Softboard

The best value commercial quality softboard on the market. Yes this price is right- we sell at wholesale prices direct to you (Surf Schools pay the same price as the public). These are commercial boards built with quality components.

Why do surf schools teach on a soft surfboard? Because they are highly buoyant which makes them easier to stand up and catch waves and they are made of soft foam so if you happen to hit yourself on the board then the soft material will minimize your injuries. They are stable on the water due to the wide dimensions enabling a new surfer to stand up easier than a fiberglass surfboard which has less buoyancy”.

Design Features of a Foam Board

  • Low Impact – This is a low impact board that is designed for new surfers to develop surfing skills safely while having fun. This is the beginner’s choice because it combines safety with an experienced surfer’s feel.
  • High Buoyancy – The foam core of this CMP surfboard allows for high buoyancy while also enabling you to paddle quickly, giving you the ability to get onto the wave easily. The wide square tail enhances the boards volume and the tri-fin system makes easy work of maneuvering through the water.
  • Nose Rocker- Our design is built to get the most out of every ride. With a front nose kicker and loads of rocker this offers a longer ride. We have created the best shaped softboards for surf schools and beginners who want to get the most out of a wave. These boards have a great balance of shape, rocker and buoyancy for beginner surfers to gain confidence on a wave.

Construction Features of Kids Foam Surfboard

The core and components that make up a softboard are vital to the strength and durability of a board. Although you can’t see the inside of a board you should realise the importance on performance and quality.

  • EPS Core –There are 2 important elements to a CMP softboard and why these are sold to surf schools as a high quality commercial board 1) A waterproof 22kg EPS Foam Core Blank makes up the centre of the board. This is light weight and top quality foam. 2) Two Timber Stringers coated in Fibreglass reinforced by two layers of 6oz fibreglass sheeting over the standing area of the board making it ultra-tough and adding flex to the board.
  • Vacuum Sealed Construction – The production process of combining the layers whilst under pressure in a sealed bag is called vacuum sealed. The layers bond together under the pressure. This method provides the highest softboard quality, reinforcing the boards strength and offering a waterproof bond. Never ever purchase a heat laminated softboard as these are low quality boards and will more than likely delaminate very quickly. A vacuum sealed softboard is more expensive to manufacture than heat lamination, but this vacuum sealed method makes these boards strong and able to withhold large volume of use so they last the distance. This production technique is only ever used in high end soft top boards and is vital to a quality softboard.
  • High Density Slick and Deck – The bottom of the board is a 4 mm HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) Slick. Being a commercial board it is important to have a thick slick which is strong and durable. The boards deck is a 4 mm IXPE foam surface offering a light weight and soft top to the board for traction and durability.
  • Soft Rails– Our Rolled PE Soft Black bumper rails offer a softer shaped rail which is tapered and offers a more forgiving ride. This soft bumper rail is vital to the quality of a softboard and enhances the strength and impact of a board. When choosing a board make sure that a board has a soft bumper rail.

Selecting the right Softboard Size

The longer the Softboard the easier for a rider to learn, with the extra volume in a board. Keep in mind that the longer the board the harder to turn once you develop some skills. A rough guide to selecting the right size:

  • 6 Foot Softboard is ideal for any smaller child (around 3-9 years)
  • 7 Foot Softboard is great for ages 10-14 year old
  • 8 Foot Softboard size is suited to larger teenagers and all Adults with loads of volume.

    Sweet, fun rude

    Brilliant board. We have a whole range of boards from hypto shooters to top shelf expensive logs. These boards are tough, safe and just so much fun. Great for ploughing through the line up at your congested local without having to worry about dings. Get one.

    Great beginner board

    Bought this item to teach my 9 and 11 year olds to surf having tried a dodgy old 6ft foamie. This board is simply outstanding and had the kids on their feet in no time. It’s buoyancy is very forgiving and allows them to catch smaller, slower beginner waves, yet they still develop the balance and basic principles. Don’t waste your money on cheaper options, go for this one and have your kids enjoy it straight away
