Wappa Owners Have Their Say

2024

• I bought three of your boards (Classic x2, Nova) a few years back and I absolutely love them! - Judd V. August 11, 2024
  
• Thanks for your help and the great deal for 5 boards for my family. My kids love them and surprisingly, so does my husband. We're a Wappa family now! - Gail N. July 12, 2024
  
• Caught my first ever waves on my new Bliss. So much fun! - Courtney P. July 6, 2024
• Received my board (Bliss) yesterday. I couldn’t resist taking out for a ride. It was my first time on a paddleboard, and I did not fall and came close once but saved it. Can’t wait for the warmer weather! - John R. February 9, 2024

2023

• I’ve just come back from my summer vacation where I paddle boarded daily (with the WAPPA, of course) and where I only have one it was a reminder that I want to invest in another, since my blowup paddle boards are convenient but I don’t truly love paddling with them. I don’t love sharing my WAPPA but always end up sharing it so others can experience the ride. - Adelaide H. August 23, 2023
• Just wanted to say, I absolutely love my Wappa paddleboard. I took it out yesterday for the first time and was so surprised how comfortable I was. It's nice and stable!  - Andrea I. July 17, 2023
• Hi Layne. My CLASSIC is a dream come true. I used to have an inflatable but it was always unstable and frustrating. I got a Wappa after trying my friends. Soooo much better now. - Marco R. June 26, 2023
• I didn't want a Wappa at first because it was more money than I wanted to spend. I'm glad I talked myself into one (Swirl). I love it! - Shirley W. June 9, 2023
• Hi Layne. My "Scout" arrived today, and it is truly awesome.... a thing of beauty!  Your team did a fantastic job of packing it, and although the outer packaging had been slightly damaged, the board itself was unscathed.  Thanks for all your help in helping me to get the paddleboard of my dreams.  I can't wait to get it on the water!   - Martha M.  May 1, 2023
