Soft Deck
Softboards are a popular choice with new surfers, families and kids. Soft surfboards are popular because they make getting out into the waves fun and exciting. The boards perform in the same way as any normal surfboard. Softboard surfboards usually have a padded top sheet with a smooth poly base. The advantage of the soft deck is it does not require any waxing, the boards are cheaper due to the construction and the boards are focused at catching waves no matter what your age is.
Surfing is a great sport and the
only way it can grow and continue
is through the introduction of new
people into the sport. Soft
surfboards have been developed by
the industry as they offer the
perfect solution for those on a
budget who are keen to get into the
sport but don't want to spend too
much on their first board. Surfing
takes time and patience to master
but with softboard surfboards
beginners are able to easily point
the board towards the beach and
ride that first wave. Softboards
are a popular choice for families
who want to share a board between
them as the boards allows for
mistakes to be made and the soft
deck ensures that no heads, legs or
arms are knocked which often leads
to frustration when learning.
If you are new to surfing it is
most likely that you will have your
first surfing lesson on softboards.
The softboard surfboards used in
surf lessons are thicker than any
of the standard boards shown above.
They are very thick and ultra wide
to provide you with the best
platform possible to get you up and
surfing the board. The soft
surfboards still provide you with a
wide and stable platform but are
designed to help you progress. Once
you are up and riding before long
you will want to start to link
turns and get the board to carve on
the wave face, this is all possible
on the soft deck boards.
