Want to get your hands on all the latest kit before it even hits the shelves in the shops? Want to test ride the latest fins, check out new boards and watch all the latest DVDs and let the world know what you think?

If you're a budding journalist or a dab hand with a video camera and a committed surfer we need you on the team. We'll send you some great kit, you just need to write a few words on it, or send us a video review. The best reviews will get the best kit and we'll keep sending it until you get bored of riding it...



To join the team you need to send a snappy, constructive and intelligent review of a piece of surf kit you're already using (it can be anything from leash to wetsuit, DVD, accessory etc) either in writing (photos will only strengthen the piece) or as a short video review. We'll select the best of them for the team.

Do I need to be a great surfer?

No. We want a range of opinions from surfers of a range of abilities, if you're a standout at your local spot that's great, but you just need to be a committed surfer and regularly in the water regardless of ability.

Do I get to keep all the kit?

Some yes, some no. We'd love to send you a full range of FCS fins, but we want the whole team to have a chance to ride them so we'll need to share them around. Other items like pre-release promo DVDs, accessories and neoprene will be yours to keep. We'll also be sending test team riders to events and demo days to ride the latest boards and get a taste for what's new in the industry.

What else do I get from you?

Aside all this kit to test, the chance for your voice to be heard by over 750,000 surfers we'll give you a great discount on ANYTHING in our store.

How often do I have to write reviews and how long for?

It's up to you, if you want to stop getting pre-release gear that's fine just let us know, all we ask is if we send you kit you put a little effort into letting our users know what you think of it.

How detailed do my reviews have to be?

Go to town. The best photos and text and the most ingenious ways to test the claims of new product the better. Our best reviewers will be first in line for the latest and best product. Likewise for video reviews the bigger your effort the stronger our commitment to make sure you have your hands on the best of what we have to test.

For a chance to join the team email your written or video review to store@magicseaweed.com with the title 'Test Team Review'.

Hey whats up Im Jeff, I go to school in Philly but spend all summer in Avalon NJ surfing about everyday i work as a guard on the beach( i know i know you can hate me) so i get to be in the water all the time not to mention stay after work and surf till dark. I just bought a camera for my board but havent gotten a chance to use it yet. I make a lot of weekend trips to hit the off season surf in south jersey which is usually the best. I would be happy to test anything you send me and write up a review. Love the site check it about everyday and daydream about the swells im missing

Hey guys, My name is chris and im from Massachusetts but I am currently going to college in Maine. The surf in New England is really underestimated and is more than qualified for even the top surfers. I am in the water regularly and would be more than happy to test anything you send me. You can be expecting my review.

Hey I'm sorry we've been checking the inbox more than the comments. We've selected some initial members for the team but keep the sample reviews flowing - we'll want to make sure the best people get the best kit...

Hi Ben would a joint effort, that is all our family be able to write reviews as one? The wife Don't surf but she's great at telling us what to do and what not to do, what looks good or bad. You know the score. Paul

Hello again, this is wingnut123,I'm excited to deliver you a good sample review. Today I'm at work, but I will have time enough to make a written review and mail you. I also have a digital video, so I'm very curious how that video-review should look. Can you send me an example of how you would like it to be? Unless u want me to figure that out myself! if any other questions, feel free thanks and greets Cedric

No problem with the surf club being involved, we just need some idea of what a review would look like that we can use when we choose the team. We've had quite a few submissions so thanks to everyone and we'll be back on it shortly. Wingnut if you can email us a sample review it'd be good to consider you for the team. Thanks.
