excellent board. EXTREMELY fast down the line works much better with a set of keel fins (instead of a quad). Overall an easy board. paddles well can handle size. not a groveler this board is ideal for pointbreaks. As such it is really not a board to bring for punchy beachbreaks !

Great surfboard and for sure one of my favourites! I’ve had my seaside for 3 months and I’ve been surfing point, and beach breaks from 1-4ft. At Sunny Coast, the waves aren’t too powerful, so I opted for more volume to broaden the board’s range, and I’m happy with it. The features that brights me the most are drive, manoeuvrability, and paddle power. Super fun board in any conditions. I highly recommend it!

Great board so fast and lots of drive but also turns really well. Had so much fun on this board. It paddles really well for someone older. Would love the new model

I'm an pretty average surfer who plateaued on standard short boards and couldn't advance from the level I was stuck at. I purchased this board as a groveller but have now transitioned to my daily driver. My surfing has dramatically improved since riding this board. I can surf this board in every condition, from 1 ft grov days to 6 ft steep waves. Its fast instantly from takeoff and the sharp tail bites into the wave during turns. This is the best board I have ever road.

Excellent board from small fat summer waves right up to solid 4-5' pumping surf. Excellent quality, had it 2 years and very hard to damage/ding, very stable.

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.
