The biggest range of soft surfboards in NZ

If you’re new to the world of surfing, you might be wondering whether a soft top surfboard is right for you. With so many choices, you might be feeling a little overwhelmed. Luckily, our team of experts have the knowledge needed to give you all the tips and tricks to picking the right one for you.

Why a soft top surfboard could be right for you

If you’re wondering what’s different about the design of a soft top surfboard, keep reading. They’re wider, thicker, and have more volume than a hard top surfboard, which means it’s easier for you to catch even the smallest wave. This style of board performs in the same way as other surfboards, although they are designed slightly differently with a padded top sheet with a smooth poly base for extra buoyancy.

When you’re first learning to surf, it isn’t uncommon to get thrown off the board by a wave. With that in mind, a foam surfboards soft deck feature means there’s less chance of hurting yourself like you might with a standard polyurethane surfboard. Complete with rounded, soft rails and more forgiving fins, they’re safer and more reliable without compromising on any of the fun stuff. What are you waiting for?
