THURSO SURF Reviews

There’s no way to talk to anybody from there so it’s all through email and you’ll get your email at like 3 AM in the morning because they’re located in China. They’ll ship it through DHL which is possibly the worst shipping company on planet Earth. they notified me today that my package had been delivered, however it was not there’s no way to contact them and DHL literally is the worst to deal with. it’s all been a hassle. I don’t recommend anybody getting anything from them. We’ll see if the paddle ever makes it here. I hope it’s nice but I wish I’d spent an extra $150 to get something that’s made here For that matter. I’d like to just start making them here myself.

We recently purchased the Adept Youth 9’ Paddle Board, and from the moment of purchase, the customer service has been outstanding. When we had a small issue with the middle part of the board, the support team responded quickly and professionally — we were very impressed.

The paddle board itself is fantastic. The paddle is lightweight, just like a professional adult board, and our child absolutely loves it. We’re very happy with the quality and design. As our child grows, we will definitely come back for more products. Highly recommended!

This board is almost exactly what I was looking to get for my 10 year old daughter. She's done a bunch of local paddle sessions and a few recreational races with it, and it's worked out well so far.

The construction is the same as an adult board - it's lightweight, stiff, reasonably stable, and tracks well with the extra fins. The industry standard fin boxes are a welcome feature - we'll definitely be getting a shallow river fin setup in the near future.

She loves the paddle holder straps, and is a really underrated feature for kids. It can be really difficult for them to manage the bulk of a board, plus extra stuff like the paddle, leash, dry bag, water bottle, etc., and it's a huge help getting to and from the water.

Personally, I'd rather have a pointed nose on the front, but that rounded all-round shape is kinda what the market dictates right now. In my limited experience, what a refined nose gives you in speed, tracking, and glide is greater than what it detracts from stability and maneuverability. But my 10 year old doesn't seem to notice or care, so 5 stars all the way 😂

Doesn’t offer as much stability as the more expensive soft tops (ones you might rent or take a lesson with) but it’s decent, especially for lighter people/kids. I’m 5’4”, 145lbs and a beginner surfer (also age 35 so no spring chicken lol). I tried this board and for someone like me it would have been a total waste of money. I can use the more expensive 7ft soft tops but imo this one just didn’t have enough volume or width for me…But it was great for my 12yr old beginner!

I bought this a while ago so I could teach some friends but couldn't use it because I left for a deployment. Came back last week and went out the last 2 days with it. It was used yesterday for 1 hour and today for 2 hours. And as you can see, it's completely unglued from the sides and coming apart. Really disappointed and irritated with how cheap this is made. Please do not waste your money. It may look cute but it's trash (this was also in North Carolina waves where they're about 1-3 ft tops and very soft).

Had a great first time, people were very friendly and helpful

This board is ideal for your first waves, learning to surf, and practicing with different types of waves. Being 7' long, it's perfect because you can practice walking on the board and playing without fear of getting hit since it's very soft and lightweight, making it very easy to transport and store anywhere.The design is unique, retro, sublime, and elegant, and the color combination is perfect. Everyone has a Wavestorm, but this design, at least here in Uruguay, makes it more identifiable and recognizable. Everyone is fascinated with the colors and the wood-like deck; some people have even mistaken it for a fiberglass board.I would definitely buy it again without hesitation.This brand guarantees quality. I've had a Thurso Waterwalker SUP 10.2 for over 5 years, and it still looks brand new, with flawless colors just like the first day.Highly recommended brand and products.

I received this board as an early Bday present and used it yesterday 10/17 and loved it. I was on an 8.5' foamy board and ready to progress. I'd say I'm an intermediate beginner, I've mastered the white water waves and ready to drop into a green, unbroken wave. ( 5'5'' 120lbs). I rode the THURSO 7' soft top and was surprisingly impressed!! I'd never heard of Thurso except for SUP Boards. I popped right up on my first wave. For women and kids it's nice b/c I can actually carry my board b/c it's not too wide. It weighs only 10lbs too. You lose a tad on stability, but it's manageable. Get your proper pop up stance down and you'll be fine. I can't WAIT to get out on it again... This is a great board for a good price !! WTG Thurso ! And the colors make it a nice looking board too. Worth it !

