Surfboard Types
Mini-mal / Funboard surfboards
Who for: Beginners to Advanced
- Beginners who don’t want a large heavy board to learn on
- Intermediates who like the feel of a longboard but want to progress to more manoeuvrability.
- Kids looking for a great beginners board
- An experienced surfer who just wants something fun to catch a lot of small waves on
Longboard
Who for: Beginners to Advanced
- Beginners who want the most stable board to learn on and catch the most waves on.
- Advanced surfers who want the fun of catching lots of waves with ease and the challenge of advanced longboard surfing
- Heavy or “less fit” surfers who want to catch waves with ease
- Anyone can have fun on a longboard!
Softboards
Who for: Beginners only
- Kids wanting something safe to learn on
- Beginners who only expect to have a few surfs every now and then.
- Not for someone serious about learning fast and progressing quicker
- Have rubber fins so don’t turn effectively and in some countries (eg Australia) can be ridden between surf-life saving flags where fibreglass boards are prohibited.
Fish Surfboards
Who for: Beginner to Advanced
- Advanced surfers who want speed and fun in small waves
- Beginners who want something other than a mini-mal to learn on
- Beginners looking to progress off a mini-mal
- Intermediate or advanced surfers who are heavier or want something easier to paddle but still have the ability perform well.
