With an emphasis on safety and durability, the Beach Cruiser feature a thick Polyethylene deck and a soft slick skin on the bottom surface that’s tough enough to take a beating, yet is soft enough to keep beginners safe.
The secret to the performance of these boards lies within the core. An embedded plywood stringer system maintains the integrity of the rocker while providing a stiff, stable platform. This lets you paddle onto waves with minimal effort and feel confident once you’re on your feet.
These surfboards are designed to withstand the toughest of treatment, making them ideal for surf schools. The vacuum construction process eliminates hard or sharp surfaces, and prevents peeling or bubbling. A reinforced tail zone also provides added protection.
Available in a variety of sizes from 9 foot right down to 6’0″. Each board comes fitted with a convenient carry handle and an easy-to-use fin system complete with flexible thruster fin set.
Your initiation into the world of surfing starts with a Gnaraloo Beach Cruiser.

I have a spinal injury and am 50 but this is my second foamy I was struggling on my 8ft and then found this brand and went the 9ft and it is the best. I can paddle super easy, catch plenty of waves....just need to get the perfect swell and practice downward dog some more (my popup with my back injury) and all will be sweet. I have sat out the back with the big boys on this, been pummelled plenty and this is SOOOO MUCH FUN!!! Do yourself a favour and get one YEWWW
Gift for my daughter she loves it light and easy.
Very happy with the board, needing something to get me back on waves quicker after years away. Always happy with boards from you guys!
I bought for my daughter and she loves it. Further we were both impressed with the service.
She absolutely loves her board
Loads of fun for beginner surfers or even surfers who can surf . My go to board in full slower waves 👍👍👍👍👍

Kind service and fast delivery. The surfboard is great quality and beautiful
Hey how’s things the boards I bought r for my girls for Christmas so can’t tell you much at mo thanks for getting the to us so fast!!🤙
It’s well suited for beginners and slightly advanced surfers. I’m from Europe but moved to NZ just now and it’s perfectly suitable for me
Perfect for beginners and so cute!
Excellent quality surfboard and unbelievably fast interstate delivery at Xmas time!
It’s a great starting board
I order the board in the moring while having coffee and it got delivered the same day before lunch!
We purchased the Beach Cruiser 2022 for a beginner surfer. It seems we got the correct board for a 13 year old. Plenty of buoyancy for kids. As beginners there have been lots of wipe-outs in a variety of surf conditions. The rounded edges and nose of the Cruiser has meant no injuries which is great.
Really well built, I'm a beginner and this board is helping me improve.
Great board
Fun, hassle free board for large humans to ride !!
I am anovice and had many questions and tended to repeat myself. You guys were awesome and patient. It also arriveed very quick!! so quick that my roof rack hasn't arrived yet
:D
Thanks for everything
Super buoyant! Great for beginners.
So far loving this board. Turns nicely and very stable, perfect for me as a beginner. Got my 6yo keen to surf also, which is fantastic we can do this together.
A great all rounder and will be in the quiver long-term.
Service also outstanding from GSI. Look forward to the next purchase with them as I progress.
Absolutely brilliant service!! The board is fantastic too!! Such an awesome, fun ride. Perfect for a fun little surf but handles really well in medium sized swell too. Just so bloody stoked with it! THANK YOU!!
Great fun board. I’m 95kg and 6’1” and not the best surfer but it works well for me!
This board is nice and stiff, doesn’t bend and flex and push water when paddling. Also quite light for size, and carry handle slot in the centre makes it easy to carry, as foam boards are thick and hard to get your arm around. Leg rope plug pulled out after a few surfs, long swim in rip resulted, don’t know why but replaced and all good now, hopefully. So far so good but time will tell how durable it is overall.
Really happy with my new board. It arrived super quick, it’s nice and light, carry handle makes it so much easier and it’s sleek. Took it out for a surf a couple of days ago and it was awesome, so much fun. And also love the colours on the front and back
Fantastic team & communication. Thank you so much, prompt delivery and no doubt an amazing board! Very happy customer :)
Best Christmas present ever! I am 96Kg 6'2" and previously had a big fibreglass Malibu which I could occasionally get up on but struggled to paddle onto waves properly - sold it. fast forward 10 years bought this board and paddled easily onto the first wave and was able to ride the third wave to the beach. Great for catching what I want - small waves and you can feel the board accelerate..
Best excuse to go to the beach ever.