The board looks good with cool designs. When our kiddo took it out for the first time one of the fins came off and the traction pad came off. The fin boxes are flimsy at best- if I could find replacement fins, I don't have a lot of confidence that they would stay in place.

The board is perfect, lightweight stable, easy to carry for my grandson I just got another one for my granddaughter

Brilliant service, quick and friendly.

First and foremost, I found this SUP Kayak Seat to be well designed, easy to install and adjust, comfortable and reasonably priced. After using it for two days, problems developed with the two front strap clips! One separated into two pieces and the other became "stretched" out (See pics). This occurred while simply sitting on the SUP enjoying the surrounding views. Clearly, the clips failed due to excessive force (e.g., defined as enough to make them fail). I am about 5'11" and 172lbs and I may have been sitting back in the seat vs. more upright, but one would not think this would cause such damage to the clips. I am not planning to warranty the seat, as I do think it is a good seat. The clips, however, are obviously lacking and I will be replacing them with ones that will be much stronger (Something for Thurso Surf to consider in their future manufacturing process)...

During the first use two of the carabiners broke. I changed them to proper stronger, standard carabiners (not really meant to be used for this purpose).

Then during the second use the material got torn.

I’m 6’ 220lbs and after the first paddle the front latches were bending open. I replaced them with something stronger.

Mit dem Paddel bin ich sehr zufrieden, es ist gut in der Handhabung und vom Gewicht her nicht schwer. Was ich gut finde es zu kombinieren, man braucht keine 2 Paddel Set‘s und kann ganz einfach umstecken, entweder als Subpaddel oder als Doppelpaddel verwendbar zum rudern, top :-)

First time using a SUP. I bought the Tranquility Yoga SUP specifically for stability for exercising. Haven’t fallen off yet, lol! I feel confident on the this very well made board. Plus it’s beautifully designed.

The slitted blade is way less stressful on the shoulders and back and also give a more stable stroke (no flutter) and better grip – love it!!

love how light the paddle is. The major issue is the bulbous handle. Some of us have smaller hands. I had to use my old Nixy handle which isnt carbon fiber. I hope there will be a way to solve thios.

I bought this to help my aging shoulders.It's a great paddle and I noticed the difference immediately even though I was already using a full carbon paddle. I also like how easy it is to put together and take apart to stow away. My only gripe is it doesn't come with a paddle bag. Other than that it's exceptional value for money

The paddle is great. Very light and doesn't put extra strain on shoulders. Needed to adjust my paddling method somewhat because it just cruises with ease in the water.

I have enjoyed this paddle, but it is definitely different and requires rider adjustment. One generally uses their paddle for many maneuvers, including balance in a choppy waterway. It does not react the same as a solid paddle when you are making adjustments in difficult waters. I haven't fallen off my board in four years but did so three times on the same day with this paddle in a confused wave waterway. I believe it is an adjustment needed on my side, but just wanted to highlight this for the benefit of other buyers. In the end, I believe I will adjust. There is definitely much less stress on the shoulders and my speeds remain consistent.

For the money this is a great upgrade over the nylon blade and the weight savings make things much easier. I’m no expert but I think the performance is great for anyone.

I bought the Expedition 138 Touring Sup and instead of the paddle that is in the box I got the carbon elite. I really like the paddle, especially that I could buy an extra blade to convert it to a kayak paddle so I could convert it if I wanted to. It isn't as light as my very high end single paddle but it is a very nice paddle which I will take with me when traveling.

I had a problem with the board. They didn't respond to my initial requests for help, but once they did respond they took care of the problem completely. I appreciate that.

My wife and I took our kids to Destin Florida for spring break. We went there last year and bought some body boards at the local grocery store for around the same price. They only survived for that one day of body boarding. I decided on this trip that I would, make the investment to buy something of better quality and purchased two of these. They worked fantastic! Destin, Florida has become our vacation spot, and I have no doubt that we will enjoy these boogie boards for many years to come! When we got home, and I was unpacking the van, I looked at those two boogie boards that still had some sand on them and it made me smile. It made me smile because I immediately thought about how much fun we had. The previous year, when I bought the boogie boards at the grocery store, they were thrown away and forgotten before we even traveled home. So again, if you are traveling to a place where your kids will want to boogie board, purchase this or you will purchase something that is absolutely garbage for about the same price!

