If your kids are water bugs, like mine, then you need to check out these new KYPADS. I did a quick blog post about them earlier this spring, but would be remiss to not follow up now that we’ve had the awesome opportunity to demo these incredible boards for a few weeks.
We were lucky enough to take two KYPADS with us to Nantucket back in June and then were thrilled to hang on to them a bit longer so as to hit the beaches around Cape Ann too!
These boards were designed by a some local peeps who had the vision to create boards that are super kid friendly, easy to manage, and up to the challenge of some kid wear and tear.
My humble review of the boards? Well, first of all, they couldn’t have been easier to get on and off my Jeep…which I might add, is pretty high. I was able to put them up and strap them on by myself after having gotten the hang of the ratchet straps. Once the boards were off the Jeep most of the kids that we were traveling with (ages 6-12) had no trouble carrying them down to the beach with no help whatsoever! That is a HUGE plus! My absolute FAVORITE thing about the boards? Each and every child, without exception, quickly mastered how to maneuver the boards and took to the water with no fear, no assistance, and no difficulty. More importantly than that…each child, without exception, came off the water feeling proud of the independence they had just demonstrated…and pretty psyched that they had become so darn good at something so quickly.
My boys can’t get enough of the water. They are happiest when they are at the beach or on a boat. To be able to hit the water solo and with such confidence in such a cool way was so excellent for them. They were so proud of themselves and I couldn’t have been happier.
Check out the KYPADs HERE and learn about how they were created and how fabulous they truly are.

Wow sure have come a long ways with the new boards these look neat! Sure beats what I tried going around the cove on I spent more time in the water than on the board (but the raisin look was ok)…Humidity here take the breath away here and hot muggy! These colors on the ends add to safety can see if held up too! Thanks 🙂 Dave & Kim 🙂
