At Wham-O, our core mission has always been to encourage kids to get outside, be active, and to play. Decades (and a ton of technological advances) later, that mission hasn't shifted. The Morey Boogie Board is a timeless example of what we mean when we say, 'go out and play.'

Morey Boogie was originally released in the seventies and has since maintained a reputation as one of the best body board brands in the world. Wham-O, known for its laundry list of classic outdoor toys, such as Frisbee®, Hula-Hoop®, and Slip 'N Slide®, acquired the brand in the nineties. Since obtaining new ownership three years ago, Wham-O has reinstated the brand's presence in Costco stores.

"At Wham-O, our core mission has always been to encourage kids to get outside, be active, and to play," says Richards. "Decades (and a ton of technological advances) later, that mission hasn't shifted. The Morey Boogie Board is a timeless example of what we mean when we say, 'go out and play.' We are thrilled to have the opportunity to continue to share this exhilarating beach day tradition with a fresh generation of Costco members."
