OCEAN STORM Softboard
Kingpin

You’re new to the world of surf and you’re looking for a board that is strong enough to use in all conditions, to share with friends and family and to keep for a very long time? The model KingPin is a very strong and long-lasting board. It has a foam core and two layers of fibre glass, with 3 wooden stringers and EVA bumper al around the board. This board is made for the bigger and heavier surfer that is looking for a strong and reliable board for every condition.

We can generally base our choice of board size by looking at weight and height of the surfer. If you are a beginner surfer and…

…weigh between
35kg and 55kg with a height between 140cm and 165cm, we suggest to take a board between 7’0’’ (standard or BigBoy) and 7’6’’ or 8’0’’.

…you weigh between 55kg and 65kg with a height between 160cm and 175cm, we suggest to take a board between 7’6’’ and 8’0’’ (standard or BigBoy)

…you weigh between 65kg et 75kg with a height between 170cm and 180cm, we suggest a board between 8’0’’ and 9’0’’

…you are heavier and/or taller than the above mentioned, we suggest a board between 8’0’’
(standard or Big Boy) and 9’0’’.

If you weigh more than average, we suggest to take the option Big Boy. It gives you a bit more volume on the same size.

If you weigh less than average, we suggest to choose the model Back to School or Start Up. They are slightly less heavy and strong than the KingPin and thus better and easier to transport.

If you are a more advanced surfer, you can choose a board that is slightly smaller (one size smaller) than the one suggested.