These boards were perfect for our beach trip. They are very durable and made it through strong ocean waves and transportation as we drove from Chicago to Florida. The straps are also very durable and helped keep my family safe through all the fun with waves. My family loved them and had lots of fun with them!

I got this for my 12 yr old son to take on vacation. It looks cool and is sturdy, standing up to the constant dragging and running that goes with a boy that age, lol. It's super lightweight and is also soft enough to be comfortable. He couldn't be happier.

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➕👍👍

The pump came with my board and the gauge has never worked. The pump works well otherwise., yet not very helpful without a working gauge.

High quality solid pump. I like the different settings making it easier at higher psi.

In one of the photos it says “aluminum tube” giving the impression the pump tubes are metal. It's only the small tube between the two large ones that is metal. Could have easily justified the price if it was all aluminum. Haven't used it yet but I'm sure it'll work well regardless.

I have 2 SUPs to pump to 10+psi. To speed things up, I have a battery powered pump to fill the bulk of the SUPs (before any pressure is added). Then I use this hand pump to add in the pressure. This hand pump is much faster at adding the pressure than the powered pump. If I can only take the hand pump or the powered pump, I would take this hand pump. It is also much better than the hand pumps that came with the SUPs. One of them started failing after the second use.

Love this pump. Blew up my SUP in no time with minimal effort. You get what you pay for. This pump looks sturdy and well made, love it, thanks!

A very excited grandson who can't wait to try the board out on the west coast of Ireland

Neither kids, nor adults couldn't successfully use it. Either size or shape, but something is wrong with it.

I had a blast on this body board. I'm 6'7", 230 lbs. Made catching waves so much easier than using my kids' boards. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase and plan to use it often.

All good

I'm a surfer and was skeptical about boogie boarding until I tried this one!! I can't figure out the tandem part but for just an adult this is incredible. get fins!!

Did some research before buying this “power” house. Our SUP has never been so rigid and so fast. The old pump just did not get the psi levels like this one does, with half the workout. Highly recommend.

Took the 138 on the first day in choppy water with a headwind, and it delivered! This is my balance for speed, efficiency, stability and cargo hauling.
I love how it bundles with an electric battery pump/compressor, so much better than hand pumping or needing to run the truck with a tire compressor. Just what I wanted.

The board arrived in a timely fashion. Set up was super easy! And on the water, my new favorite board handled amazingly well.

can't be happier with this board, it is my first board but I'm glad I purchased one that I can grow into. the board looks beautiful, love the details and it feels great all around... I can already tell that it's a very fast board.... and the rechargeable pump is wonderful

I recommended your Board to a friend of mine and he purchased one yesterday, he choosed the Maxi, because he is a beginner.

I love my paddle board (first one). Who would have thought such a simple and elegant sporting vessel would provide such profound mental and physical therapy? Thank you for making an 5 product and contributing to a vibrant community of fellow enthusiasts. My SUP adventure has just begin. Start yours today!

Beginner paddler with a sporting background. Open coastal waters and wetland canals. 4" version. This isn't a beginner board per se, but I highly recommend this board for a beginner who wants room to grow. The only thing I can compare it to is the Isle Pioneer 3 (10'6" x 34" x 6") which I also own. The Pioneer is a wildy stable, fairly zippy, maneuverable board. The Expedition tracks better, is faster, handles open water and chop way better while being a little less stable and a bit harder to turn. The stability becomes a non issue once you adapt. Plus, it's still a relatively wide board all things considered.

This became my main board all summer and while I don't know what I'm missing yet with faster, narrower, pricier boards (let alone hard boards), I have zero complaints. Although maybe some additional rings for rigging would be nice (The Isle's design with. endless rings is pretty sweet actually). But the rigging that's included is still quite good.

The board feels quite stiff, only to reveal it's flex when you hop up and down and feel it's center flex which is indeed pronounced. But you feel almost none of that when stationary and paddling.

