The Summer vibes Mini Mal 7' Softboard - Orange White is a premium board for surfers chasing performance, value, and a board suited to our Aussie conditions. Whether this is your first board to commence your surf journey, or a fun alternative craft for ripping on the sunny days, this board will keep you smiling all summer long.
Summer vibes softboards are built for premium performance - rigid enough to rip on big waves, yet soft enough to be safe and fun for the whitewash.
Our softboards come with fins included, however the fin boxes are also compatible to upgrade with your FCS1 or FCS2 fins.
The Mini Mal will ensure you catch the most waves and stay on your feet for the longest time with the biggest smile. It is a super stable wave catching machine and will ensure you are having the most fun in the line-up. The mid-length is short enough to rip but also floaty enough to out paddle the crowd.
Summer vibes softboards are manufactured by the same production partners used by leading softboard brands, including Mick Fanning Softboards, Ocean & Earth, Spooked Kooks and Torpedo 7. This ensures proven construction quality and durability currently trusted by thousands of happy customers across Australia.
As an independent, Aussie-owned brand, Summer vibes delivers this level of build quality without the heavy overheads of global brands — giving you genuine performance, durability and fun at a far more accessible price point.
Summer vibes is an independent, Aussie-owned, and surfer-run brand that is committed to performance, quality, and purpose-built products.

keep your gear fresh — a few simple habits
rinse after every surf. fresh water. a 60-second rinse saves gear for years.
dry in the shade, store cool. direct hot sun can delaminate darker boards. keep boards in their cover, flat or on racks — leaning on soft fins can warp them.
check your leash & fins often. look at the swivel, string and plug screws. a tired leash or a loose fin will ruin a good wave and can cost a lot more than a wipeout.
wax it right. base coat first, then top coat in small circles. when it gets grubby, strip it off with a wax comb (or park in the sun for 10 min) and start fresh.
