BPSStorm' Bodyboard with Premium Coiled Leash & Fin Tethers - Lightweight with EPS Core, Durable for All Wave Conditions

I had high hopes for the product after reading reviews not only on Amazon but through a couple independent websites listing "top 10" best boogie boards. Durability was one of the features they were praised for. Unfortunately this couldn't be further from the truth.Some history - Our family are all avid experienced water athletes. The boards were for my two sons ,age 8 and 6 ,weighing 70 lbs and 50 lbs and my wife who weighs 130 lbs . All well under the range of weight acceptable for these boards. We Live on the beach and are all experienced surfers, windsurfers , and kite boarders along with boogie boarding. Our equipment Maintance is excellent ,all our gear is washed in fresh water and stored out of the elements including our boogie boards so the Maintance of the equipment is not in question. As far as the usage , we all know how to ride boogie boards properly and do not abuse them in any way ,riding them the way they are intended. The boards were purchased in May and the first one started coming apart in June .I thought it was just bad luck so I glued it with a non toxic epoxy we use on some of our other foam products.This held for one more season . By the middle of July with less than 2 months of use ALL the boards started coming apart.They were creasing from pressure (which should never happen with a 70 lb child riding )I was trying to contact the seller to give them the first opportunity to respond to this dilemma but there is no contact for them. Unfortunately this is my only course of action.I warn anyone thinking of buying these to take a miss , do not do it.We re highly skilled water family that use sports equipment for many different water sports and these boards are the worst items we have encountered . I have attached pictures for your reference . If your looking for a throw away board then maybe consider these boards but at their price they should last more than 1 month and a half.

I’m really disappointed in this boogie board it started to bubble. I keep it out of the sun when I’m at the beach and I keep the colored side down. I use it quite often and I haven’t even had it that long. Other than that it’s a great boogie board and fun, The tether line is greatAugust 1, 2020 I am updating my review, the seller contacted me very fast I sent them pictures of the problem that I had and immediately they refunded my money. What a great company to work With when dealing with a problem. I have only Once,experienced such an Immediate response with a company that had a problem with her product. I would definitely recommend this board.September 2020 update. I’m still having fun with my board and I use at a decent amount, however, the top part is separated from the bottom of the board and the whole middle of the Styrofoam is exposed. It is unfortunate the board did not live up to the reviews and although I will have to buy a new board I won’t use this company to buy a new board.

I received the items on time and the boards arrived in perfect condition with instructions.We are back from our trip and both my kids used the boards for 2 full days at the beach non-stop. Even when they stopped to rest, my husband and I used them. It took a couple of times to get use to how handle and get the feel for the board,but once we did we enjoyed them just as much as the kids.I would give a 5 🌟, but not sure if the ware of the 2 days at beach, slamming of the waves, riding them may have caused the ware on the blue wave board. The green storm board held out untouched. I do believe this is a higher quality board compared to others I saw on the beach and definitely priced accordingly. Most importantly, we had fun and we're definitely worth the purchase. Didn't take many pictures because we were in the water using or watching the boards being used. If the ware is typical then 5 🌟.Would definitely recommend to anyone. If someone out there knows what the next step board would be for a board one can ride kneeling down please share.

I got this for a trip to the Outer Banks, NC. I figured I would try spending a little more on actual board instead of wasting my money on the cheap ass touristy boogie boards that break after a couple days. It took a little to get used to the size of this thing, but once I did, this thing was a lot of fun. The velcro wristband is kind of big, that's my only complaint. But it stayed on and the tether is sturdy. We had some serious waves due to storms a couple of the days and this thing handled great.By comparison, my brother-in-law brought a crappy board they got a Five Below and by the end of the week it was broken in 3 places and we were calling it the flaccid board. I'm probably going to buy him a BPS bodyboard for Christmas.

I bought this for my 8-year-old daughter. I need surfing partner and she is terrified of my surfboards so this is about getting her in the water with me. We haven't gone surfing yet but the board is excellent, comes with the leash and is already plugged. I jumped on it a few times in the pool and it surprisingly floated me (I'm 200lbs). Bottom is nice and hard and has channels out the back. I'm considering buying a a bigger one for me for blackball here in Oceanside.
