Rigid Kickboard

I live in Hawaii and bodysurf large shore break waves. Large meaning anywhere from 10-14ft face waves. I have put this kickboard through the ringer and tested its durability on many occasions! It has never failed me. I know bodysurfing with this kickboard is not what it is intended for, but just think about it. . .if this kickboard can handle the riggers of day to day large Hawaiian waves, then you can most assuredly put a check next to the box that says "Durability"! It travels light and fast down the face of waves and holds its line exceptionally well! If Nordesco ever stops making this kickboard, I hope they give a heads up, because I will probably buy about 10 or so hahaha. Don't sleep on this bad boy, give it a shot! And to all my fellow kiuckboarders surfing slabby waves around the world, my friends, seriously, look no further! Aloha oe

These are absolutely great! I got one for me and one for my wife after the kickboards at the YMCA were taken away. We love the purple color, which identifies our boards. They are really rigid. The surface has a nice feel with good grip - not slippery at all. I was looking for a slightly larger board, but these turn out to be just right. I'm 156 pounds, 5'9", and had trouble with some of the smaller boards, but I think the shape and rigidity of these make them work well for me. Part of the front of the board is above water as I swim - just right. The scallop cut out along the edges is perfect for a good grip either when swimming or when I stop at the end of the lane and have to hold the board. I find it also encourages me to keep my arms and shoulders in and be flatter on the surface of the water so I go faster. My wife and I kick side by side in the middle of our workouts and we still comment on how great the boards are.

Perfect size and control. The material is very strong.

It's more expensive than others, but has a solid feel and a hard surface that has held its integrity through all the kid's playing so far. It seems a bit less buoyant than the cheap foam ones, but maybe that's just my imagination. If I needed a second board of this type I would buy the same kind again.

I really like how rigid this board is. Compared to the foam board I have it is much easier to use and keep it from dragging in the water. My husband and I both have used it and the size seems to work fine for someone at 190 lbs.

Way too small

doesn't quite keep my head out of water so that I can focus on kicks. I'm 5'8", 200lbs

Very expensive. Would like it if they had come in a two pack.
