FAQs

What is the recommended rider weight capacity?

Can I use this board in small white-water waves?

What are the exact dimensions of the board?

The board measures 8ft in length, 23.5 inches in width, and 3 inches in thickness.

Is this suitable for an absolute beginner?

How should I store the board?

Troubleshooting

Board feels slippery while surfing

Ensure the IXPE deck is clean of sand and organic debris; if the texture has worn down, you can apply a light layer of surf wax.

Fin feels loose during use

Check the mounting bolts on the bottom of the board and tighten with an appropriate fin key; avoid overtightening to protect the soft foam material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely stable platform for beginners
  • Soft-skin construction reduces impact risk
  • Versatile in both messy white water and clean waves
  • High buoyancy makes paddling effortless
  • Designed for rapid skill progression

Cons

  • Large dimensions can be difficult to manage in high winds
  • Heavier than traditional hard boards
  • Not intended for advanced high-performance maneuvers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your SSR board stays in peak condition, always rinse it with fresh water after use, particularly after exposure to saltwater. Avoid leaving the board in direct sunlight for extended periods, as prolonged UV exposure and extreme heat can cause the foam skin to delaminate or bubble. When transporting, ensure the board is secured properly to rack pads using soft straps to avoid pressure dings. The soft fin system is designed to be user-friendly, but periodically check that the fin bolts are snug before heading out into the surf.
