Soft Surfboards

Here at NCS we firmly believe that to get the most enjoyment from your time spent surfing you need to be on the equipment most suited to you. It cannot be stressed enough how important it is to start off on the right surfboard in order to embark on the steepest learning curve possible. Starting on inappropriate equipment will only serve to hold an individual back and could even put someone off surfing forever.

We believe that for a combination of safety and surfability you should look no further than an NCS softboard for your first forays into surfing. Not only do they provide a buoyant and stable board on which to start off on, they also go a long way to reducing the risk of injury during those tentative early days due to their soft construction.

In short, if you want to learn to surf then you need look no further than an NCS Softboard to provide the best and most cost effective route.

Our range of softboards provides something suitable for absolute beginners through to improvers and intermediates and can be used by the whole family.



NCS Softboards

Firmly established now as one of the top softboard suppliers, we have built a reputation for supplying quality learner boards at exceptional value combined with outstanding customer service.

A large proportion of our business is now as a result of recommendations by word of mouth which is great indication of customer satisfaction. We value the opinions of our customers and as a result of feedback from them all shapes have been made fuller and wider to make the boards more learner friendly. The boards have also been given new, more durable low profile fins, together with flexible bolts in order to reduce the amount of breakages and reduce any costly surfboard "downtime" as a result.

These changes are a direct result of customer feedback, something which we consider to be very important. This is an ongoing process and one which we feel is extremely important in ensuring that we provide our customers with the product they want and need.


Our softboards have been inspected by the British Surfing Association and comply with their specifications for safe learner use and we are also approved by the Irish Surfing Association.

The construction of the softboards is as follows:

  • High density closed cell polyethylene core. This will not absorb water should the outer skin be punctured.
  • XPE (Crosslinked Polyethylene Foam Sheet) soft wrap over the deck.
  • New for 2008 - Impact resistant PVC white slick bottom giving improved speed through the water.
  • Soft EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) rails which will protect both the user from injury and the board from damage.
  • Twin maple stringers
  • New for 2008 - moulded plastic leash attachment
  • 3 flexible yet durable, low profile fins designed to minimise the risk of injury and still be functional. Flexible fin bolts reduce the risk of breakages when boards are run up the beach (which they will be!).
  • Boards available 6', 7', 8', 9' & 10 lengths
  • Deck colours available are dark blue or yellow
  • Rail colours available are light blue.

Leashes can be supplied at very competitive prices, please ask for details
