Hardtop surfboards<\/strong><\/p>\nHardtops are made of fiberglass or epoxy.<\/p>\n
Advantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- \n
Faster<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
More agile<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
More performance<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Disadvantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- \n
More sensitive<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Higher risk of injury<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Less forgiving<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you’re just starting out, we clearly recommend soft tops at the surf camp.
Later you can switch to hard tops as soon as your technique and safety are in place.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Anfaenger-Surfboardbilder-3.jpg” alt=”Beginner surfboards – colorful boards” title_text=”Anf\u00e4nger Surfboards – bunte boards” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

<\/span>Mini Malibu (6’6\u2033 – 8\u2032)<\/span><\/h2>\nThe perfect middle ground.<\/p>\n
\n- \n

<\/span>Longboard (9\u2032 and longer)<\/span><\/h3>\nThe most stable beginner surfboard.<\/p>\n
\n- \n
Extremely high buoyancy<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

Very easy to paddle<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

Ideal for small waves<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Attention:
Due to its length, it can “fly” further in the event of a fall.

Ankle Leash<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Approx. 7 mm thickness<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
