Salt Gypsy Mid Tide Surfboard for Sale, Reviews, Deals and Guides

This board is great, it's thin and maneuverable and performs great in both small and large waves. The board shipped to my house with no damages and no plastic because the brand is trying to eliminate their plastic use and be more Eco-friendly.

The board itself is pretty nice (I wouldn't say great - the glass on the deck and bottom felt way too thin... like I could puncture it with my thumb), but the way it was packaged was awful. The rails were protected, but the deck and bottom were covered with merely a thin piece of cardboard. No bubble wrap or styrofoam. I waited 2 weeks for the board to arrive via UPS and received a damaged board (major ding on the bottom). It was clear that UPS hit the side of the box. If the board was packaged with more protection, I think it would have been fine. Backcountry was great and gave me two options: return for a full refund or get the board repaired and they would reimburse me. I decided to return it. Seems silly repair a brand new board that I hadn't even surfed yet! Bummed, but overall I think it was a blessing in disguise because the board itself felt pretty fragile to begin with.