Its length is also really helpful for stabilizing open water chop. Much more than I was expecting.

For the price, performance, features and quality, $550 for a board you can learn on but still grow with is super rad. Plus the board itself looks rad too. Classy actually.

I skipped the kit and spent additional cash on a Shark 3 pump and a carbon fiber paddle from Nixy. Very happy with that combo. If you're fairly certain you're going to stick with the hobby/sport and you're paddling conditions have any open water, wind or chop, go with the 12'6", the 4" version, and save for a better paddle. This is a really wonderful, affordable, well designed board.

Needed a bigger Touring SUP board, i've already tried a friend's one, absolutely loved it.
Great quality, beautiful design and i bought it with a great package deal, Rechargeable Electric Air Pump (so easy) , Carry Roller Backpack, Carbon Hybrid Paddle, Leash, Fin Box Touring Click Fin. Probably the Best Value for money you Will find.

I weigh 220lbs and took a 90lbs Weimaraner out with me. We did great and was able to maneuver easily.

Excellent rigidity, and very detailed!

Impressive package, full of features. Love the storage bag. But, major disappointment #1. wrong fin was shipped. After driving to launch, taking my time setting it up, the final step of the fin insertion was impossible. fin was too big. Thankfully they are making it right shipping me a new one, but order picking accuracy shouldn't be an unsolved problem for a mature company. Disappointment #2: obviously the instructions were written by a non-english speaker, or ran through a poor translator, making the first impression a bit like unboxing chinese knockoffs from amazon. These are both very very easy fixes. I look forward to trying the board out, after i get the right fin.

This is a great paddle, and the one I reached for all summer. I had what I thought was a full carbon fiber paddle prior to that, and bought this one for my son to use so he'd feel the difference when we went paddling together. Welp. Once I put this one together I immediately felt the weight difference and knew my other CF paddle wasn't 100% carbon fiber. Guess which one my son got? Hey, we're always told to take care of ourselves first, right?Used almost every day of the summer on the paddleboard — on lakes, saltwater and high waves — and even while crabbing on the Salish sea. GREAT paddle, delivers in every way.

Unlike a lot of paddles that say they are carbon fiber, it is usually on the shaft. There really isn't much weight savings. The Thurso Elite is full carbon fiber, handle and paddle included. The handle is very comfortable and smooth seams. The locking mechanisms are clamping as well as a metal snap on the bottom piece. All the pieces fit together well with no issues and stayed tight. The markings are nice and I like the addition of adding a height chart. It is easy to swap between people and adjusts back. There were no QC issue sin the weave or seams. You can also convert this paddle to a double paddle with a full CF paddle. The only issue I have is that at this price, it would have been nice to get a bag or some kind of protective piece at this price. CF is pretty fragile so this would have made a more complete package. Otherwise, for the money, this is a top of the line paddle and so far has worked really well.

This is the best paddle that I have ever seen, used, or owned as of today! This paddle is not only light, but it's also strong and the fit and finish is flawless. Anybody that is on the water a lot will tell you that the best paddles available are the carbon fiber ones. The pushing power that you get from this paddle is insane. To say that I love this SUP paddle is an understatement! There are three pieces that fit solidly together, and the marker pole stays in place. This carbon fiber paddle has a double lock installation system with no rattling, twisting, or movement. It is so well built that it acts like one solid piece. I love that the paddle does break down into 3 pieces because it makes for easy carrying and storage. It would have been nice if they would have included a carrying case, but that's not a make or break deal for me. This carbon paddle feels great in your hands, and there aren't any rough or sharp edges at the seams. The carbon fiber shaft only weighs 25 ounces, which is 708 grams, and it actually does float. It can easily be adjusted from 71" to 87". If you have a kayak that you want to use it with they give you the option of purchasing another blade. We may actually buy it because we do have several kayaks and I would love to use it with them as well. I love the look, the feel, and the portability of it! The angle of this paddle is incredible! I have never felt such easy and perfect cutting through the water as I have with this paddle. It takes all the work out of paddling and brings back the fun! I highly recommend this paddle!

