Softlite Soft Surfboard Features:

• Size: 6'0" X 21 1/8" X 2 3/4" (45L)
• Core: 100% Waterproof Moulded EPS Core 
• Deck: 8lb PE Deck
• Slick: Mesh Infused HPDE Slicks
• Reinforcements: Double Bamboo Stringers Re-inforced with Fibreglass Taping
• Fins: Thruster Set Up with Bones and Shanks Fin System. Soft fins included with every board.
• ROLLED PARABOLIC PE RAILS: This is one of the biggest advancement in soft surfboards. Each board contains 4 crosslink rails. These rails are then hand shaped, allowing softer rails near the nose tapering down to a sharp, harder edged rail at the tail. Similar to a regular shortboard, it allows if to be forgiving and not catch rails up front, but more performance and easier to turn off the tail. Similarly, to a stringer it also provides extra stiffness in the board. Previously, these features could not be properly executed properly on soft surfboard.
• MESH INFUSED SLICKS: This is technology derived from bodyboarding, who lead the way in using EPS / HDPE Slick combinations. The Reinforced mesh is infused into the Dura HD Slick. This provides a frame of strength, which not only improves stiffness but also recoil, so making it easier to pump from rail to rail with the right amount of tension.
• No screws on deck -No kicking your toes on screws, looks good and is easier to wax deck.

 

Do fins come with the soft surfboard?

• Yes. All softboards come with a pair of Soft Fins suitable for learning or to use between the flags. If you want to use hard fins, you will have to purchase these separately. Softlite Surfboards have a special Bones and Shanks Fin System that makes it quick and easy to install and remove fins. This fin system is also compatible with other fin two tab systems - many riders take advantage of this by using harder fins as the improve or if they are more experienced. 

Does the softboard come with a leash?

• No. Leashes need to be purchased separately. 

Do I need to wax my softboard?

• Yes, although they generally don't require as much wax as a fibreglass board. The soft surfboards can be a bit slippery when first taken out of the plastic, so a good wash off with fresh water and a decent coat of wax will help. After this, just a light coating every few surfs,  where your chest and feet go will suffice.
