Our family is treating ourselves to a winter escape from Canada by heading to Hawaii in December. Eager to try something new, we found Slyde online and kitted ourselves out. The Wedge Handboards look great. One was damaged upon arrival and Slyde immediately sent us a replacement. Good people. Good product. Can't wait to try these out in warm water.
Great service price and product,all I need now is big waves….thanks,definitely will purchase again
bought this for my husband and he is obsessed!!! Thank you Slyde!!
Got it for sons birthday... Had beach party. The board got big bubbles. The bottom delaminated from main foam body. It's like what happens to super cheap body boards. I was expecting way more. Lucky to I had woodem handboards that he could use. I will not buy from slyde again. Maybe other styles are better but the grom was a bad buy, even at a sale price.
I bought the Grom for my trip to Mission Beach last week. I stumbled across it while trying to buy a new set of fins and I thought for $60.00 it was worth a try. I figured even if it wasn’t that great is was worth the gamble. I admit I was skeptical and my expectations were pretty low. It took about 3 waves to find the best entry spot for the waves, but once I found it, I was on fire! This thing is amazing! It takes you out in front of the wave for an awesome view and in many instances I was able to ride it all the way to the beach. I couldn’t believe how well it worked. Also, I’m a strong swimmer but I’m from AZ and my experience in the ocean is somewhat limited. I’m certainly not a CA local. That being said it was really easy, you don’t need to be a local to get a lot of fun out of this. Really really cool! I’d recommend grabbing the combo with the bag and leash. They we’re both super handy.
I followed the sizing instructions for the fins and hoped that they’d fit me. They were slightly too small. When I asked for return info I found that the return shipping was on me. So I just spent 37.00 to send back 80.00 fins. Needless to say it was an expensive mistake that I won’t be making again. This is another reason Amazon and other large companies are killing the little(r) guys. Although from their “shark tank” video it seems like they’re doing pretty well. The Grom looks cool. Hopefully it’ll be so fun that it will minimize the fin sizing mistake. Headed to Mission Beach this weekend!
Oh Karl I am so sorry! Thank you for understanding how expensive shipping costs are and how it really does hurt small businesses when we have to compete with Amazon. I hope you have so much fun at the beach!
I ordered the bundle for the Grom handboard fins and bag. I measured my foot according to the chart for the fins and I was right in the edge of MD and ML. I ordered the MD's hoping it would fit but it is a bit too small. Not sure what the return policy is (restocking fee etc), but I'm on the hook for Shipping to send them back. In hind sight I should have just gone with my known Churchill size. Otherwise they look like good quality products. I'm heading to Mission beach next week to try out the Grom. Pretty excited!
Great product, just make sure you get the correct size. Exchanging the sizes hasn't been easy.
I live in France , thank you slydehandboard for the shipping, thank you for the customers service, the bula is the most amazing handboard i have tested, you can swim with, you take speed , the concave holds incredibly on the wave, the shape and the design are perfect. Mahalo
