Whether you’re a kid heading into the ocean for the first time, an adult nervous about the waves, or a teenager looking to try something new, the Tandem Boogie has got you covered. It’s designed to fit anyone—you can ride it front to back or side by side. It’s all about family fun. And the best part? Thanks to our patented Dynamic Air Design, we’ve managed to create a board that fits into a compact bag. Just show up, pump it up, and you’re ready to go with a board that has handles and a camera mount so you can capture every moment.

Looking to join the Tandem Boogie family? We’re all about bringing fun to everyone. And Robert, would you like to give it a try?

Sure! You can grab onto the handles, and it feels solid. It’s a blast, even for adults, and you can even go side by side with someone. Imagine sharing the experience with a loved one or even your kids—it’s a lot of fun.

The idea behind our company came from family. Growing up in Santa Clara, California, we did a lot of water activities. There’s even a picture of us five on a paddleboard! And it’s not just about family bonding; we also knew how to get things done. John and I decided to start this business after our daughter, Juliet, was just six months old. I have a background in industrial engineering, so I know how to make products, while John’s the one who knows how to sell them.

It’s funny how we stumbled onto this idea. After some trial and error, we figured it out. Our product isn’t just fun—it’s something people can really enjoy with family. And we’re always fine-tuning it to make sure it’s the best it can be. There’s always a lot of work behind getting something out to the market, but we’re in it for the long haul.

We know there’s always a lot of competition out there, but we’ve learned a lot from it. And while it’s exciting to see what big brands are doing, sometimes it’s best to stick with what works and keep improving. Whether it’s trademark issues or perfecting the design, we’re committed to making the best tandem boogie board we can.

It’s been a journey. We’ve learned a lot about testing, perfecting, and launching a product. But ultimately, the fun factor is what matters most. So if you’re looking for something to enjoy with friends or family, give it a try—you won’t be disappointed!
