New Zealand ‘Flame’ - High Performance Wooden Skimboard with Custom Traction Pads – with Optional Padded Carry Bag Made from Recycled Plastics – for Kids or Adults, Choose from 4 Colors

Note I haven't actually gotten to try out the board yet, but just from holding it and looking at it I can tell it has an exceptional build quality and will perform well. The full-length rubber grip is smart and very helpful, and the overall look of the design is cool and slick. The wood of the board is seamless, flawless, and beautiful as well. Its carrying case is equally impressive in its material quality. This thing will last and through all weather conditions. My only qualms are with the design of the carrying case. The shoulder straps are centered, which makes it positioned oddly and feel a bit awkward when being worn over the shoulder. The straps should have been put at an offset. And the opening zipper is on the bottom side, the side it needs to be on to be able to stand up on the ground on its own. This is unintuitive and makes insertion and removal of the board kind of cumbersome since it involves flipping the case back and forth. Still, those faults are subjective; it's possible someone might prefer the case to be designed in such a way. So I'm not faulting the product over them. In any case, given how this board is a bit on the expensive side, you're getting your money's worth with the design, build quality, durability, and sheer longevity of use, given the lifetime warranty on offer and the excellent customer support, whom I had reached out to once.

Great quality and value. Bought for our 14yo, but was also enjoyed by 32yo weighing 190lbs. Durable as advertised.

I am impressed with the quality and performance of the board. My son has had a blast using it. The grip surface helps to get traction for new users trying to learn. I appreciate the design and it is important to me to buy products that reuse materials otherwise discarded. The board is truly well designed! The carrying bag with shoulder strap is a great touch and adds to the functionality. If I could make any recommendations I would add the option for a leash to prevent the board slipping away for new users.

The product is visually appealing, and it appears to be well-made. It has not been tested on the water by the youngster.

Good quality

Works great and looks good

Great boards for the grands(10-13 yrs old). Grips on top of board prevent a lot of nasty falls.

The product looks good, hasn’t been used yet though
