SOFTOPS and TUFLITE Boards
SOFTOPS ARE HIGH-PERFORMANCE EPOXY SURFBOARDS FEATURING THE DECK AND RAILS WRAPPED IN E.V.A. FOAM RUBBER.
Designed to fill the gap between sponge boards (which offer safety but lack performance) and fiberglass boards (which offer performance with little safety and poor durability), SOFTOPS blend performance, safety and durability. Their unique epoxy/fiberglass construction gives SOFTOPS a stiffness that helps them outperform sponge or soft surfboards. And their E.V.A. foam-rubber deck-and-rail combination gives you extra safety, comfort and traction without wax. SOFTOPS are used in surf schools worldwide. Their performance and safety qualities make them the first choice by many pro surfers for their own surf schools. SOFTOPS perform for beginners as well as for the pros. They've been welcomed by advanced surfers and have even been used in competition. They hold their good looks, too - the SOFTOPS ding resistance has made them a reliable alternative for travelers. Whether you're a veteran surfer or a beginner looking for your first board, one of the 12 SOFTOPS sizes available is sure to fit your needs. From the performance-oriented 5'6" to the Super Glide 12' model, you won't find a better value - or better performer - on the market.
SOFTOPS Performers feature a inlaid deck of EVA rubber and traditional hard rails. Offering you all the performance of a state of-the-art epoxy board with a soft deck.
TUFLITE
Randy French has been at the forefront of pushing surfboard design for over thirty years and has never relented in his quest for the next generation of surfboard manufacturing technology. Quite simply, Randy is a designer and saw futility in trying to replicate the same shape again and again. The mission was simple – invent a way to make surfboards stronger, lighter and faster with the ability to reproduce a precise shape over and over allowing Randy to spend more time designing new shapes. By utilizing new materials and new production processes, Tuflite technology was born. Ironically, like with the “Balsa to Polyester Revolution” of the 60’s, the naysayers were again out in droves – “it’s too light, buoyant and it will never catch on”. However, in the past decade, the list of the world’s best shapers that have embraced Tuflite technology continues to grow to the point where most top shapers have entire quivers available in Tuflite models. Tuflite – rewarding the shapers who created the culture we live and love.