Light, strong....great deal for the price...

So incredibly lightweight and easy to use. Absolutely worth it. Adjusts to my height at 5:6 fairly well. I would say this is the best paddle, the quality feels amazing. It's pukka lightweight carbon fiber. Whenever I talk to my friends and try their paddles. This is the lightest one.Breaks into 3 parts so it's easy to transport. I'm very happy with it.

The Thurso Paddle story is a bit complicated. There are three versions: Hybrid (newer nylon), Elite (carbon), and a slitted low-drag option. Adjustable from 71–87 inches, it features an easy-tension, twist-free clamp layout, a 10-degree dihedral blade angle, and an 85–87 square inch face.

The newest carbon nylon hybrid model runs 40% off on sale and pairs with an extra conversion blade for kayaking. Do not let the ergonomic handle look fool you. The hole going completely through the 7" x 4.25" handle grip looks like it might cause hand cramps, but it is incredibly comfortable—arguably more so than my Starboard.

As an above-average kayaker with over 33,000 nautical miles of experience circumnavigating Southeast Alaska and paddling across Oregon, Washington, and Texas, I know efficiency. Dropping the spare blade in to create a 96-inch kayak paddle setup makes this stand-up board fly, leaving a distinct wake behind me. My core and torso do 100% of the work using a high angle of attack. The kayak motion resembles a freestyle swimming stroke, while my SUP style uses a long cadence where I lock my knee on the stroke side and turn my torso underneath my lead arm instead of leaning forward to pull the board. Different strokes for different folks.

The Thurso's 10-degree face cut completely eliminates blade flutter while grabbing water aggressively. It delivers a 20–22% boost in speed and efficiency over the cheap stock Flypark stock blade. My Alaskan touring background taught me that keeping a long blade in the water against heavy wind and current maximizes glide, so I dig in rather than taking quick mini strokes.

While the Thurso is a massive upgrade, my Starboard Enduro M holds the edge due to its ultra-light carbon swing weight and an aggressive 13-degree blade rake. However, Starboard uses marketing hype to claim a 19.2-inch blade length. They measure clear up to the shaft joint, hiding over 3 inches of non-functional neck shaft. Measuring the actual usable surface area from the shoulders down, the Enduro is 15" x 7.75" (technically 7 13/16ths), which mirrors the cheap Flypark shape at the shoulders but wins on rake, weight, and eased edges. The Thurso measures a true 15.25" x 7.5" and grips water tightly with its squared teardrop bottom, though Thurso is wrong to round their width up to an 8-inch catalog spec.

To improve the Thurso shaft, they should print a simple alignment line on the opposite side of the graphics. This would let paddlers line up the blade with the hidden button hole at a quick glance instead of fumbling to square it up.

My new Werner Zen 95 just arrived at the door. It measures 16.75" x 7" (roughly 91 square inches), offering a deeper, narrower vertical profile than the others. If you struggle to move your trail hand over the rail for a true vertical catch, the Zen 95 is built for you. Still, the Thurso remains a top-tier contender for anyone upgrading their "came in the kit" paddle.

On the ugly side, Thurso's messy inventory partnership with Amazon caused a full three-week delivery delay. They also need to fix their site to state the true 7.75-inch blade width instead of rounding off.

At 40% off, the Thurso is an excellent value. I would only pay full retail if buying the Elite carbon setup for a lighter swing weight. While all paddles feel the same weight when pulling through a water stroke, you will absolutely feel the cumulative weight penalty of a heavier hybrid shaft during the recovery lift, stroke after stroke. Fortunately, the tough hybrid material resists chips and dings, meaning you never have to baby it. If you want to skip spending hundreds on full carbon, this is your blade. If you want it lighter, buy the Elite. Simple.

Love this paddle! Lightweight and the grip feels great in hand. Sadly lost my previous one, but was happy to see this model is still available.

I bought a 10 " paddle board 4"thick and the I decided to change for a 10"6 6thick. Costumer service made it very easy.

Love this paddle. Very light and easy to adjust between my 5'4 height and my partner's 5'11.

Best paddle I’ve ever used! It’s so light and comfortable on the water.

