Thanks for your support! Full Write Up: http://bit.ly/SoftechFoamySoftboard Why should every surfer own a foamy / softboard? To surf between the flags of course! This is not a review but a general opinion of foamy surfboards, which are not technical craft. Great for kids. Great for beginner's. Great for surfing the best wave on the beach, which always happens to be in front of the lifesaving flags where normal surfboards are forbidden! In my opinion, selecting the right foam surfboard is simply a matter of colour and size preference. These are not technical craft, nor are they intended to be. This is the Softech Tom Carroll Signature Model foam surfboard review at Benny's Boardroom.

You can get a short foamy and shred small waves and do performance surfing on them. This is due how much volume they can carry. I would choose a foamy over a groveler any day, plus they are way cheaper than regular PU boards.

ZFilms - 5 years ago

They are also not fragile like a PU board.

Austin R - 8 years ago

Can you put wax on a foam board like you do on a fiberglass board?

ZFilms - 5 years ago

It is like a body board, yes you wax them

GoToHellHermen - 8 years ago

Some people do wax foam boards, it depends how much grip is has already i guess

Babaloo - 8 years ago

How much do you weigh Benny? I went out with the 6'6 model this past weekend and was struggling to get up with it. I'm 205 by the way. Loving the vids!

is a catch surf beater board considered a foamy? if so should i wax it? (sorry im really new to surfing)

Jasper van Loo - 8 years ago

+Sam Grabia to be honest, you shouldn't surf the beater when you are new to surfing, they are so wiggly sinds that float so much and are so short

Sam Grabia - 8 years ago

thank you bro

Javier Pizarro - 8 years ago

+Sam Grabia

Omar greig - 9 years ago

hi benny, i;m 28, 5'7'' 145 pound looking to buy a foamie to learn, i surfed just a handful of times years ago. i know they're not meant to be technical, but can you recommend a size?

Max Jax - 5 years ago

What did you get in the end? We're about the same size and weight

Chad Melanson - 10 years ago

Jasper van Loo - 8 years ago

+Chad Melanson calling everyone a kook is the kookiest thing you can do ;)

Hi Dave Scott, I'll have to ask the wife - it was a XMas pressie!

Alex Smith - 9 years ago

Hi Guys, Couple of questions on the subject of softies: I was given an ex-rental 8ft board with a bit of a bite taken off the back. Think its too big to try and fill and re-seal, so perhaps it would be better to square off the end and then seal, but does it matter if it comes right to the end of the middle fin? Also the fins seem pretty wobbly in their fixings .. does this matter and if so any way to make them more steady?

Dave Scott - 10 years ago

Hey Ben, Where did you purchase this board from?

Cub Nation - 10 years ago

hey benny, do you think you could use this for stand up paddle boarding or would it sink

CompareSurfboards.com - 10 years ago

It would sink! This is only a 6'0

Robert Moore - 10 years ago

Hi Benny, thanks very much for the review. However I know very little about boards and am looking for one for my son, and he likes this board. I came to this video expecting a review of this board as against other softie options. However I don't believe you reviewed this board in the video, but more was a general comment about softies in general ? Thanks again.

CompareSurfboards.com - 10 years ago

Hi Robert, I'm sorry if you didn't find the review helpful. As you say, it is more of a general review of soft boards because, in my experience, these are not technical craft but are geared for fun and learning. For your son, I recommend simply finding a soft board that he A) likes the shape & look of and B) is not too large or small.

I hope this helps you.

All the best,
Benny

Hello! First off I just want to say I love the videos. I recently found your channel and have been going through your videos like crazy. Anyway I was wondering if I could get some advice; I'm 6'2 and about 170 pounds and was looking to pick up a new FireWire Board. I've had a really rough time decided on a board and also having trouble figuring out a size that would work for me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and keep up the good work!

CompareSurfboards.com - 10 years ago

Hi Oopiknarf, thank you for watching and for your kind feedback - much appreciated!

Regarding sizing, I'll add a link in the description to an article entitled 'Know Your Volume, Catch More Waves.' This should help guide you towards a board that is the right size for you. Please leave a comment on that page if it was helpful to you!

All the best,
Benny

Frank Rossier - 10 years ago

What brand would you recommend for a hybrid board?

ZFilms - 5 years ago

Softech flash

CompareSurfboards.com - 10 years ago

Hi Frank, for a foam hybrid, the Softech TC Pro is pretty cool. Or the El Nino Twinino.

I hope this helps you!

Cheers,
Benny
