The Ocean & Earth SSB Surf School Soft Board range features template shapes designed by former ASP world #5 Phil ‘Macca’ Macdonald, specifically aimed for performance and durability, for beginner and intermediate level surfers.
Just like standard surfboards, learn-to-surf boards need to be designed to maximise the surfer’s ability at any level. The SSB board has been computer shaped to create a high-performance board, which allows quicker progression in surfing ability in all age groups.