Mit dem Paddel bin ich sehr zufrieden, es ist gut in der Handhabung und vom Gewicht her nicht schwer. Was ich gut finde es zu kombinieren, man braucht keine 2 Paddel Set‘s und kann ganz einfach umstecken, entweder als Subpaddel oder als Doppelpaddel verwendbar zum rudern, top :-)

Really pleased with my second paddle to allow the option of turning it into a kayak paddle particularly in a strong headwind.

This review is about the roller bag that came with the board. I Love the SUP - but the roller bag is starting to come apart I have only rolled it twice for short distance and only on my driveway. I take the board out of the bag from the back for my car..blow up the board in the parking lot…Bag does not get dragged or treated 1ly…Outside seams on the front pocket are weak…Anyway..maybe you can send a new bag…Newly ordered blade has not yet been used. Waiting for Thurso to get the Kayak seat in stock…Paddle that came with the board is okay…Just ordered a lighter two piece Paddle from QB...

I love it and it is making my SUP experience even better. Totally recommend it!

Easy to assemble.

I love my surf board so far no issue.

This board is sturdy and has beautiful colors. I used it as decor in a bedroom.

This is a cute board and perfect for the beginner wanna be surfer, like my teen. It is very lightweight and the color is very trendy. It fits easily in the back of the jeep too!

This is a beautiful board. Perfect for my daughter's beach themed room.

My daughter loves this board. Sturdy but light weight.

Much bigger than I expected, my 14 year old is excited to learn to use it. Trumps the small foam biggie boards by miles!!! Really well made and stode up to the Texas Gulf in good sized waves. For reference my son is 5'7". And it came with a nice carrying case that has a pouch to store fins or Google. Woukd recommend to others. My husband who surfers even said it's a good board, he was showing them how to use it.

My kids were so excited to get this boogie board and for the price we thought we'd skip all the delamination problems like with other boards.Well it arrived ALREADY BUBBLING! Extremely disappointed that we spent the last week waiting for this and need to send it back.

This was a Birthday gift for my adult son. He lives on the Beach in Florida. He loves it

160 dollar board, and ovio, none of that goes into quality assurance. I was tired of buying the sub $40 cheap boards and hving to replace them every week. Well i guess every week is better than as soon as i open the box. This board was highly rated online, and Im not really sure why. You would think when spending 150 + on a board, it would be checked before it left the warehouse. Wont buy again.

I bought this bodyboard for my 10 year old son. He always had bodyboards that cheap pieces of trash. He wanted one with a slick bottom so I started looking around and reading reviews about the best bodyboards out there. I found this one on a list of the top five bodyboards so I looked it up on Amazon. I thought it was a fair price so I bought it. He had a huge problem obeying me so I didn't give it to him for a long time but once he started listening again I gave it to him. He was so stinking happy with it he just about wet his pants. It's a little bit big for him he can just about get his arm around it when he is carrying it but he's not shrinking. He looks so cute walking to the beach with the bodyboard in its carrying case. The orange color is great it really stands out in the water. This bodyboard allows him to ride even tiny waves. I feel bad I made him use body boards that sucked for so long. It's totally worth the money.

The Thurso Surf Multipurpose 11’6 is very well built. I specifically chose it for paddling with a child or large dog, and the full length eva foam pad is perfect for this. My son can run along the length and jump in at the nose without slipping, and my dog is free to wander up nd down safely.

I don’t give it 5 stars due to the cost, as it is very expensive, and the bag it comes with made of a soft shell like fabric, which will wear and tear quickly. I wish this was a harder more durable fabric.

