Rock-It Surf 7'0 FunBoard - Our Honest Take on the Up and Coming Favorite Foamie
Honest take on the Rock-It Surf 7'0 FunBoard
Quick Take
The 7'0 from Rock-It Surf stands out in the crowd as an exceptional choice for both quick learners and intermediate surfers looking for something more than the infamous 1-season-Costco-foamie that inevitably ends up stuffed in a beachside trashcan. It's user-friendly without being clunky, so this board offers a nice balance of stability and maneuverability, making it easy to ride and control in a wide range of conditions.
- Versatile Size: Measuring 84â x 22â x 3â with 72 liters of volume, itâs large enough to float most surfers comfortably while still being manageable to carry and fit in a car.
- Durable Construction: The soft top design ensures durability and safety, perfect for those still perfecting their technique.
- Shark Deterrent Design: The Sea Camo stripes on the bottom are inspired by research suggesting that zebra stripes can help deter sharks, and is admittedly kind of cool in it's own right.
Benefits of a 7ft Soft Top vs Traditional 8ft:
For beginners
- Versatility: the great thing about a 7ft board is that it is a bit easier to handle in steeper or larger surf. It's also easier to turn. So if you're buying for an ambitious learner, you can count on this board to make it past the surf school hump. Once they learn, they'll still be interested in riding this board. Often times, beginners will ditch their 8ft board quickly after getting the basics down.
- Easy to carry: if you're on the shorter side, lugging a traditional 8ft can be pretty hard. We always recommend a 7ft for kids or even shorter adults who struggle carrying a big 8ft.
For Intermediate
- A good stepping stone: if you're looking to step down from a 9ft, or 8ft board to something a little easier to control, a 7ft board that still offers a funboard outline could be a really nice way to progress your surfing.
- Performance: The FunBoardâs hybrid shape combines the best elements of a junior longboard and a modern funboard, providing smooth paddling and easy wave-catching capabilities. The tri-fin setup enhances stability and control, allowing for more dynamic turns and progression in your surfing journey.
Is Rock-It Surf Any Good?
Lastly, about the company making this sea sleigh, Rock-It Surf. We personally know the guys over there and love the brand they have created. Rock-It or Rockit Surf is an upcoming brand from Virginia Beach and is not yet that well known on the West Coast. Luckily that means they still have a pretty competitive price point, even though they use the same manufacturing facilities and build process as other well known names like CatchSurf. We feel that Rock-It Surf provides the best price to value of any of the soft top brands out there right now, which is why they feature prominently in our store.
