I got 2 of these in different sizes for Christmas 🎄for my twin boys👦👦as their first boogie board. I wanted a beginner board that was stacked with enough features to be protective & durable for starting out & with enough features needed if they progress to a more advanced level. I ordered a (33inch) for my lighter twin & this board at 37 inches for my slightly heavier (97LBS) & taller twin. Also that light green color happens to be his favorite because it is the same color heavily used on one of his favorite video games. I am not sure if a board that has the best of both beginner & advanced boogie worlds exists but from all of my homework 📚I studied on prior to ordering, this is the closest one I could find to that & I chose it for all of the following reasons & more. The features I ❤️are:Heat Lamination- Uv resistant 🔆& prevents bubbles & doesn't easily deform or fadeEPS Core- lightweight & strengthens 🛟buoyancyXPE deck- makes the board easier to maneuver 🏄‍♂️& more responsive to impactHDPEBottom-enhances the overall speed🌊 & durability2FRP stringer- adds greater stiffness strength & durability 💪Crescent🌙tail/ adds better control & comfort for ocean & poolsLastly it has a Double swivel coiled wrist leash/made of stainless steel & I love that their is a strap for the hand & foot to keep you attached & so that you don't lose the board. Overall this jam packed boogie board was priceworthy 💸& a solid choice. It has all the top rated features that checks ✅off all the boxes for my my needs & his wants. Unfortunately since it is winter ❄️ time I cannot report how it feels & handles until the spring 🌸so I Will definitely update my review with additional pics & info then!!! My boys are siked 🤗& are so excited that they finally have their own boogie boards they don't have to borrow nor use a cheap foam one bought from a tourist or grocery store on the way to the beach that breaks after 1 use!! They are counting down the days until late spring !! So far I rate as 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️stars➕👍👍
