Softboards

Softboards are suited for surfers who have had a surf lesson and want to practice surfing whitewash waves. If you’re new to surfing and still trying to find your feet, then these learn-to-surf boards are what you want to start on. Made from hardened foam, they are perfect for first timers as they are more buoyant and stable in the water than fibreglass designs.

Learn-to-surf boards are also a lot thicker than standard boards, making it easier to catch waves. This thickness allows them to float a lot better, meaning they won’t get ripped away when a wave breaks on you.

Learn-to-surf boards are also a safer option. Being a beginner, you’re probably going to fall off a few times and get hit by your board. Foam is a lot softer than fibreglass, making these boards less likely to hurt you and less likely to be damaged.
