Gerry Lopez Costco Foam Surfboard Review: Brand New Only $99!

[@chasenbray]

Great video! Unfortunately so few of us get to surf beautiful fun little waves. I haven’t surfed in about 25 years and have found myself closer to the beach and this looks like it could be a great board for an old surf bum and for my older kids who are looking to learn. Mahalo🤙🏼

@@chasenbray Mahalos 🙏🏾 and yes perfect board for an old surf bum and kids to learn. Just taught my nephew how to surf on one 🤙🏾 below is a link to one of the videos of him learning on a Gerry kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2ezYYCLjLWBhqMsi=BJJ8Xl8Zjsp7cv3u

[@zay47green]

Finally got them at my local Costco and picked one up because of you. Thanks for the recommendation. This is my first longer board and it’s so easy to catch waves on after learning on a short board. Just struggle with making it out sometimes when there is a lot of waves crashing.

[@NobuSurf]

@@zay47green That’s great to hear, stoked! Yes you need to get good at the turtle roll or lifting your upper body off the board while submerging the board a bit allowing the water to flow in between you and the board. You just gave me an idea for a video 🤙🏾

[@zay47green]

@@NobuSurf Thanks for the advice I’ll work on it🤙🏽

[@MyWatchTherapy]

I think this is your best video yet. Love the explanations on the different surf styles.

[@NobuSurf]

Thanks bra, really appreciate it the comment 🙏🏾🤙🏾

[@Laniakea1649]

Just found the channel... Great stuff!! Just an FYI, I picked this board up on your recommendation today at the Waipio Costco, and it came boxed for Future fins, which is great for me.

[@NobuSurf]

Mahalos 🙏🏾 Oh that’s a new thing switching to the futures set up, pretty sick tho. Put some good fins in there and you’ll enjoy the board 🤙🏾

[@louisrobinson4164]

I got sick days after the brown water was gone. It stays dirty for days. Maybe go DH. I love my Gerry. For the past 3 years I’ve ridden it more than my other boards. The FCS style boxes let you put in your favorite fins. I ride keels and a nubster.🤙🏻

[@NobuSurf]

I’m with you, Gerry is so fun and I was thinking exactly the same thing of going to DH side tomorrow 🤙🏾

[@CHillAdventures]

Sick vlog bro... sucks u can't get out.. I got a double eye infection 2 years ago from winter snow run off... cheers bro see yah in the next 1

[@NobuSurf]

Thanka bra 🙏🏾 Dang double eye infection! 🤙🏾

[@CHillAdventures]

@NobuSurf yep, no Insurance, thankfully just got better. Bro you're at 1.1k!!! So sick congrats

[@waikikiki-chan4609]

The "New" Gerry Lopez foamies come equipped with Futures fins now. Maybe to prevent newbies from installing the 2-tab FCS fins in backwards ?

[@NobuSurf]

What really? They now have futures fin boxes?

[@mattgurin6168]

Smart, no waves that good to take chance going out in that brown water 🤙🏼

[@NobuSurf]

Ya bra, agreed 🤙🏾

[@adayinthelife5496]

That reminds me of my 8' Herbie Fletcher. A really fun board. Does it hang 5?

[@NobuSurf]

For sure, Hang 5 no problem Hang 10 a little tough at least for me 🤙🏾

[@mason1-c2w]

I went surfing with it today and he was very good

[@NobuSurf]

@@mason1-c2w Awesome ! Great to hear 🤙🏾

[@AdrianHernandez-cf9qp]

did you need to wax it? should i wax it as a beginner

[@NobuSurf]

@@AdrianHernandez-cf9qp I put a light wax on it every couple of sessions, I’ll show how I wax the foamie in one of my videos 🤙🏾

[@mattgurin6168]

Do you remember the morning that hurricane Iniki was hitting Kaua'i ? Talk about Brown water, the whole Beach Park was washed out all the way to ala Moana boulevard... I got the second to the last flight out before they closed HNL, headed straight Hilo after listening to civil defense sirens in Haleiwa going off since 4:30 in the morning. Could see bits of the Ala wai taking off... That's what it reminded me of when you showed all that brown water 🤙🏼 ho, nice that Costco special eh

[@NobuSurf]

Crazy I remember, I was in Makakilo for Iniki and Iwa and all the tress got knocked over and felt like the house was gonna blow over 🙏🏾👍🏾

[@mattgurin6168]

@@NobuSurf was sketch bra, came down hard in Hilo landed like A bouncing beach ball. Surf was so good in town the day before that, crazy only three people died in total I think Kaua'i and Oahu combined 🤙🏼

[@louisrobinson4164]

The day before Iniki was epic. The south shore was clean and pumping!

[@mattgurin6168]

@@louisrobinson4164 not a drop of water out of place, town was great everywhere. Plenty size, mostly uncrowded, best day south shore I ever surf in my life 🤙🏼

[@thebruceborn]

Hey Nobu, you think as a 6'2 beginner this will be good for me?

[@NobuSurf]

For sure, what do you weigh? I’m 6 foot 200lbs and the board floats me so well

[@papapita4713]

This board would be awesome in 9' and 10 '.

[@NobuSurf]

I totally agree! Gerry make a 9’0” version please 🙏🏾

[@DSC-i5i]

Aloha $99 i used to break boards when i was a teen and couldnt afford to buy a new one , so i switched to bodyboarding , mostly Makapuu and Sandys Alan Davis Sandys Coastline when i lived Kailua, but living near Waikiki now and 99$ i think i could handle Mahalo for video. Aloha DSC777

[@NobuSurf]

Right on bra, ya get em so fun! I just took it out near double overhead today. Even broke 2 of them in over head surf and Costco replaced them for me no questions asked 🤙🏾

[@davidlobo962]

LOVE THE GERRY!

[@NobuSurf]

So fun! 🤙🏾

[@LucasZambranoFilms]

I love surfing the ala wai!

[@NobuSurf]

Lmao, hardcore 😂🤙🏾

[@turbowtime9611]

I know it cost more but I'd love to see you on a 6'6 Carch Surf Skipper or 6'5 Catch Surf RNF.

[@NobuSurf]

I had a 6’0” Catch Surf Skipper, have some videos of it on my channel. The board worked well but was $300 something and not sure it was any better then the sushi. Here’s one of the videos on the Skipper kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGKkhp5-a9R4Z8ksi=FkAQe-Kh3La-KTZP

[@turbowtime9611]

@@NobuSurf Right on, tyvm!

[@shacktime]

For $100 these things ride shockingly well. Wavestorms are more maneuverable but these things are real gliders.

[@NobuSurf]

I agree well worth $100 and if you put better fins on it moves around a lot better 🤙🏾

[@shacktime]

@@NobuSurf As a twin you can really get these things to turn, too.

[@kaylerdjs]

thanks for the video and review. but where did you get those fins?

[@tdtom1376]

But NO headstands! 😟 thanks for catching us up with the editing.

I use the warm water sticky bumps 🤙🏾
