What Are The Best Soft Boards in Australia?

Posted on
what are the best soft boards in australia?

There’s a tonne of foam surfboard companies from around the world that we cover here at Get Foamie, but not all are easy to come by in the land down under. As such, we thought it might be good idea for the Aussies’ sakes, to compile a guide for where you can find the best soft boards in Australia. 

If you are looking for soft surfboards, this guide looks at 5 of our favourite foamie brands which are generally readily available in Australia.

1 Catch Surf
2 Softech
3 Softlite
4 Mick Fanning Softboards
5 Spooked Kooks

Catch Surf

catch surf australia

We’ve reviewed a few Catch Surf boards and they are definitely one of the biggest soft surfboard brands in the world, out of the United States.

Luckily for us, they are available in Australia. Check out the full range available at Surfstitch HERE.

Catch Surf caters for all levels of surfer and you can find out about all the boards within the range HERE. You will notice that Catch Surf boards are particularly high volume (more so than the other brands in this guide) so that are super floaty. Some like that, some don’t.

Some of our favourite Catch Surf soft surfboards include:

  • Catch Surf Skipper – a high performance shape available in tri-fin or quad fin set. See our detailed hands on review HERE.
  • Catch Surf Plank – this topped out list for Best Soft Top Longboards, but is also available in smaller sizes (6′ – 9′).
  • Catch surf Log – check out our review here. 

You may also notice that Wave Bandit, a sub-brand of Catch Surf’s boards aimed more at learners, is available on Surfstitch here. Our pick of the Wave Bandits is the Wave Bandit Ezi Rider – A user friendly mini-mal / longboard perfect for learners or for experienced surfers looking for a fun cruiser to muck around on.

Spooked Kooks

spooked kooks australia

Another Australian company to round things out, and this one happens to be one of our favaourties. Not just because of Spooked Kooks awesome soft tops, but also because of their unique approach to building them.

Spooked Kooks utilize recycled plastic in many components of their foam surfboards currently collected in the Philippines (one of the most plastic waste impacted places on Earth).

They’ve got a sweet little collection of surfboard models – you can read more about them at our overview of the range here.

We’ve also reviewed the Spooked Kooks Dead Hippie 8’0 here.
