Warranty and care
A few things worth knowing
Clear answers on warranty, care, fins, wax and choosing the right softboard before you commit.
Construction and what is included
Summer vibes softboards are built with a forgiving soft deck, durable foam core, slick bottom and practical fin system made for everyday surf. Standard fins are included with every softboard.
Size guide and rider level
Use the size selector above to compare the available lengths, volumes and colours. Shorter softboards suit kids and lighter riders, while wider or longer models add paddle power, stability and confidence for beginners, families and surf schools.
What warranty does my softboard include?
Your Summer vibes softboard includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. Please inspect your board when it arrives and contact us quickly with clear photos if something looks wrong.
What is not covered by warranty?
Softboards are surf equipment, so impact damage, heat damage, creases, snapped boards, fin damage and normal wear from use are not covered. Avoid leaving your board in a hot car or direct sun for any time as this can cause the heat-laminated surfaces to delaminate (bubble). This can not be covered under warranty.
Are fins included?
Standard fins are included with your softboard. This model is best kept with its included fin setup, so premium FCSII options are not shown when they are not the right fit.
Does a softboard need wax?
Many riders use no wax, however a light coat of wax can help grip, especially once the deck is wet. Use our soft wax for a light coat.
What leash length should I choose?
Choose a leash at least as long as your board. The setup section above matches the closest available size and colour where possible.
Do I need a boardbag?
A boardbag helps protect your softboard from sun, storage marks, carpark scuffs and transport damage, while making the board easier to carry. We match the closest suitable boardbag in the setup section. Unfortunately Wider Riders and 9' models do not fit our boardbags, but all other softboards fit perfectly.