For the price I never thought it will bend

I have owned a few different boards now and buy a different company each time. While this is ahead of most of the cheap Amazon boards it has room for improvement. The fins require tools and small screws to secure them. The cargo straps look better than the traditional bungee cord but the Velcro is weak and can easily come unstrapped. Not great when using to hold down important gear on the open water. Overall quality is decent but my search continues for the right board

It’s our first board and first time ever trying such an activity. Was really easy to inflate it, rechargeable pump big plus, though on/of button act weird, it works only if to push it from one side (probably just bad contact on it), but with couple of tries I figured how push it. Got to 15psi and shut off automatically, took about 5-6 minutes. Fins easy to attach. Bag for accessories big plus too. Tried it in all different positions to paddle, stand up, on my knees, and sitting like on kayak (probably next would purchase kayak seat). Board is stable enough (even for first timer ). Not a pro to give opinion on quality in comparison to any other, but it was totally satisfying for me and my wife . Found it even to be easier to navigate with my wife on board. And carrying backpack fitted board, two paddles plus 2 additional blades, 2 life jackets and pump. Wheels on it made my day better;)

I could not be more happy with this paddleboard. The build quality is 5 and the engineering side of it is well thought out, I could not be more happy. I am 6 foot 2 inches tall and weigh 275 and this SUV is as stable as as a Jon boat! Love the grip surface on the entire top side and all the mounts, handles and tie downs you could possibly need. Even the straps to hold your paddle on each side. It tracks just fine and I even lost a fin from not securing it properly and TS was right there to replace it, GREAT customer service too!!! I already have my eye on the Expedition 150 once I get a bit more experienced to gain a bit of speed! Love this board, you will not be disappointed.

Excellent board, very stable. Had a blast with the whole family the first trip out. 2 things I would change. 1. Add D rings and bungees to the back of the board. 2. Would've preferred slide in fin boxes instead of the US fin boxes. The adapters aren't cheap and we had to get some to install a dual U92 pro thruster kit with a 24v 100ah marine graded Lifepo4 battery for all day fun time cruising.

I have a heavy solid cooler than I like but find it too heavy to carry, so this soft cooler is very light and seem pretty well made. It has a large capacity and is waterproof, leakproof and puncture-proof that make it well suited for camping. The shoulder strap is very convenient for carrying the cooler. Looking forward to my next trip with this soft cooler.

There is no doubt that this is a great cooler especially for outdoor water sports. The brand is specialized in paddle boards so this cooler has a lot of features that are catered for paddle boarding. The cooler is lightweight and insulation is very good that you can tell from the design of their zipper. There are no outside pockets but there are many clips to secure it on paddle boards. The cooler is solid built and the material repels water very well. It is really perfect for water sports.The only thing I don't really like is the zipper which is very hard to open even I applied the lubricant several times. I understand this is for insulation purposes but it's not convenient if I use it on land. I'll try not to open it as many times as possible.

Great quality ice chest! Only flaw is the zipper is a pain to zip even after using the lubricant supplied with the ice chest. Hoping it gets easier with use. Other than that it's very nice, sturdy and well made.

This cooler case is a nice alternative to hard coolers. An added bonus is that is also equipped for a day of activity and adventure. It has a thick insulated lining on the inside to keep food fresh and cold or keep your drinks icy.It zips around the top cover and has several carry options. The zipper is a bit hard to operate, but luckily there is a heavy duty zipper pull to make it easier. There is a tube of zipper lubricant included as well if needed. The zipper is designed like this to keep the cooler properly insulated. There are several buckled straps so that the cooler can be hooked onto your recreation gear to secure it. For example, stand up paddle boards, kayaks, off road vehicles, etc. I like that this is much easier to carry than a hard case cooler and you have more flexibility where you travel with it. We packed it with hard ice blocks along with pre-made hamburger patties, coleslaw, and other cold foods and spent the day at the beach. We were able to clip the cooler to a chair when it got windy. Everything was still cold many hours later and ready for us to grill the burgers for a late lunch, no problem. The interior is easy to wipe clean. The exterior wipes up well also.

This cooler is light weight and very well made. I placed a jug of ice in the cooler and there was still a small amount of ice after 24 hours. This was indoors at a temperature of 69 degrees. The zipper on the cooler is very tight and took some strength to open and close. There is zipper lubricant included which did help with the zipper. The cooler has a strap as well as handles for carrying. It is also made to be secured to a kayak. I would recommend this cooler to anyone wanting a smaller cooler that will keep things cold for an extended time.

Too small to fit any kind of travel mug. Will fit a pop can but that’s about it.

