This compression molded skim shape is designed for performance and fun, just like the wave in Encinitas, CA that it was named after. This board is for those that want a skim shape without the fragile high-performance construction or price. The Swam, part of the Break Through Series, is built to last and also built to perform at a high level. It features a rounded diamond nose and tail shape for control and lift when riding forward or reverse, a single concave for easy glide and a slotted channel through the tail for control. Ride this board as a true skim or attach the shallow twin fins for added drive

I’m very pleased with my purchase from 88 Gear. My board was delivered in perfect condition within a week of when I placed the order. We love our new board and I would definitely ship with this company again.
So my board actually came in damaged from how it was packaged. The banding that was holding the board to a piece of cardboard was too tight and crushed part of the bottom edge… not a good sign for product durability, but it’s a cheaper board so it understandable.
Also the length of this board I got is for 190+ but one of the girls who’s is 150 has had the most success with this board but it is a little loose for her. A 220 guy can pull it off but it’s barley fast enough for him and I’m sitting at 260 and the board is not fast enough with me on it, but that was a risk I was aware of. I just wish they put an upper recommend weight limit.
Graphics on the board are fuzzy. Decking held well but feels like it might fall apart easily. The top of the board actually looks really nice and the molding of the board looks good.
Over all it seems like a good value. I would recommend it to people that want to do some tricks on skin style if they are between 180-240. If you aren’t confident in you wake quality then stick to the lighter side.
This is a very loose board great for doing tricks. Takes some getting used to but ince you’ve nailed it down the board is awesome for 360’s, etc.
