The Ocean & Earth Ezi-Rider is a 6'0 dual-stringer foamie, an orange fun board with a changeable fin system, at no purchase cost.
What it is and why I bought it
This Ezi-Rider came into the rack in March 2015 at no cost, a foam board with a curved rocker, rounded rails and a flat bottom, finished with a swallow tail in a standard thruster setup. At 21 5/8 inches wide and 47 litres over 6'0, it is built with a dual-stringer EPS core and changeable fin boxes rather than glassed-on fins, logged simply as fun.
It came in an orange yellow colourway.
How it surfed
Its best wave came at Freshy, at a top speed of 23.6 km/h (about 14.7 mph) over a 109 metre ride. It proved a solid, low-stakes fun board, with the changeable fin system giving more flexibility than a typical foamie with fixed fins. The logged wave range is 2 to 3 ft, ideal at 2 ft.
Who it suits and who it does not
A foam fun board with changeable fins like this suits someone who wants a cheap, low-stakes option for small, casual surf, with the added benefit of being able to try different fins rather than being locked into one setup. It is not built for anyone chasing performance or turning in anything beyond the smallest, softest days.
What happened to it
It sold on 10 August 2021 for $150, having cost nothing to acquire.
