Compared to Wavestorm, our boards are significantly more durable, do not waterlog, and are constructed for performance and reliability in the water.

Nope! Every Formula Fun surfboard comes equipped with a built-in traction pad. If you prefer additional grip, you can add minimal wax, but it’s not required.
5. What Surf Accessories Do I Need?
Getting your board ready for surfing is straightforward. You only need:
• Leash: To keep your board close and safe.
• Fins: Essential for control and performance (Formula Fun boards feature Futures fin boxes for versatility).
Optional but recommended: Board bag or sock for transportation and storage.
6. How Do I Choose the Right Fin Setup?
Our boards typically support a versatile setup:
• Single Fin: Classic feel, stability, ideal for cruising and trimming.
• Thruster (3-fin): Versatile, provides a balance of control and speed.
• Twin Fin: Loose, fast, and playful, suited for experienced surfers.
Many Formula Fun surfers prefer the thruster setup for all-around performance and ease of use.
