Hard Skin Versatile Softboard

With the “Puffy Puffin” pool and- river surfboards we offer a board line for beginners and intermediate level surfers. These boards are made by hand from extremely durable materials, so they are also a very good choice for surfers of all skill levels on waves with particularly high material wear (e.g. Floßlände Munich & Dreamwave waves in Nuernberg and Hannover).

The construction, board geometry and fin setup were developed specifically for the requirements of pool & river surfing and satisfy he highest demands. The shapes are all derived from our performance hardboards.

The Shapes

The development is based on 20 years of experience from shaping performance hardboards for standing waves. We have chosen the outline and rocker line so that the boards offer an optimal compromise between performance and stability. A little extra nose rocker make the boards more forgiving of riders mistakes. The shapes cover a very wide range of use and are suitable for waves of “weak”, “medium” or “powerful” classification, depending on the body weight of the surfer.

The Construction

The softboards come with an HDPE top and bottom layer combined with shaped, extra soft and durable PE rails. This makes a ride that comes close to hardboards, while the rails are particularly robust against impacts. The board features a double multilayer composite / wood stringer in combination with a 100% waterproof X-Density EPS core. In our opinion, this is the best softboard construction on the market without additional fiberglass laminates.

The fin setup can be configured as a twin, as a twin + small center fin or in the thruster setup. For the best performance, we recommend riding the board with hard side fins and a small center fin. For beginners we recommend riding the board with the included soft fins.

Instead of laminated fin boxes we use “through the deck” softfin FCS I plugs. These can be equipped with soft fins, composite fins or fiber reinforced fins. If a fin box gets damaged, it can be replaced with a few simple steps.

The Range of Use

We have already tested the Puffy Puffin Shape on most important, pool & riverwaves.
