Surfers use surfboards to paddle, duck dive, pop up and ride waves in wave conditions big and small. Surfboards can be somewhat fragile because common construction materials like fibreglass, foam and epoxy can become damaged.
What size soft board should I get?
An ideal soft surfboard length for an adult is around 8 feet in length. A softboard around the 6 feet is best suited for a child. For small children who won’t progress in surfing so quickly, or for adults who only go surfing on vacation once a year, they are a great buy.
What size Foamie do I need?
Soft surfboards or foamie surfboards (as they are also known) are sized from 5ft 6 upwards and we recommend something around 7′ for kids of average size up to 12 years old. As they improve they might want to come down to something around 6ft 6 or 6ft 2, which is easier to turn and so aids progression.

What Board should a beginner surfer get?
The best beginner surfboard makes it as easy as possible to catch and ride as many waves as possible. Because the more waves you catch, the quicker you’ll progress. With a wide and stable outline and lots of buoyancy, a longboard surfboard is the best beginner surfboard around.
Do foam boards have more volume?
A normal 6’0 PU board might have 30 liters while a 6’0 soft top might have 45 liters of volume. The more volume, the more float and buoyancy. Hence, a common saying in surfing is foam is your friend! In other words, extra volume will allow you to cover flat sections.
