Kids Surfboards
The best value commercial quality softboard on the market. Yes this price is right- we sell at wholesale prices direct to you. These are commercial boards built with quality components.
Why do surf schools teach on a soft surfboard? Because they are highly buoyant which makes them easier to stand up and catch waves and they are made of soft foam so if you happen to hit yourself on the board then the soft material will minimize your injuries. They are stable on the water due to the wide dimensions enabling a new surfer to stand up easier than a fiberglass surfboard which has less buoyancy”.

Construction Features of Kids Surfboards
The core and components that make up a softboard are vital to the strength and durability of a board. Although you can’t see the inside of a board you should realise the importance on performance and quality.
- EPS Core –There are 2 important elements to a CMP softboard and why these are sold to surf schools as a high quality commercial board 1) A waterproof 22kg EPS Foam Core Blank makes up the centre of the board. This is light weight and top quality foam. 2) Two Timber Stringers coated in Fibreglass reinforced by two layers of 6oz fibreglass sheeting over the standing area of the board making it ultra-tough and adding flex to the board.
- Vacuum Sealed Construction – The production process of combining the layers whilst under pressure in a sealed bag is called vacuum sealed. The layers bond together under the pressure. This method provides the highest softboard quality, reinforcing the boards strength and offering a waterproof bond. Never ever purchase a heat laminated softboard as these are low quality boards and will more than likely delaminate very quickly. A vacuum sealed softboard is more expensive to manufacture than heat lamination, but this vacuum sealed method makes these boards strong and able to withhold large volume of use so they last the distance. This production technique is only ever used in high end soft top boards and is vital to a quality softboard.
- High Density Slick and Deck – The bottom of the board is a 4 mm HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) Slick. Being a commercial board it is important to have a thick slick which is strong and durable. The boards deck is a 4 mm IXPE foam surface offering a light weight and soft top to the board for traction and durability.
- Soft Rails– Our Rolled PE Soft Black bumper rails offer a softer shaped rail which is tapered and offers a more forgiving ride. This soft bumper rail is vital to the quality of a softboard and enhances the strength and impact of a board.В? When choosing a board make sure that a board has a soft bumper rail.
