Catches every wave you paddle for. Easy stable board to ride. Hard work to dig in a rail and do a hard turn. Definitely a carving board, not made for radical stuff. Great for really bad small conditions.

The Seaside paddles extremely well getting into waves early. It's bottom design and narrow rail at the tail helps it hold into the wave and generate speed. Loving the board and it makes me wonder about the Seaside and Beyond as it has about the same volume at 6'8".

I’m in a love hate relationship with this board! Have had some of my best waves ever on it but if I’m if I haven’t surfed in a while, you really have to work to get into waves. Perhaps it’s my height and the board being much shorted and flatter that I’m used to but I often find it hard to get into the take off once it gets a little steep. The flatness of this board that gives it such speed and acceleration does come at a price. Would buy again but it’s def not a quiver killer. Has its place but once the waves get good you’ll be wanting something that will get you up and going a little earlier.

Super fun board! I got this as a board to keep me grinning in small summer slop...but I’m also poor and this is the first brand new board I’ve ever owned. I went for this one to get a bit of bang for my thousand bucks but also fill that small wave box. It is a great board. Really fast, glides around sections and you can turn like fighter pilot or throw it around as promised. I got some twin keels to go with it as well as the quads- I’m yet to try out but told they work well too, and give it a couple more dimensions for smaller days too. The paddle is good, and I love the length. I am a hungry and lazy beaver though so I’d be tempted to get more foam and cop another inch if I had my time again...but seriously, can’t complain.

It is my favourite board so far ! Great groveler that paddles easily and flies down the line. With rob machado quad fins it has plenty of hold and release when you need it. A must have in your quiver !

Just started surfing and wanted a board that was fun and easy to use. I decided on the Seaside as I arrived at the surf shop the day they were bringing the new stock in (A sign from God). So I thought what the hell. A super light board that paddles fast and can be turned around very easily if you want to commit to a wave. Almost turns as well as my bodyboard. Seems to generate speed quite easily too off the bottom turn and gliding over fatter sections. The wider frame makes it easier to balance on than my other board. I would definitely recommend this board to someone who wants something fun, easy to use but still performs well. I think I got the perfect size for my experience and the 1 to 4 foot waves I'm surfing on.

An awesome board takes off really well and has meant my wave count is up, Flies down the line and floats over sections with ease. Ridden it as twin - I liked it responded well and didn't slide out (was small 2-3' surf)

Very fast board that will get through the fat sections ,float over the crumbly sections and then drive on down to pull a screamer cut back. My wave count has gone up since riding this board.

Aswome board slaps hard
