Start your surfing journey with the range of softboards from Natural Necessity. Whether it’s for a young gun heading out into the water for the first time, a surfing newbie struggling with the weight and handling of a hard-top board, or a beginner who can only get down to the beach occasionally, a softie is the perfect first board. Take a look at the full range of softboard surfboards in our online store today, and find the board that will take you from absolute beginner to riding your first barrel.

Foam surfboards designed for maximum fun

Soft surfboards, also known as soft tops or softies, are more lightweight and forgiving for new riders, preventing any gnarly injuries to you or others thanks to their softer and rounder profiles. The foam core also makes soft top surfboards more buoyant, so they’re easier to paddle with and catch waves. In general, softboards don’t need waxing because their surface has a lot more grip, although you’ll probably want to grab a wetsuit to protect yourself from friction.

Discover softboards from the best brands

If you thought softboards meant basic or simple, think again. Whether it's good vibes of Catch Surf, the flawless engineering of FCS or the classic shapes and designs of Ocean and Earth softboards, our soft top surfboard brands prove there are plenty of options to customise your foam surfboards experience to suit you. Check out the fresh shapes from Go Softboards, Hayden Shapes, Mf Softboards, SOftech or Softlite.

Looking for a beginner’s softboard? Get into the weird uniqueness of Wollongong-based newcomers Drag Board Co, or invest in the planet with 7 ft or 8ft soft foam surfboard from Spooked Kooks — these are made using 100% recycled post-consumer plastic waste.

No matter which softboard you choose, you’ll love the fun and performance that our range of softies delivers.
