Bit of background – I’ve been surfing for a little over 3 years. Typically in Rockaway NY on a performance longboard but wanted something I could be a little rough on in the summer mush/ party waves and not have to worry about fixing dings every other weekend. Enter Goldcoast’s 8′ Verve. Board is a ton of fun. Lots of float but I didn’t feel like I was on a SUP like some other foamies I’ve been on.

Ton of Fun and Great Experience
Warning: Hit my head pretty hard on a box snowboarding a couple days ago (with a helmet… shout out to helmets for saving people’s lives). Crazy easy delivery, convenient size and weight (fits inside of civic hatchback and can be easily carried up and down stairs). No waxing required and great shape/size if you have experience on the big foam boards. Perfect for beginners as well as those looking to grow with the board. Seems super durable and well made – like it will actually last if treated well. Packaged extremely well in the mail. You won’t get bored of it as you progress.

I had high hopes for this foamie. I planned on using it in conjunction with my fiberglass Ozone to reduce fatigue. I also hoped to share it with friends interested in trying surfing for the first time. Unfortunately on my first outing with the board, I took a nose dive on a 4’er that not only produced and noticeable crack in the foam but also dislodged the GoPro mount. I wasn’t going to risk losing my hero 6 so I retired the board for the rest of the trip and reverted back to my trusty Ozone. Good thing I kept the box because I plan on returning it as soon as I get home. Update: I’ve decided to change my rating from one to two stars based on South Bay Board’s excellent Costumer Service. After posting my previous (unsatisfied) review and rating, South Bay
