For those of y'all beginners trying to decide between this and wavestorm, here's a summary of differences (from my noob 's perspective, having handled both my guppy and friends' wavestorm).
1. Weight. Guppy is quite a bit lighter, so it goes faster, and is also easier to carry (and believe me, as a beginner, you'll be carrying the board around plenty)
2. Surface. Guppy requires waxing and is really slippery without it; wavestorm does not. Dirt and sand tends to get stuck to wax, and looks ugly on white stripes. In contrast, the wavestorm pattern looks pretty clean even after reasonable amount of use.
3. Design choices. Guppy has a handle hole, which, together with small weight, makes carrying almost a breeze. But the handle balances the board without fins, and with them, the handle is just a little too far forward for comfortable carrying. In contrast, wavestorm has a tail pad for yet better rear foot friction, which is also handy for learning where you rear foot is supposed to go when you stand up.
