Review: Great quality product - I’m really pleased with the Gator skimboard… I’m 65kg and it works really well!
Review: Ordered this for my son for his birthday. The item arrived quickly and the company emailed me the day it was delivered to see if I was satisfied with my purchase. I received another email a few days later just checking in on the product. This is a company that stands behind their product. My son expressed interest in skimboarding but we didn't want to invest in an expensive board if he didn't like it. This is a great board especially for beginners. I love that it doesn't need to be waxed. My son used it all weekend. Very happy with our purchase and with the customer service from the company.
