As the name says it is a fountain of youth
I have been riding my fountain of youth for the past 2 or so months and it is a brilliant board. As the name says the fountain of youth truly is a fountain of youth. My paddle speed has increased, wave count has increased and the board is a tad larger than what I normally ride but still turns with ease. The board makes me feel like a spring chicken and im by no means the fittest bloke these days. Top stuff and a terrific option for those like me who have put on a few kegs over the years.

Just purchased my second Ecobean after my first finally kicked the bucket after a solid 5 or 6 years of surfing. The eco is a great little board and has been my favourite for a long time, the new shape is a little more smooth through the turns and a really practical shape. Its got a bit more tech in it then my last one which was rather basic, this one has heaps of carbon and deck strength so I am sure it will outlast my previous one and give me some solid fun for the next few years. Thanks for making an awesome product that lasts and costs next to nothing, I don't know how you do it!

Cymatic - next level surfing!
Here’s what I’ve learned about the Cymatic 5’5” having owned one for three weeks now.
Board volume is 28.4 litres, which is what works for me (70kgs or 154pds, and 175cm or 5’9”) although I do feel it would be very easy to surf this even shorter. I’ve surfed with FCS 2 medium fins in quad and thruster setups. As expected the quad setup makes the board go super quick.
I’ve surfed mostly in the 1 to 3 foot range, but took the board down south to the Margaret River region and surfed North Point and Guillotines in the 3 to 6ft range. The ...Read more
Cymatic absolutely came alive in these bigger conditions. I’ve heard people say that the Cymatic looks twitchy. It isn’t. Twitchy gives the impression that the board will be unpredictable through turns or some other weird thing. What it is though is super responsive, which for me means that it goes wherever you look at on the wave. It loves vertical surfing more than any other board I’ve surfed. It carries the speed off the bottom turn and drives up into the lip with effortless speed. I’m not sure whether it’s the short size, the speed, the responsiveness or the combination of these, but what I’ve noticed the most is how much more time you seem to have on the wave. It turns quicker and tighter going into and through turns and when it comes out of the turn you have more than enough time to set up your next move. Even escaping closeouts feels easy – plenty of time to either pull through the back or prone out onto the flats.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

This board is crazy good!
This is the first review I have ever written in my entire life as I have never felt the need to do so. You know how it is, you get an email from a company asking for a review but the item is never worthy of a write up. I am 35 and been surfing for close to 30 years and tried out every brand under the sun and have a bunch of customs also so I know a fair bit about surfboards. I got this Eco Bean in a 5'2 I am 72kgs and 5'9 and it is a bloody good board, built solid and flipping amazing in the small mushy stuff. I've been surfing it daily rega...Read more
rdless of the conditions as the board handles everything from 1ft grovellers to 3-4 foot swell and after receiving the email thought it worthy of adding my two cents. The board has an epoxy core so its corky as, making wave entry a synch and I can keep up with the old mal riders on a board half there size. It takes on ankle height waves to steep drops easily and is the most versatile board I have ever ridden. It's lively and loose but I still have full control going through the motions. And the quality is awesome, on day two a beginner snaked me collided into my board and apart from a tiny paint chip it hasn't even impacted on the fiberglass, the boards super solid. I'd rate it without a doubt a solid 9 out of 10.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

very helpful
Fantastic staff who were really warming and helpful. I purchased my first standup paddle board from Noosa and they helped select the right size and style for me. they also went the extra mile and gave me plenty of tips on how to paddle, how to install all the items like my fins and rail tape and told me where I should start out. Fanastic.

Old School Service
I'm not one to buy many things online but with the expensive prices on boards in my town I started looking online. I found the surfboard warehouse by chance and the experience and service was second too none. For an online company they were exceptional, I was replied to by email within the hour and the online manager also followed up by phone regarding my questions which helped me out and made sure I chose the right size. The staff were super informative, gave me all the tracking details upfront and the delivery was much quicker than I expec...Read more
ted, it took 2 days to jump 2 states which is crazy quick. The board was packaged really well and they even have a booklet showing you all the installation and tips and tricks which is a pretty nice touch. Overall I am super happy with my board and also the service received both before and after my purchase. 5 stars.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

my favorite board yet
The eco bean is so f'in good!! A few of my friends have bought boards from Surfboard Warehouse and been pretty happy but this is my first and I am stoked on the board. Its fun and fast and rips in the muchy stuff. I'm lovin it, the only gripe I would have is the fins are just plastics, but once I changed those out for a set of glassy's the board goes.

