8′ x 23.5″ SSR Beginner Softboard Surfboard

8' x 23.5" x 3"- Volume 77.25L

Developed through extensive testing and real-world use over a number of years in UK surf schools, our SSR softboard range really is the toughest beginner soft top surfboard on the market. We take on board feedback from instructors and outdoor centre managers each year to perfect the design and manufacture of these surfboards so they have the highest quality and durability, while also of course being easy to learn to surf on!

8ft is a good length for adults and kids to enjoy so is a versatile length for a family surfboard. This is the regular width which is more manageable for smaller adults and kids than the wide version which is designed for larger adults.

These Softboard Surfboards benefit from the same solid construction as our regular surfboard range but with thicker glass fibre and added reinforcement on the rail, deck and bottom. Our Beginner Softboard Surfboard shapes are designed with a performance edge to enable the learner to improve quicker by catching more waves. This is a perfect board for the whole family to learn to surf on. The carry handle makes it easier to carry down to the beach and sea, while the soft IXPE textured skin provides grip and a softer landing if you should fall on it.

These boards are individually laminated and finished by hand to exacting standards. They are a premium product and constructed from the best materials available to the industry. Our boards are NOT built from a mould or 'pop-out' which means we produce a product superior in durability and strength to weight ratio.

Add in a 8ft leash to keep your board with you in the water, and tough surfboard bag to protect it in storage and on your car or van roof.
