BPS New Zealand ‘Gator’ Skimboard with Colored EVA Grip Pad and High Gloss Clear Coat Wooden Skim Boards for Kids and Adults | Choose from 3 Sizes and Traction Pad Color

These boards held up really well compared to ones you can buy locally at the beach. They also worked better than those models. The best part was the foam grip on the top on the board. This prevented any slipping when jumping on. We took this model to the beach and rode them for about 4 or 5 hrs each day for a week. It do show some minor wear from going over some shells but this is expected. I highly recommend these boards, well worth the money!

I bought this 30" skim board for my 6 year old. He's about 3'11" and slim. He was excited to get it, since he loves to sand slide at the beach. He actually doesn't use this often, unfortunately. He says it's too small. I may get him a larger one in the future.

Last summer I picked up two dinky skimboards at a garage sale for $5 a piece. My son and I enjoyed playing on them, but I found them to be quite difficult, as they often would bite the sand and send me flying. After one of them became delaminated this summer, we decided to purchase the largest of these BPS boards - what a difference! Despite the board saying 150lbs, I have had no problem gliding along the surf with them, and my 9 year old son LOVES the board. If you are not ready to pull the trigger on a professional (and expensive!) glass board, I would highly recommend one of these BPS boards!

Super fun! My oldest makes it work fabulous, he's 1258lbs. For the rest of us it was harder, however my other sons 150lbs and 180lbs still had fun although the results were not as amazing as for our oldest.

Since they are going to be birthday presents to my grandsons they haven't been used yet. They did arrive when promised and in good condition. I received an email from the seller letting me know that there would be information packaged with the skimboards about registering them for a guarantee. There was also a PDF document that provided information on using the boards as well as how to do a few tricks. I thought this was a nice touch.I would purchase these items again.

My 7 year old nephew absolutely loves this board! The grip material on top helps to keep him on the board longer. Hours of fun in the ocean.

Purchased 2 equally priced skimboards on Amazon for a vacation. This one DID NOT HOLD UP. The coating is thin and cheap and started flaking off immediately resulting in the side wood swelling and splitting and provided no protection to the bottom of the board. Used both boards on the same beach for the same amount of time by 2 teenagers under 125lbs. The other (Black) board looked almost new after 10 days while the BPS had scratches completely through the “varnish” into the wood. The coating BPS uses has some serious quality issues and does not seem salt waterproof as after 1 hour it discolored from clear to yellow and started cracking.We also rented a skimboard for a day, the well used rental board did not have any of the deep damage that the BPS had after 2 days.Returned the item immediately after getting home. 2 months later I was billed for the board again stating I had not returned it! Amazon ultimately refunded the second charge.Would not recommend this company.

It amazing my 11 year old boy just loves it A+

Mi nieto y yo la gozamos con esta tabla, muy recomendable para quienes les gusta el mar

I’m really pleased with the Gator skimboard… I’m 65kg and it works really well!

It works great.
