What Surfboard to Buy for a Kid

Who are you:

• I need a surfboard for my kids to learn on

What are some of your biggest surfing challenges:

• Picking the right board for them
• Children grow fast and want to be cool - so getting it right but keeping them happy

What’s going to solve them: 

• You need enough floatation and stability
• You need a board that will last through their growth and progress as some kids learn fast

What's the best surfboard for a kid:

• Softboard - only if you only get to the beach a couple times a year and are price conscious. Softboards are the safest option to choose when your kid is learning to surf. Softboard are good for kids to try surfing for the first time to see if they will stick with it.
• Minimal Surfboards – these are the most stable board for learning on and can be passed on through the family. Kids can progress fast so smaller kids may want to move to a fish surfboard quickly.
• Fish Surfboard – our fish surfboards have extra volume and stability so are a great option for kids. Plus they look “cooler”. They can last a while as kids grow and progress.

What size board should I choose for a kid?

• Use the below table as a guide.
• Take the softboard if you are on a budget and will only get to the beach a couple times
• Take the fish you feel they will get a lot of time at the beach.
• Go for the minimal if you want a more stable option for them to get to their feet and have fun
• Only go for the softboard if you are on a budget and will only get to the beach a couple of times a year
