About this softboard
The Summer vibes Mini Mal Softboard is an easy-paddling cruiser for kids, beginners and relaxed surfers who want stability without feeling stuck on a slow learner board. It catches waves early, feels forgiving underfoot and keeps the session fun.
Ideal rider weight
- 6'6": 50-70 kg
- 7'0": 55-75 kg
- 8'0": 65-85 kg
Size up if you’re between sizes.
The 6'6" suits groms and lighter riders moving past their first board. The 7'0" suits lighter adults, teens and anyone progressing past their first board. The 8'0" has the extra float and stability that most adult beginners want. Whichever size you pick you get a soft deck, a stiff hybrid core with laminated wood stringers, and fins included with FCS Compatible boxes for an easy upgrade later.
