Designed by master shaper Jeff Townsley specifically for surf schools and rental operations, the Circle One SSR 9ft Softboard is an ideal platform for beginners and intermediate riders seeking maximum stability and ease of progression in British wave conditions. Its high-volume construction provides exceptional buoyancy, though its larger size may require more storage space and careful handling compared to high-performance shortboards.

Yes, it is specifically designed for surf schools, offering the stability and buoyancy required for first-time surfers.
While the IXPE foam skin is durable, it is not indestructible. Always avoid dragging the board over rocks or sharp coral to protect the bottom skin.
With 86.6L of volume, the board easily supports riders of various weights, providing a stable platform for adults and larger teenagers.
Yes, the board features a standard thruster fin setup, which is included with the purchase.
Store it in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Ideally, store it flat or vertically on its side rather than its tail to avoid compression damage.
Check the fin screws and tighten them using a standard fin key; ensure the fin base is fully seated in the box.
Apply a fresh coat of surf wax specifically designed for foam boards, or ensure the IXPE deck is free of oily residue.
Use a flexible waterproof adhesive or specialized foam repair kit to seal the tear, preventing water absorption into the core.
To ensure the longevity of your SSR softboard, rinse the deck and fin boxes with fresh water after every session to remove salt and sand. Store the board out of direct sunlight to prevent foam delamination or fading. For setup, insert the thruster fins into the provided slots until they click or are secured by the appropriate fin screws. When transporting, always use the integrated carry handle, and ensure the board is secured properly to roof racks using padded straps to prevent crushing the soft foam rails.
