Softboards for beginners

A softboard is a type of surfboard covered with a layer of soft foam on top, which reduces the risk of injury in the event of falls or impacts. They are wider, thicker and more stable than conventional boards, making them ideal for those who are just starting out in surfing.

  • Material: Their surface is made of EVA foam or similar materials, which makes them safer.
  • Buoyancy: They have a high volume, which makes paddling and stability when standing up easier.
  • Shape: They are usually wider and longer (between 6 and 9 feet), which provides greater control and maneuverability in small waves.
  • Fins: In most models, the fins are made of rubber or flexible material to avoid cuts and accidents.


Softboards are the best option to start surfing thanks to their stability, buoyancy and safety. They are perfect for beginner surfers and children. Although they have some limitations in maneuverability and speed, they are a great choice to learn and have fun in the waves in complete safety.

If you’re looking for a board to get started without any complications, a softboard is the ideal option. All you need is the desire to surf!

Hardboards

A hardboard is a rigid surfboard made from materials such as fiberglass, epoxy, or carbon. They are lighter and faster than softboards, allowing for more precise, advanced maneuvers. They are the ideal choice for more experienced surfers looking to improve their technique and performance in the water.

  • Material: Generally made from polyurethane foam (PU) or expanded polystyrene (EPS), coated with fiberglass and resin. There are also epoxy and carbon versions.
  • Less volume than a softboard: This makes them more agile and faster, although they require better technique.
  • Greater maneuverability: They allow for tighter turns and advanced maneuvers such as aerials, snaps, and cutbacks.
  • Variety of shapes: There are models adapted to different types of waves and surfing styles.


They are ideal for intermediate or advanced surfers looking to improve their technique, for those who have already mastered a softboard and want better performance, for lovers of carving and fast maneuvers and for surfers who want to specialize in a specific style (shortboard, longboard, fish, etc.).

Longboards Tables

The longboard is a type of long surfboard (usually 3 meters or more) that offers great stability and ease of paddling. It became popular in the 50s and 60s, and today it remains a timeless surfing style. It is ideal for surfers of all levels and perfect for small or medium waves.

  • Size: They measure between 9’0” and 12’0”, which provides great buoyancy.
  • Shape: They are wide and have a rounded nose, which makes it easier to slide on the wave.
  • Stability: Due to their large volume, it is easier to stand up and control the board.
  • Ease of paddling: Being large, they allow you to catch waves with less effort.


Types of Longboards

  • Classic (Traditional Longboard): Designed for fluid, stylish surfing and walking on the board.
  • High-Performance Longboard: Narrower and with more rocker, allowing more radical maneuvers.
  • Hybrid Longboard: A combination of classic and high-performance, versatile and adaptable to different conditions.


The longboard is the perfect board for surfers looking for fun, fluidity and style in the water. It is ideal for beginners due to its stability, but also for advanced surfers who want to perfect noseriding and classic surfing. Although it is not the best option for radical maneuvers or extreme conditions, its ease of catching waves and the sensation of gliding over the water make it one of the most iconic and enjoyable boards in surfing.

Bodyboard

Bodyboarding is a wave-riding sport with a shorter and more flexible board than surfing. It can be practiced in three main styles:

  • Prone: Lying on the board.
  • Dropknee: With one knee on the board and the other leg extended.
  • Stand-Up: Standing, similar to surfing (although less common).


Bodyboarding is more accessible than surfing, as it allows you to catch waves more easily and is safer for beginners.

Advantages of Bodyboarding

  • Easy to learn: Ideal for beginners, as less balance is required than in surfing.
  • More accessible: The boards are cheaper than surf boards and can be used in different types of waves.

  • Maneuverability: It allows radical turns and maneuvers in hollow waves.
  • Versatility: It can be practiced in small or large waves, depending on the level of the rider.


Bodyboarding is one of the most accessible and fun ways to enjoy the waves. It is ideal for all ages and levels, allowing you to surf from small waves to impressive tubes.

A surfskate is a type of skateboard designed to simulate the movements of surfing on asphalt. Thanks to a front axle with a greater turning range, it allows for fluid turns and pumping similar to those of surfing.
