Designed for getting acquainted with surfboards and riding short waves, BIC Sport PAINT has an egg shape and a soft top that makes it a top choice. It is considerably shorter than its fellow competitors, which is convenient for kids learning to surf and for adults who just want to have fun in the ocean. The surfboard is made from Expanded Polystyrene core, foamy deck and a hard slick bottom for that extra rigidity and a smooth glide. The manufacturer added rails and fins to make the surfboard durable and make it last for at least a few years hidden in your garage. Although the IXPE deck provides the board with resistance, it makes your equipment slippery. This is not particularly great for those whose balance has not yet been developed. That said, however, if the surfboard is waxed well before the use, you have nothing to worry about. Make sure to purchase a leash to secure your surfing session and head out to conquer the wild ocean waves.
