Designed by veteran pro bodyboarders Jay and Vicki Reale. You're over the cheapo department store boards. It's time to step up to a performance ride and quality that's easy on the wallet. You don't have to compromise anymore. The Tribe Guard offers a top-quality beaded flex 1.2pcf PP core with a carbon fiber stringer, an HDPE slick, graduated channels, and a shape that works for all riding styles. This is the best-priced polypro core board on the market, with sizes for kids to bigger adults.
