Koolite 8'0" Softboard

8'0" X 22 1/4" X 3 3/4"

85L

The Softlite Koolites are the ultimate beginner board. They use a rounded Mal shape (Similar to our Chop Stick Range) for some extra surface area, and we've given them some extra thickness to bump up the volume further. This makes the Koolite paddle fast and extremely stable, so it's ideal for the early stage of learning.

We'd recommend the Koolite 8'0 for a 75kg -100kg Beginner surfer.

On a recent overseas trip, we wanted to find some beginner waves to show how easy this board is to surf, but unfortunately, we couldn't find any. So instead you should probably watch Dan Brown aka Mullet Lord ripping on the Koolite 7'0 in the clip above. While the waves were good, conditions were super tough, and the extra paddle power came in handy!

Why Softlite?

The boards are constructed using exclusive Softlite Moulds - This ensures that every board comes out identical with no imperfections. It also creates a harder shell of EPS foam on the outside making Nalu boards stiffer and more durable than competitors who use similar cores.

Bones and Shanks Fin System - Easy to install and remove fins. Compatible with other fin two tab systems, allowing you to change your fins to suit conditions or alter board performance

Bamboo Stringer System - This is re-enforced with fibreglass sheeting and epoxy resin to give the perfect amount of flex. Since implementing this stringer system we have had had barely any boards snap!
