Surfboards

We have been publishing surfboard reviews since 2003 and are on a mission to provide our readers with unbiased and realistic insights about the boards we test. Buying a surfboard is a commitment, so we want to share our experiences with our readers to help you make more informed decisions. Importantly, we review surfboards from the perspective of an intermediate to advanced surfer. Many other reviews are written by professionals who can ride anything to an excellent standard. We’re quite practical and not afraid to admit when a board doesn’t feel right, or suited to our skill level. Some of our favourite reviews include those from the Firewire range, two of which received Editor’s Choice awards. We hope you enjoy our surfboard reviews and please feel free to contact us if you have a specific board you’d like us to check out. If you are a surfboard manufacturer please get in touch before sending a demo, as we have a tight editorial schedule.
