Thurso Surf softtop Fish Board

A soft-top long board (7 -to 8 ft long) is recommended for beginners but a long board can be a bit heavy. It is popular among some high performance surfers in the nitro-small-wave hotdogger range. It can be the strong and responsive hdpe slick bottom (heat laminated) adds stiffness and maximizes board speed. The tail will slide out very easily when you load the fins.

This foam board is on little shorebreak waves. The board is top and bottom, making it strudier than regular glued surfboards. These are beginners and this board floats really well and it's very stable due to the width. It comes with plastic fins to add to that it is great for crowded beaches.

• Very durable and great for crowded beaches
• Absolutely a good purchase for a kid with some athletic ability
• Bad for any high performance surfing, hard pumps, cutbacks, bottom turns with speed
• Great for beginners and very sturdy

rock It softtop Fish Board

Buy on Amazon

The rock it softtop fish board should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. The rubber fins make it really skatey and you can't drop in on steep waves, but anywhere from 2' to head high is great. At under 6', it is small enough for them to paddle and carry to and from the water, yet provides plenty of buoyancy and is easy and safe to use with the soft material construction and flexible soft fins. It is coated with an epoxy nano-coating to resist water absorption, then surrounded with a proprietary eps foam and a color-fast & uv resistant soft top layer. It can carry them up the beach and paddle them out.

The Fins are flexible and soft, but they are quite functional. It will be able to duck dive with some practice. The rounded front end is well suited to river surfing.

• Fun little addition to the quiver
• Goes really fast, catches waves easy and it doesn’t hurt if it hits you
• Good investment for long term
