Which type of surfboard should you choose based on your profile?

Wave conditions change and your surfing evolves. That’s why we’ve selected a wide variety of shapes to help you build the perfect quiver.

To push your limits: Performance Boards
If you’re looking for speed, control and responsiveness in hollow waves, check out our selection of high-performance surfboards. These are the ultimate shortboards for experienced surfers who want to string together radical manoeuvres.
To maximise summer fun: Summer Boards & Mid-Lengths
When the waves are a bit lacking in power, there’s no question of staying on the shore. Our summer boards and mid-lengths offer the perfect balance between volume, paddling comfort and manoeuvrability. Ideal for gliding in style on small to medium summer waves.
For classic riding and ease: Longboards & Mini-Malibus
Do you enjoy smooth lines, noseriding, or simply want an accessible ride? Our longboards and Mini-Malibus are perfect for catching as many waves as possible, getting started with confidence, or perfecting your technique on long turns.
For safe fun: Softboards (Foam boards)
Essential for beginners and children, but also highly prized by experienced surfers for summer shorebreak sessions, our softboards combine generous volume with safety. Pure, stress-free fun.
The smart, eco-friendly choice: Our second-hand
surfboards The second-hand market is full of hidden gems. By choosing our second-hand surfboards, you’ll benefit from boards that have been thoroughly checked by our experts at very attractive prices. An excellent option for trying out a new shape without breaking the bank!

Essential accessories to complete your kit

Having the right board isn’t everything: choosing the right surf accessories is crucial for optimising your board’s performance and surfing safely.

Tailor your riding style with the
right FCS 2 or Futures Fins, in Thruster, Twin or Quad set-ups… Your fins radically change how your board handles. Remember to adjust your fins according to your build and the day’s conditions.
Never lose your board thanks to a sturdy
leash. The safety leash is your lifeline in the water. Discover our range of robust and comfortable leashes, suited to the size of your board (from technical shortboards to longboards).
Protect your investment with a suitable
cover. Car journeys, travelling or storage in the garage can often be damaging to the gelcoat and resin. Give your gear effective protection with our surfboard covers (lightweight sleeves or padded travel covers).
Personalise your board with a grip of your choice. Discover our selection of grips for all types of boards.
