before breaking, but I don’t plan on taking it out on anything over shoulder high anyway.

Bought this for my 12 year old who is learning to surf. He loves it! It's stable in the water, has a simple retro design and lightweight. It did come damaged, but customer service offered a discount, which we were pleased with.The design is starting to wear already after just a few times, but he likes the surf board enough and doesn't care about that. All in all, great beginner board!

If you are searching for a inexpensive great board this is it. Don't waste your time with the wave storm.The three stringers give this board strength and stability, it doesn't buckle like a taco, like some other foamies.This also makes it very stable when standing.I was concerned with the float of the board. I am 5' 8" and 170 lbs. This board paddles like a champ.The second time I used the board I ran it in the sand and apparently I had not torqued the plastic bolt enough and lost the bolt. I emailed the company and they sent me a full new fin set. I only needed a bolt.How's that for excellent customer service.This is a great buy for experienced surfers and beginners alike.Kudos to thurso.
