THURSO SURF 42'' Body Boards for Beach Pool Lightweight PE Core IXPE Deck HDPE Bottom FRP Stringers High Performance Body Board with Double Swivel Surf Leash and Bodyboard Bag Lightning

Ordered this for our family vacation at the beach. It held up well in the ocean. This board seems to be made with great material. It looks and feels sturdy. It’s not really heavy. The size was great for us adults as well as our teenage sons. Great value for the money. Color of this board was on point with the picture shown. Great overall purchase.

Much bigger than I expected, my 14 year old is excited to learn to use it. Trumps the small foam biggie boards by miles!!! Really well made and stode up to the Texas Gulf in good sized waves. For reference my son is 5'7". And it came with a nice carrying case that has a pouch to store fins or Google. Woukd recommend to others. My husband who surfers even said it's a good board, he was showing them how to use it.

Spent a week at the beach and used this bodyboard every day. When compared to a bunch of other boards at the beach, this one was definitely a notch above in terms of quality construction. I'm a beginner so I can't comment on detailed performance, but I can say that it worked well for riding waves to shore.

I started bodyboarding in San Diego and was using a cheaper CBC 39 inch bodyboard. I looked online for review and the Thurso 42" board was recommended as a great bodyboard for beginner.After using the 2 boards side-by-side, the Thurso bodyboard is definitely superior in these ways:- It gives a more stable ride- It is constructed with a better foam material that feels softer on my chest- The coiled strap is better than the cheaper strap on the CBC board. It does not entrap my arm during any of my manuveurs.

Pros:Very floaty and fastNice carry bag with shoulder straps makes it easy to lug to the beachCons:Wrist strap is too big for my wrist and too small for my bicep so I will have to purchase another strapZipper external pouch of bag is not very goodDeck is a bit soft. The strap left an imprint on board from being pressed against car seat so be carefulNote: the surface of board is very slick. I had to bum some wax off a surfing instructor. Kudos to endlesssummersurf on Hatteras island

This is the closest thing to the old boogie boards you bought at Costco in the 90s that latest decades. I bought it for my 30.year old duaghter who lives at beach and she loves it. She says you can't buy anything comparable anywhere near the beach!! She is buying one this summer for my grandson who is now 7 and loves to boogie board now.

I bought this bodyboard for my 10 year old son. He always had bodyboards that cheap pieces of trash. He wanted one with a slick bottom so I started looking around and reading reviews about the best bodyboards out there. I found this one on a list of the top five bodyboards so I looked it up on Amazon. I thought it was a fair price so I bought it. He had a huge problem obeying me so I didn’t give it to him for a long time but once he started listening again I gave it to him. He was so stinking happy with it he just about wet his pants. It’s a little bit big for him he can just about get his arm around it when he is carrying it but he’s not shrinking. He looks so cute walking to the beach with the bodyboard in its carrying case. The orange color is great it really stands out in the water. This bodyboard allows him to ride even tiny waves. I feel bad I made him use body boards that sucked for so long. It’s totally worth the money.

The box was damaged in transit and so was the board. There’s a crack right across it. So cheaply made no doubt. When removing the bag from the box (they couldn’t have been cheaper with the packaging… no protection whatsoever.) the smell hits you hard. The bag smells like burnt plastic. I’m so bummed. I really thought more $ meant better quality but not here.
