I took both the Aqua Marina Magma and the New 2018 Beast to Woolacombe North Devon for a surf off. They are both great boards to surf on. The Magma being a little narrower (30inches wide) and longer (10ft, 10Inches long) than the Beast made it ever so slightly quicker to catch a wave as with these dimensions will achieve greater glide through the water. However the added stability of the wider Beast (32 inches wide) made the whole experience much more fun and enjoyable. As you are less worried about balancing and not trying to fall in, you than can concentrate on catching waves. If your quite experience then the Magma will be your favourite out in the waves and if your just starting off then the Beast will be your weapon of choice! Everyone I meet at the beach is surprised how well these inflatable boards perform in the surf. The added rigidity of the 2018 boards with their new duel stringers and enforced side rails have made the boards more agile and perform closer to a solid board.

foufdog - Hi, the beast is a fantastic all round board. I’ve been testing all of Aqua Marina’s boards beyond their normal (recommend ) limits and they are very durable. For normal flat water paddling you will never have a problem with the board. It’s only when I’ve been surfing in over head large waves that I’ve found an area that needs some work. The leash D ring will wear out after intensive beating in the surf zone. After a while it will break and I’ve had to have this replaced and repaired with a new D ring attachment. This only happens when your abusing the board in rough surf. The boards don’t normally come with a paddle. So I’m not sure which paddle your referring to. When I was given an option for the paddle I went for the Carbon one. Either the Carbon Guide or Carbon Pro. The Carbon Pro is super light and strong. You what a really light and stiff paddle with a small amount of flex in the shaft. If you have any other questions feel free to ask me any time.

thanks for the in depth reply Jack, yes it will be used on the estuary (Essex) so pretty flat and hopefully the occasional Surf trip to Cornwall. Yeah I understand regarding the leash attachment, good to know you have thoroughly tested/ abused the board in the surf though, must be pretty damn good. So I've found on on eBay complete set up with 'Sports II Aluminium 3-piece paddle' so should do the job I guess. I might invest in a better paddle down the line. I was looking to get a RRD or Jobe SUP bought might give the Beast a go....

Diferences between Echo and Magma. I found Echo in 307€, Magma is 369. Too many diferences? Thanks

Wow, nice vid. Want to buy Aqua Marina SUP and i’m stuck between 2019. BEAST and MAGMA (both are 32" wide). I’m 76 - 78 kg weight, my wife 65 kg and son 65 kg too. I live at the Adriatic sea and we have here very small to small/mid sized waves, speedboat waves and flat sea. Nothing much to surf on it like in video (maybe once a year). Once, twice a year waves are bigger but this is rarely. Sometimes my son want to play with paddle, and me too we want to making short turns etc. on the beach and sometime we want to ride distances between 1 - 3 km always near coast, not the open sea. I like playfulness and my wife cruising so its must be “one fits all” paddle Sometimes my wife and son want to sit together on the same paddle, but also very rarely. Would You kindly please recommend me wich one to choose: Beast or Magma ? Thanks in advance for your answer.

hello ...it is a durable i sup? what about the fusion ...i'm 70 kg beginner in sup(but i do surfing) i don't know if is better fusion or thrive...answer me please

@jackhill3252 6 лет назад

norax - Hey Norax, yes they are very durable. The only issue I’ve had is that as they have so much volume once you wipe out or get caught in the white water a few times the leash attachment point, where the D-ring is attached to the board can break and I’ve had to have a few repaired. As long as you keep an eye on this they are fabulous SUPs to surf. If I had the choice between fusion and thrive. It’s got all the new tech, like duel stringer and reinforced side rails and not to mention the tail pad! This is a small SUP and should handle better in the surf zone compared to the other larger boards. I’m yet to try it but if it’s similar to the Magma and Rapid then it will be awesome!

Hi im between magma and beast sup, i have 110 kg (240 lb), what recommend me, i want use on river or lake, what sup have more speed? Thx

@jackhill3252 4 года назад

So sorry for not replying, The magma would be the fastest.

@yakuza76 6 лет назад

I'm interested in buying an Aqua Marina Breeze. My weight is 77 kg. Do you think it is possible to surf waves like your video as with the Magma model ?. Thank you

@jackhill3252 6 лет назад

I'm around 81kg and think you would be better suited to one of the 6inch boards. The Breeze is only 4inches thick this makes them more suited to very light paddlers. The 6inch thick boards will be loads more rigid and have less flex making them better for surfing and all round paddling.

@yakuza76 6 лет назад

And to navigate and some small wave? Is the Breeze recommended for me? Is that the price difference is € 130. Does the breeze also use double stringer technology? Thank you

@jackhill3252 6 лет назад

The 2018 Breeze has the Double stringer but I would recommend any of the thicker 6 inch boards such as the Thrive, Magma or Beast.

@yakuza76 6 лет назад

Ok thanks for all

@yakuza76 6 лет назад

Sorry you told me 4" thick. Echo is 4 not 6. Isnt it??

@jackhill3252 6 лет назад

Sergio Ribera Gonzalez yep echo is 4”. It might be worth trying one before you buy. See if you can find a local dealer? Perhaps one of the newer 4inch models will be fine for you? Check out reviews by water cooled Sup he has surfed the Echo!

@yakuza76 6 лет назад

Thanks but very Small waves in video...

@jackhill3252 6 лет назад

Yes and you can see the board flexing. So I think you should get the 6 inch boards!

@jackhill3252 6 лет назад

I'm uploading a new Beast surfing vid soon have a look at that!
