Performance Softboards, Foam Surfboards & Beginner Foamies

Get in the water with absolute safety, maximum buoyancy, and incredible fun with our extensive master collection of premium softboards at Southern Man Surf Shop. Operating as the South Coast’s trusted hardware hub since 1974, our physical warehouse in Ulladulla carries an elite assortment of foam surfboards from industry-defining brands like Mick Fanning Softboards, Ocean and Earth, Catch Surf, and Softlite. While soft-top surfboards have traditionally been labeled as pure learner craft, advanced modern construction techniques—utilising rigid internal stringers, slick skins, and real fiberglass fin boxes—have made them increasingly popular for experienced surfers seeking a high-performance option to shred shallow shorebreaks and weak summer waves.

For first-time riders and families looking to master the basics of paddling and standing up, choosing the right volume is critical. We recommend selecting a robust foamie template from 7’6 up to 9’1, as a wider outline caught more waves and provides rock-solid stability in the whitewater. These boards are incredibly durable, ding-resistant, and perfect for sharing among family groups during weekend beach trips along the coastline.
