My girlfriend loved this but is moving onto a hard board after improving her surfing on this one! No dings and water tight. Here's the description from website:
Easy-gliding board designed to catch waves earlier and more often.
IDEAL FOR:
Surfers who want to keep their wave count high
Beginners who are serious about becoming better surfers
Longboarders looking for something shorter and more maneuverable
Surfers who value a durable, low-maintenance board.
The 8'0 R-Series Joy — Our Most Versatile (and Best-Selling) Model
The Joy has been one of our favorite custom surfboard models for 15+ years.
At 8'0" and 72.2 liters, it has plenty of foam to paddle easily and catch waves early, without feeling like too much board once you're up and riding.
The low rocker helps you get into waves early, while the pintail and vee through the bottom keep the board responsive and easy to turn.
It's a great board for someone who is still building confidence in the lineup, but we would never limit the Joy to being a beginner board. We still surf ours all the time.
The R-Series is made in the USA from durable, waterproof, recyclable foam, with a Futures fin box and fin included.