Got this for my 10 year old daughter. Shipped on time, came with all the parts and so far works great. I was particiularly impressed that CS contacted me because my email address looked funny (it does, but it was right). I appreciated that there were human eyes on my order. Only surprise - I didn't see an owners manual in the box, but I didn't need one, so no biggie. Oh, and on my daughter's second time on the board she got to paddle around with a harbor seal!

My daughter is 8 and it fits her perfectly. She loves it! She's able to paddle and maneuver around the water with no issues. I have to say that Thurso Surf customer service is also awesome! I was going to buy a new pump for this board because the one i already have for a different brand didnt work. They help me troubleshoot and figure out what i needed to do and i didnt need a new pump. Thanks!

My daughter is 8. She loves paddling. This board fit her perfect and super stable on the water. Glad i found this board. Also, have to throw in that customer support is awesome and really responsive in email.

Awesome quality! Perfect size. My 5yo can use it on its own. Size is perfect. Quality is very 3 !!

Great, fast delivery, awesome board!

I recently returned from a trip to Costa Rica where my wife and I spent a month next to the beach. I never missed a daily session in the time we were there, racking up over 1400 rides on my Quill 42” model.

The size worked very well not only for me (81) but also for my youngest granddaughter (12)

The THURSO SURF Quill 42” bodyboard is easily the best bodyboard I've ever owned. It is lightweight and durable, and it offers great maneuverability and good distance. I am 5-10, 185lbs, and I rode countless waves at Gulf Shores, Alabama, during a recent weeklong beach stay. People actually asked me if I was a “pro” or if I was using a professional board, because the THURSO SURF board made me look good on the water.

Great size, quality, price, love the way it looks. It doesn't weight much at all & so far it's durable. 30 year old female using this for reference I'm 5'2 118lbs

He loves it. It's big & study. Everyone smiles when they see him on it.

Loving these boogie boards. Sturdy not flimsy. Nice size for kids and adults. Good price for quality. Shipped fast and well packaged. Bought 3

Before we even had a chance to get this out in the water, it was dented. My kids are rough on things, but honestly, I didn't expect that a little push into the couch would make a big dent like it did! Luckily it's not super expensive, but I am a little disappointed.

I got 2 of these in different sizes & colors for Christmas 🎄for my twin boys👦👦as their first boogie board. I ordered this boogie board at 33 inches for my much lighter in weight twin at (67LBS). He is a fish that lives in the water, he is very agile & has alot of energy to burn. I wanted a beginner board that he could grow into that was stacked with features to be protective & durable. I also wanted features if he advances past the basic skills & wanted to go a step further with it. i am not exactly sure if a board like that quite exists but from all if my homework 📚I studied on prior to ordering, this is the one I chose 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 wants & needs. Unfortunately since it is winter ❄️ time I cannot report how it feels & handles until the spring 🌸so I Will definitely update additional pics & info then!!! So far I rate as 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️stars➕👍👍

Perfect size for my 12 year old grandson. The color is good and it feels well made and is not cheap and flimsy, do not have to worry about it breaking while he is using it. We are 10 minutes away from the beach so he will get a lot of use with it. Suitable color for boy or girl

This is really up there in quality. The foam is dense, it's a perfect size, and has a thin sheet of hard plastic on one side. That plastic COULD be better, just a bit more thick which is why I knocked off a star. Overall though it's better than 90% of boogie boards you can get out there and I definitely recommend it.

Couldn't tell the difference between both fins - but it tracks well!

Perfect cooler for my SUP! Kept everything cold, even in the 110 degree temps!! Holds a ton of stuff! Excellent purchase!!!

Comparing this to a couple other waterproof bags I have, this did not live up to my expectations. However, the customer service surpassed my expectations! The overall build of the bag was great, I just found the zipper more difficult than my other bags and the cooling mechanism wasn’t the best in the Arizona heat. Quality of materials was good though and customer service was wonderful! The bag did not fit my board as advertised, but I also have a larger than normal paddle board.

I’ve tried to contact customer service twice now. The cooler leaks, when tightened closed all the way. Do not like it at all and wish to return

Best customer service, had an issue and resolved immediately!! Will order from them in future and great products for your water sports
