Designed with a wider outline and tail than typical soft tops, this board delivers extra stability that helps beginners balance sooner, stand up easier, and catch more waves from day one.
Stop struggling. Start smiling 😃
At Own the Wave (by BPS), we know choosing the right surfboard can feel overwhelming — especially for beginners. With over 30 years of real water sports experience (for ourselves and our own kids), we design boards that make learning easier, safer, and more fun. From our Kiwi garage beginnings to helping hundreds of thousands ‘get to their happy’, we’re here to set you up for success straight out of the box.

Designed for Beginner Confidence 🤗
Built specifically for kids and teenagers learning up to around 150 lbs, the wider mid-section and tail provide excellent stability for easier balance and quicker pop-ups. With 38 litres of volume, the added buoyancy helps learners paddle, catch, and ride waves with more confidence.
Safe & Stable Setup 🏄
The three removable soft fins are beginner-friendly and safe for shallow water learning. They’re easy to install and help provide smooth tracking and control while progressing skills.
Everything You Need — Straight Out of the Box 👍🏻
Your Claw Strike comes ready to ride with a grippy deck, three soft fins, and a genuine 6-foot surf leash with rail saver to protect the board and keep it securely attached to the rider.
Premium Construction Details ☝🏻
The deck features a double-layered PE skin (IXPE over XPE) that’s water-resistant, grippy, and forgiving for beginners. The waterproof EPS core is lightweight yet strong, reinforced with stringers for added durability and flex control.
The bottom layer is XPE with a 1mm HDPE slick coated in hex mesh — built for speed, durability, and smooth glide across the wave face.
