BPS 'Storm' Bodyboard with Premium Coiled Leash - Lightweight with EPS Core, Durable for All Wave Conditions

I had high hopes for the product after reading reviews not only on Amazon but through a couple independent websites listing "top 10" best boogie boards. Durability was one of the features they were praised for. Unfortunately this couldn't be further from the truth.Some history - Our family are all avid experienced water athletes. The boards were for my two sons ,age 8 and 6 ,weighing 70 lbs and 50 lbs and my wife who weighs 130 lbs . All well under the range of weight acceptable for these boards. We Live on the beach and are all experienced surfers, windsurfers , and kite boarders along with boogie boarding. Our equipment Maintance is excellent ,all our gear is washed in fresh water and stored out of the elements including our boogie boards so the Maintance of the equipment is not in question. As far as the usage , we all know how to ride boogie boards properly and do not abuse them in any way ,riding them the way they are intended. The boards were purchased in May and the first one started coming apart in June .I thought it was just bad luck so I glued it with a non toxic epoxy we use on some of our other foam products.This held for one more season . By the middle of July with less than 2 months of use ALL the boards started coming apart.They were creasing from pressure (which should never happen with a 70 lb child riding )I was trying to contact the seller to give them the first opportunity to respond to this dilemma but there is no contact for them. Unfortunately this is my only course of action.I warn anyone thinking of buying these to take a miss , do not do it.We re highly skilled water family that use sports equipment for many different water sports and these boards are the worst items we have encountered . I have attached pictures for your reference . If your looking for a throw away board then maybe consider these boards but at their price they should last more than 1 month and a half.

Great bodyboard that feels high quality. I had a lot of fun using it in the waves this summer but there are a few things that I would like to point out. It is very lightweight which I like, but being used to the heavier type, it took some getting used to. It may be pretty sturdy compared to other products especially considering its weight which I love, but I feel like "bulletproof surf" is a bit of a misnomer. After only having it a few days, I was packing it into the car for our beach trip, and once we got there I noticed a dent in the top of the foam. It wasn't large, and certainly not significant but I just wanted to point out that anyone who has this product might want to put on top of their luggage. This was probably just my fault though and just not being as careful as I should be. With its low weight, it may blow away a little faster than other heavier bodyboards. That's not to say that all bodyboards are light enough and have enough surface area to do the same thing.Okay I'm done with the cons, now lets get to the pros. First of all the packaging was great and I didn't feel worried at all that it could've been broken or damaged. Its lightweight construction may be a little unsettling at first, but it makes carrying out to the beach much easier. The strap on it is phenomenal! It is very easy to attach and seems very strong. The Velcro is also very tough and does not come apart easily, so you will not have to worry about it coming off your wrist/ankle. Price is also pretty affordable for something of such high quality.So this is a very good product, obviously with a minor problem because something has to be sacrificed for being so specially lightweight. I would totally recommend this to anyone who wants a high quality, lightweight bodyboard.

I received the items on time and the boards arrived in perfect condition with instructions.We are back from our trip and both my kids used the boards for 2 full days at the beach non-stop. Even when they stopped to rest, my husband and I used them. It took a couple of times to get use to how handle and get the feel for the board,but once we did we enjoyed them just as much as the kids.I would give a 5 🌟, but not sure if the ware of the 2 days at beach, slamming of the waves, riding them may have caused the ware on the blue wave board. The green storm board held out untouched. I do believe this is a higher quality board compared to others I saw on the beach and definitely priced accordingly. Most importantly, we had fun and we're definitely worth the purchase. Didn't take many pictures because we were in the water using or watching the boards being used. If the ware is typical then 5 🌟.Would definitely recommend to anyone. If someone out there knows what the next step board would be for a board one can ride kneeling down please share.

I’m really disappointed in this boogie board it started to bubble. I keep it out of the sun when I’m at the beach and I keep the colored side down. I use it quite often and I haven’t even had it that long. Other than that it’s a great boogie board and fun, The tether line is greatAugust 1, 2020 I am updating my review, the seller contacted me very fast I sent them pictures of the problem that I had and immediately they refunded my money. What a great company to work With when dealing with a problem. I have only Once,experienced such an Immediate response with a company that had a problem with her product. I would definitely recommend this board.September 2020 update. I’m still having fun with my board and I use at a decent amount, however, the top part is separated from the bottom of the board and the whole middle of the Styrofoam is exposed. It is unfortunate the board did not live up to the reviews and although I will have to buy a new board I won’t use this company to buy a new board.

****UPDATE****The shipper responded to this issue and was very helpful. Top notch service on dealing with the issue.The board seems fine (haven't used it yet) . However: it arrived with a gash in the top foam. The box had no visible signs of damage so I have to assume the damage was prior to packing. This would make it a factory second and not acceptable.
