The Minimal – Perfect for Learner Surfers
The minimal surfboard, often referred to as a “mini-mal,” has gained significant popularity among beginner surfers. Its stable friendly design is the starting point for most Surfers new to the sport. Typically ranging from 7 to 8 feet in length the Minimal strikes a perfect balance between stability and maneuverability. Precisely making it ideal for learner surfers who are just starting to catch waves.
With its broad surface area, the minimal allows for easier wave catching and paddling, helping newcomers become confident in the water. At the same time, its versatility and ability to perform in a variety of wave conditions make this surfboard the ideal choice when starting out.
Refining our Minimal Design
Over the past few years, we have had the privilege of working closely with local surf schools to develop and refine our Minimal Surfboards. Testing and Re-Testing with genuine Learner surfers, taking into account there specific needs. Through hands-on feedback and collaboration with instructors and students alike, we’ve fine-tuned the design to ensure it provides maximum stability, wave-catching ability, and ease of use. This tailored approach has led to the Minimal Surfboard becoming incredibly popular in the North East, where its versatility shines in the region’s unique wave conditions.
Minimal Surfboard Features
First up lets talk construction. We like to build learner surfboards with a thicker than standard fiberglass. Obviously you are going to fall and damage the board and your going to ride it into the beach at some point. However i built these boards to be tough. They should withstand most wear and tear Learner surfers put them through.
The board features a nice single to double concave bottom with quite thick but shortboard style rails. It has a nice even foil throughout the board with even distribution of volume so that it glides in the surf. I deliberately did not overdo the volume on this board though as i find it can impede your progress.However you can custom order it with as much volume as you like.
