What best describes the reason you initially bought a Slyde handboard?

• I was looking for a surf/beach product that was travel friendly, and easy to take down to the beach, but still loads of fun to use.
• I looked at a lot different handboard options on the market, in the end the strap is what initially sold me, it is the most comfortable hand strap I’ve ever used. Then the shape of the Bula and being able to hold the wave.
• I was wanted to have a new feeling on waves.
• To have another way to have fun and get exercise in the water.
• I've always loved surfing and bodysurfing, I was building my own handplanes from wood and broken surfboards and liked the designs Slyde manufactured.
• Performance driven.
• I grew up in Catalina, have always been a water guy. Ever since my kids have been doing Jr. Guards in Huntington Beach they loved bodysurfing. It got me back into it. Slyde proved a quality board at a far price for me and my sons to go barrel hunting together.
• I bought it because every waterman needs to be proficient in multiple crafts. Slyde handboards are technically the best in the world.
• Fun like a bodyboard but fits in my backpack.
• I wanted a surf product that I could have fun with friends and family at the beach - a product the whole family could enjoy and participate in.
