Soft Top Surfboards NZ — The Most Fun You Can Have in the Water

Ask any surfer what the most fun board in their quiver is, and more often than not the answer involves a soft top. Forgiving, fast to paddle, and genuinely fun in almost any conditions — soft top surfboards have gone from beginners' tools to a staple in every serious surfer's collection. At FlowState Surf + Sport, we stock one of the best ranges of soft top surfboards available in New Zealand, from trusted brands that have elevated the humble foam board into something genuinely special.

Perfect for Every Level Soft tops are the ideal starting point for anyone new to surfing. Their foam deck and rounded rails make them forgiving on wipeouts, easy to paddle, and quick to catch waves — giving beginners the confidence to progress faster and have more fun doing it. But don't let that fool you — soft tops are just as popular with experienced surfers who want a board that delivers pure, uncomplicated joy in small to medium beach break conditions.

The Brands We Stock Our soft top range includes some of the most respected names in the game. Mick Fanning Softboards brings world-class design credentials to foam construction — the Beastie and the Laura Enever Sun Beam are standout boards for surfers of all levels, while Creative Army, Ocean & Earth and FCS round out the range with reliable, value-driven options for beginners and groms.

We carry soft tops in a wide range of sizes from 6'0 to 9'6, covering everything from grom-friendly smaller boards right up to longer, more stable shapes ideal for first-timers and casual surfers who want maximum wave count.
