3/6/2023 0 Comments Softboard timeworksBy the way, the "Wavestorm" surfboard from Costco is a great little learning board for youths. All in all I have been having a lot of fun on this board, and now that winter is coming I need to save for wetsuits. Anyway, due to my finances, it was either this or no board at all. The Millennial is OK, seems like a pretty good board for me. My son and I are having a blast, and I'm really glad to be getting back in shape again at 54 yrs old. I checked Craigslist and found a new Millennial 10' longboard for $300 with fins and leash (I took out the stock fiberglass fins and am running the Millennial with a single ProTeck performance fin at this time, works well ). The local surfshops were nice but I couldn't afford a $800-$1000 board at this time. I last surfed in the 70's (on a 7'6" Sunset swallowtail). I live in Oceanside and went to local surf shops to buy a longboard to surf with my 12 year old who we bought one of those $100 Costco softboards. headshrink New Member Posts: 1 Likes: 0 post Liked in: 0 post Joined: Wed 5:12 pm I will hang on to the Millennial as a second board for friends, when my kids want to learn or if I have a problem with my other board. I am already looking for another board though, most likely a Stewart or Infinity because I think I will get better performance. Either way I am happy with the purchanse because it got me back into a sport that I missed. I do notice that other larger guys, older guys, with shorter boards are catching more waves than I can, which causes me to belive that the board is sluggish.or I just suck. Due to my limited experience on a long board, I am not really sure how to compare. It seems a but slow and sluggish but I am able to catch waves and even nose ride when I am lucky. I have hit it up against all kinds of things like my garage door, the ground, rocks other peoples boards in the water etc. I have surfed weekly (when there is surf) since June and have been having a great time. The boards are obviously shipped in from somewhere else and the only US (maybe Mexican) hands to touch them is the guy that boxes them up. timeserving timeservingness timetable timework timeworker timeworn timbal. They have a small corner of this huge warehouse that moves all sorts of products. sodomitically sodomy soft softball softboard softhead softhearted softie. I bought it on Ebay because I live close to the warehouse that has in Irvine, Ca. I figured I was not getting the best board but did not want to spend 500-800$ to find out if I was going to enjoy myself or not. Catch Surf Odysea 8Ft Log Johnny Redmond Pro Softboard.

My wife will testify that I have a tendency to "get into" sports, buy some gear and then burn out. I wanted to get back into the sport but was unsure if I would really get into it. I surfed a short board as a kid/teen but have not been in the water for about 18 years. I bought one of these back in June of 08.
