Technical Specifications

- Size: 51"
- Deck: Double-layered PE skin (water-resistant & grippy)
- Bottom: 1mm HDPE slick with hex mesh
- Core: High-density EPS with bamboo stringers
Designed for Young Learners 🤗
Perfect for riders up to 55 lbs, the wider mid-section and tail provide extra stability to make balancing and standing up easier. Added volume increases buoyancy, helping kids paddle, catch, and ride waves with confidence.
3 Boards in 1 🏄
Use it as a soft-top surfboard, kneeboard, or remove the fins to convert it into a bodyboard. This versatile design lets kids progress at their own pace while staying safe and comfortable.
Safe & Parent-Friendly 👍🏻
Soft removable fins are ideal for shallow water learning and easy to install with a coin. The included surf leash with rail saver keeps the board secure and protected.
Premium Construction ☝🏻
The double-layered PE deck is water-resistant, soft, and grippy for beginner confidence. The lightweight EPS core is reinforced with bamboo stringers for added strength and long-term durability.
The 1mm HDPE slick bottom with hex mesh delivers smooth glide, durability, and improved speed across the wave face.

Frequently Asked Questions 🤔
Who is this board for?
Younger learners up to 55 lbs. At 4'3" (51") it has a wider midsection and tail for stability, which makes balancing and popping up easier, and it comes ready to ride out of the box.
Can it really be used three ways?
Yes. It works as a soft-top surfboard, as a kneeboard, or — with the fins removed — as a bodyboard. One board a child can keep growing into rather than outgrowing three.
What is it made of?
A double-layered PE skin deck that is water-resistant and grippy, a high-density EPS core with bamboo stringers, and a 1mm HDPE slick bottom with hex mesh.
What is included?
The board, soft removable fins that fit using a coin, a surf leash with rail saver, and a padded carry bag with backpack straps made from RPET.
What is RPET?
RPET is recycled polyester, made from post-consumer plastic bottles. It gives the same strength and water resistance as new polyester while keeping plastic out of landfill.
Are the fins safe for children?
Yes. They are soft and flexible, chosen for shallow-water learning, and they fit with a coin so no tool is needed.
What does the Right Choice Promise cover?
Every board is covered for 12 months. If something goes wrong in that time, we will replace it at our cost or refund you in full — your choice — and you will not need to send the board back.
Do you ship to my country?
