Product Information
Full details
Designed for beginners and entry-level enthusiasts, this 170 cm surfboard from VD Home Furnishing offers a stable and forgiving ride thanks to its soft XPE construction and high-density foam core. It provides excellent buoyancy and shock absorption, making it an ideal choice for learning to surf or enjoying recreational time in the water, though its specific length and soft-top construction are best suited for smaller surf rather than large, competitive ocean waves.

FAQs
Is this board suitable for experienced surfers?
This board is specifically engineered for beginners. While it is fun for recreational use, advanced surfers may find the 170 cm size and material construction limiting.
Does the board come with everything needed to start?
Yes, it includes the surfboard, three thruster fins, and an ankle leash.
How should I store the surfboard?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the foam core and XPE skin.
Can I use this in a swimming pool?
While it can be used for flotation in a large pool, it is designed primarily for surfing in the ocean or calm beach environments.
What is the weight limit for this board?
The board is designed for standard recreational use; please ensure the user weight is appropriate for the buoyancy provided by a 170 cm foam board.
Troubleshooting
Board feels sluggish or slow in the water
Ensure the bottom surface is clean and free of debris or sand buildup.
Fins feel loose during use
Check that the fins are fully seated in the boxes and that no sand is preventing a tight fit.
Leash feels uncomfortable
Adjust the velcro strap for a snug but non-restrictive fit on your ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your board is straightforward: insert the three provided fins into the fin boxes on the bottom of the board until they click or sit securely. Attach the ankle leash to the designated plug at the tail of the board. To care for your board, always rinse it with fresh water after use to remove salt and sand. Store the board out of direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the XPE material from expanding or fading. Inspect the leash attachment point periodically to ensure there are no signs of wear.
