Soft Boards
Learner boards for learner surfers.......
At Ollypop we like to offer products suited to your ability. If you're a learner then you need a learner board, its as simple as that. So many people new to the sport of surfing are given bad advice and sold inappropriate equipment. This is due to a combination of the purchaser wanting to be seen with a 'fashionable' board and the vendor being unwilling to advise them otherwise at the risk of losing a sale.
The consequences of this are that that the new surfer has to try and learn on completely unsuitable equipment and without the inherent safety features of a dedicated learner board.
So, we've teamed up with North Coast Surfboards (NCS) who provide excellent softboards tried and tested on these shores.
If you're not a learner but looking for a board, please check out our custom surfboards from Local Hero.

The construction of the boards is as follows:
- High density closed cell polyethylene/EVA core. This will not absorb water should the outer skin be punctured.
- XPE (Crosslinked Polyethylene Foam Sheet) soft wrap over the deck.
- ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) white slick bottom giving improved speed through the water.
- Soft EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) rails which will protect both the user from injury and the board from damage.
- Twin maple stringers give the board greater rigidity and strength.
- 3 flexible fins and screws designed to minimise the risk of injury and still be functional.
-
Leash attachment.
