Foamies, foam surfboards, soft top surfboards, whatever you call them, they are great and there’s been a revival of them over the last decade or so. However, there is still this stigma around these surfboards, that with any new surfer trying to improve their surfing, they are desperate to get off of them, like there is some unspoken graduation when you stop riding them or a secret shame for still riding them. Or that all of a sudden surfing will change when you get off them. This guide is going to walk through everything you need to know about riding a foam surfboard, when to upgrade, if you should still ride them after upgrading and if you aren’t a beginner, how you can use them to help work on some technique.

When it comes to trying to improve your surfing, there will come a time, maybe before you even start, when you ask yourself shouldn’t I just surf more? Or this comes from someone else shrugging it off, saying just go surf more and you’ll get better. But if you don’t know how to improve, what good surfing should feel like and how to work through those movements, how do you expect to figure it out? Trial and error? It ends up with many surfers feeling frustrated and stagnant in their surfing.

Angling the take-off, do you do this already or is this something you want to learn and be better at? Or is this something you are guilty of messing up, either letting the wave race by without you or you end up so far out on the shoulder that you completely miss the wave and any good sections? Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced surfer, there is nuance and a need to figure out the best line you can take to set up the rest of the wave. There are times when to do it and times when not to do it or more, when not to overthink it. It’s all about how to set up that first section and relies heavily on reading the wave and observing what the wave wants to do. There’s no one solution or angle that fits all and your board will also play a big part in the lines you take as well.

What the hell is style? We all want to look more stylish when we surf, even if we don’t admit it. Surfing with more style is on more people’s wishlists than high-performance surfing or big waves. Style is seen as having fun, being creative, individuality and expression on the blank canvas of a wave. So why is this pursuit of style or trying to surf with more style so hard to figure out? Well, there’s the problem in itself, most surfers, know good style when they see it. It looks good, it makes you feel something, often in us saying “phwoar! look at that!” But when it comes to trying to surf with more style, the average surfer looks more like a headless chicken flapping their limbs wildly or they are in serious pain than anything that looks good.
