By 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 $100 Costco softboards. headshrink New Member Posts: 1 Likes: 0 post Liked in: 0 post Joined: Wed 5:12 pm I will hang on to the Millennial as a second board for friends, when my kids want to learn or if I have a problem with my other board. I am already looking for another board though, most likely a Stewart or Infinity because I think I will get better performance. Either way I am happy with the purchanse because it got me back into a sport that I missed. I do notice that other larger guys, older guys, with shorter boards are catching more waves than I can, which causes me to belive that the board is sluggish.or I just suck.
#SOFTBOARD TIMEWORKS HOW TO#
Due to my limited experience on a long board, I am not really sure how to compare. By the way, the Wavestorm surfboard from Costco is a great little. It seems a but slow and sluggish but I am able to catch waves and even nose ride when I am lucky. the Millennial with a single ProTeck performance fin at this time, works well ). I have hit it up against all kinds of things like my garage door, the ground, rocks other peoples boards in the water etc. I have surfed weekly (when there is surf) since June and have been having a great time. The boards are obviously shipped in from somewhere else and the only US (maybe Mexican) hands to touch them is the guy that boxes them up. They have a small corner of this huge warehouse that moves all sorts of products. I bought it on Ebay because I live close to the warehouse that has in Irvine, Ca. Both parties hold the right of termination of the agreement without notice. The agreement shall be unlimited in time. I figured I was not getting the best board but did not want to spend 500-800$ to find out if I was going to enjoy myself or not. TimeWorks, its employees and /or subcontractors shall not be liable for any damages of whatsoever kind arising from the use and implementation of said module(s). Ended up getting a 9'8" for around 370$ US, which is obviously really cheap. 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.
