The dad who surfed hard in his twenties, has not paddled out in fifteen years, and wants something forgiving that the kids can learn on too

What it is

Suns performance mid-length soft-top surfboard, 8'0" x 23" x 2 3/4", 52.9L, FCS II five fin setup, in blue. Designed with Anthony ‘Harries’ Carroll and shaped by Sunova’s Burt Burger.

Why we picked it

An 8'0" board at 52.9 litres with FCS II fins is what lets a rusty dad catch waves again without the humiliation of a board he cannot paddle or the danger of a hard nose near his own kids. It is soft enough to be the family learner board and shaped well enough that it actually surfs.

One reading so far. We record every change from here, so a sale price later in the year can be measured against this one rather than against whatever a retailer says it used to cost. Why that matters.