Great
From the start of my research and how helpful and thoughtful they were with their advice to the delivery and the way the board was so well packaged to ensure it arrived safe and sound I am more than happy to recommend these guys to anyone. They have been a pleasure to deal with and attentive to my needs and answered every question I had by email and phone quickly. Thanks guys

Couldnt be happier
Board arrived in only 48 hours and I got to use it this wekend with some clean swell and it goes amazing. Its wider and a little thicker than I thought but it doesnt effect the boards performance at all just helps me with my paddling. The zephyr is awesome and I am keen to go out again this morning to give it another crack. Top board and couldnt be happier

Fin plugs popped out and glass job terrible
Bought an eco bean and the middle fin just fell out on the third surf. Tried to get it repaired but two shops wouldn't touch it as there was barely any glass on the tail of the board. Tried to resolve the issue with SBW but they weren't interested. You get what you pay for.

Magic carpet long board style SUP
I’m writing this review on my new Mistress SUP. I’ve had it for about 6 weeks and done plenty of surfing on it. Took me a while to get used to manouvering it due to the long narrow tail but no worries now. This board is totally awesome and rides just like a big long board but is surprisingly loose! I can swing it around like my smaller SUP but have the bonus of walking and nose riding!! I have the 32” version as I feel the 28 inch version doesn’t have enough volume for me. I’m 88 kilos and fit. A in between model would be good tho. Is but one! Highly recommend this beast

Exceptional Service and great business
I stumbled upon this little surf shop in Mooloolaba whilst on holidays and stopped only because of the sale prices on the board out the front. I come from the central coast and board prices are much dearer down here so my curiosity got the better of me and I had a look at their sup range as I was wanting to downsize. The manager there was extremely helpful and put in the extra mile, even dropping the board off once it was setup as we were only staying at the hotel down the road. Its been two months now and I am finally writing a review as the board has been amazing and this little store is simply fantastic

So good
Delta is a little f'in ripper of a board and I am so stoked on the performance. I normally ride a 5'11 shortboard but grabbed the 5'10 as they didn't make a 5'11 and the board incredible. Off the lip, plenty of speed and just gauges through turns I am really stoked and at the price I paid it is an absolute steal.

My best surf yet
Just received my new zephyr yesterday and took it out today for its first surf and jesus christ does this board go. A little more foam than I am use to but after 2 waves I was adjusted and this thing screams down the line and I was surprised at how well it turned off the tail. My wave count was up and I swear I was surfing better. This board rocks!!!

Friendly staff
Service was really good, I first called their 1800 number and got some advice on what board would be best for me and my family. The lady on the phone was really informative and ran me through everything from bouyancy and stability to how it would go if I took it out into the surf. I then purchased online but was having trouble with Zippay working and called up to get another staff member who manually processed it for me. Couldn't be happier with the level of service as no problems were actually a problem and they made everything so easy.

I love my board
The tajen is epic and I am super happy with how well it surfs after owning a hyptokrypto for the past two years this board goes just as well but at half the price. I just ordered a spare for a trip to Bali in a week as a back up as I can get two of these for the price of one hs. epic board guys, love it.

Really? How are they in business?
Shocking service. How on earth they manage to sell a board beats me. I tried to get someone's help in one of the stores but the young staff was just useless. I think maybe they should look at who they employ!

Thank you for the great service
I had no idea what I needed when I first visited the surfboard warehouse, I wanted to get the wife a standup paddleboard as a birthday present but had no idea what she needed. The phone staff were extremely helpful and patient after about 10 phone calls and a lot of procrastination they had answered all my questions. The staff are really knoweldegable and over helpful which made sure wifey had a good birthday. We got out on the water and the board was perfect so thank you very much guys for the great service and patience with an old man like me

Questions & Answers
Frans H.asked
Those delamination issues are a worry. It would be easy to hit over 70 degrees in the sun or on a closed up car in summer. Especially in the tropics or ozzy. So its the air inside pressurizing the deck. Why not add a simple pressure release valve in the boards. Problem solved!
1 answer
John M.The Surfboard Warehouse
Hi Frans, Thanks for your enquiry. So you are aware, pressure valves do not prevent delamination, as this is a side effect of the foam core literally melting. Boards that have a valve installed (such as a goretex valve) can still delaminate and either contract like a raisin as the air releases from the valve or if exposed to higher temperatures expand as the valve can only release a certain amount of air per minute (in cases where boards are left in cars this is typically the case). We run valves in all boards above 9ft but this is not to prevent heat damage.
