Softboard Center - Softboard Fun and Performance

Soft Surfboards for advanced surfer

The soft surfboard has been considered for decade as a beginner surfboard only. It became a real alternative to “performance” surfing. The main reason to it the evolution of the technology used in soft surfboards. Moulded high-density cores, stringers, mesh and thin layer of extra strong foam have increased the performances of softboards in a massive extent during the last few years. You shouldn’t be surprised to see someone getting barrelled or land a straight air at your local. Add to this having no stress to break a board (first because they don’t break easy, but also because they’re way cheaper that PU boards), more paddle power, and funky designs and you have the perfect recipe for a big dose of fun this summer! Hard to choose the best softboard on this website as we have the widest range of softboards on the market.

Beginner surfboards

The Softboard, or soft surfboard, is also the ideal board for beginner surfers as soon as you look for bigger sizes and wider shapes. It’s a matter of security, as you reduce the risks of being injured or injuring someone else while using a softboard with soft fins. And it is also a matter of convenience, being more comfortable, cheaper and most times with higher volumes. We recommend you to try 6’6 softboards or 7 softboards for riders under 65 kilos and go for the 8’O softboards if you’re heavier. You’ll find the best beginner surfboard here at Softboard Center.

How to choose your beginner surfboard?

One always asks himself many questions before buying his first surfboard. We don’t know which budget to put in, or which size to choose in order to improve your skills in ideal conditions? The price obviously depends on your budget but you’ll find really good surfboards that will last long for 300€ (not a kind of landfill softboard). The Softlite School Bus has become a reference in the industry and in most surf school as being the strongest board on the market. Couple this with a wide shape and big volume and you have the best friend of any beginner! For tinier riders or children (under 45 kilos), don’t hesitate to go down to 6’0 surfboards and you’ll be able to ride it more radically when your grommet is tired.
