Why Choose Our Mini Mal Surfboards
The mini mal, also known as a funboard or mini malibu, usually sits between 7’0 and 8’0. That size range gives you useful length for paddling and stability, without feeling as bulky as a full longboard.
They’re known for being forgiving and also a great progression board. Wider outlines and generous volume help you get into waves earlier and stand up more easily, even when conditions are small, soft or a bit messy. Which, let’s be honest, is often.
They suit first-timers, returning surfers, families and intermediates who just want an easy, cruisy board that works.
At Natural Necessity, we stock mini mals in soft-top, epoxy and PU constructions from trusted brands like Torq Surfboards, Modern Surfboards, Ocean & Earth, Creative Army Surfboards and Softech.
