Surf Hire
The Summer vibes x Seaside Ave limited edition Mini Mal 8' Softboard - Pink Blue 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 gliding 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.
For this LIMITED SPECIAL EDITION, we teamed up with Sadie @ Seaside Ave and added a her signature colour & logo to make a truly special (&limited) board..
Seaside Ave - INSPIRING MERMAID ADVENTURES
The Seaside Ave journey started in 2021 making handmade, coastal themed jewelry from shells collected during family camping trips.
It was during a van life trip up the East Coast of Australia in the Summer of 2023 that we discovered our snorkel masks were our most essential beach item, so we created our colorful range to inspire the mermaids to chase their adventures, create new experiences and share the fun.
We are all about beach swimming, ocean exploring, rockpool hunting, shell collecting and sunset chasing. Our priorities revolve around the sun, tide, sand and surf and as we discover new beach essentials, we will endeavor to create and share them with the Seaside Ave community.
Summer vibes softboards come with fins included, however the fin boxes are also compatible to upgrade with your FCS1 or FCS2 fins.
The 8' 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 8' is short enough to turn well but also long and floaty enough for extreme stability and glide... Out-paddle the crowd and smile!.
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.

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.
