Being held under long and getting pounded wave after wave is very frightening to me.

Clark Little, getting a selfie for him would be epic haha.

NUMBER ONE ON YOUR BUCKET LIST?:

Photographing huge shorebreak with all of my inspirations at the Wedge on a solid day would be a dream come true.

Phish handboard

I'm a repeating customer I own 3 hand boards . I'm not sold on the phish, I've tried it on small and big days and the performance is jus awful. When riding on the wave the water displacement is awful, I was unable to see anything because of the water shooting in my face so wave riding was not enjoyable. If possible I would like to trade it for the bula model. Mahalo 🤙

Grom Soft Top Handboard

Order was not received, it was shipped with incomplete address and returned by post office to the sender twice. Very disappointed!

Da Fin Swim Fins

No Ka Oi!
Get out there and Charge.

So far, so good!

We took out the Grom the other day and had a blast! Well made and better than other handplane's I've tried. We plan to buy more!

Way fun

Have only used this a few times but it is a huge improvement over my old hand gun. Well made, great planing. My daughter, who is small is rocking waves as well. Waiting for some bigger waves to really put it through its paces and curious to compare it to the other slyde boards, but very pleased so far. Was a little worried about the price, but I think worth the extra cost. Good solid product, well designed and lots of fun.
