About this softboard
The Hard Core Discus is a midlength that paddles easily, catches waves early and lights up when the surf has some push. Its Slick construction adds an HDPE slick bottom to the vacuum-bagged epoxy core for less drag and more speed down the line. Available in 6'6" and 7'6" with Futures thruster fin boxes.

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. Premium FCSII-compatible fins are optional performance choices for surfers who want more hold, drive and response.
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.
