With so much area up front, the Bomber paddles incredibly well. She glides with ease from a forward position yet will still slice a nice carve off the tail.

Easily insert & remove the fins based on the wave conditions or the riders ability. Don't upgrade your board -just change your fins.
Nice looking board. Easy paddling and balance. Responsive with performance fcs2 hard fins and not stock soft fins. Best of both worlds between a short and long board. Rode in 2-5 ft with a variety of waves. Comfortable on the body. Will make this my everyday go to board over my hard top short board.
Awesome board,
I'm 5"11 185lbs, floats me really good.
Easy to paddle, an catch waves, that's what it all about, the fun factor.
Have been keen on this board and was hoping it wouldn’t be super spongey like the Catch Surf boards. It’s firm but with a little give so you can still push through turns but not get smashed when you fall off.
First couple of sessions have been really fun in small to medium size surf. Not the easiest board to duck dive but overall love how responsive the board is for the shape.
I own a number of high end surfboards (7'6 LibTech, 6'2 Firewire) as well as a Wavestorm (also a foam board).
There are some real advantages to surfing foam boards, despite people thinking you are a newbie.
1- if you are surfing in an area where you're not sure if the coral could destroy your board, foamboards are great because they are cheap. In particular the Bomber uses closed cell foam which means it doesn't absorb water when punctured.
2 - when attempting more ambitious waves you can fall on your board without hurting yourself. I dont know how many times I've fallen on the edge of board against my rib cage. When you're older like me, it's not fun. It also makes you gun shy the next time you want to attempt a bigger wave.
3 - the extra volume lets you catch the wave earlier so you can pop early before the wave gets too steep. Great for older surfers or newbies.
Now comparing this against the Wavestorm, which is probably the most popular foam board on the market, I I am overall very pleased with the bomber for several reasons:
1 - the foam surface has traction but does not chafe like the wave storm. I put a think layer of wax and that was enough.
2 - it has less friction than the wave storm letting you slide your feet under for pop ups more easily.
3 - the FCS2 fin boxes lets me use my other fins.
Other pros:
The design of the board is pretty cool. I've seen a lot of foam boards and most are painted with neon paints. That's not just ugly it basically lets everyone know…
