Surfing

Surfing is one of, if not the most awesome experience imaginable. The feeling of riding a wave is fantastic. Learning to surf is a hugely enjoyable experience, but it is filled with hidden dangers, many of which are not in your control. The most common danger, and one that is under your control is your surfboard!

Surfboards

A typical late 20th Century surfboard is made of foam which has been shaped and coated in fibreglass.
A fibreglass surfboard is also extremely unforgiving when you, the rider and the board clash. Getting hit by your fibreglass board is a heavy price to pay for the joy of surfing. Not to mention your body's fragile reaction to such a accident, the fibreglass easily cracks or 'dings' leaving sharp edges and holes in which water can enter and weaken the surfboard's foam core. Then, there are the fins. A fibreglass surfboard's fin is extremely dangerous. Sticking out from the boards underside, an encounter with this can cut and seriously injure you, and anyone else the board hits.

Soft Surfboards

This is why a soft surfboard is the perfect way to surf, especially when you are learning. To learn on a soft board is the way to develop an understanding of the ocean, build on your confidence amongst the waves and have a whole lot of fun!
The rise in popularity of soft surfboards is a constant in the surfboard market. Many business people out for a 'quick buck' have flooded the shops with inferior soft boards in order to get a share of the business.

Liquid Shredder

Liquid Shredder Soft Surfboards are the perfect blend of a high performance 21st Century board and a safe, reliable and cost-effective soft board. The core of the board is cloned to a safe form, that will not only perform like the best but also will be safe when you want it to be. The production of Liquid Shredder boards is top notch and covers the problems apparent in most soft boards on the market. The patented design and manufacturing techniques also create a board that will last as long as any fibreglass, and perform better than any other softboard available.

  • Straight down the middle – a thick, Peruvian hardwood stringer for the strength and feel of the best fibreglass board.
  • The board looks just like a fibreglass board – their shape and finish is amazing when you compare them to the standard fibreglass boards, and the Liquid Shredder performs too – just check our videos.
  • The surface and core are made in a way that in the off chance that water gets inside, it can be removed simply and fast with no detrimental effect to the board and its core.
  • The boards don't ding, and any repair that might ever be needed is cheap and quick.
  • The board turns and handles awesomely with rails that are perfectly copied from current fibreglass boards.
  • This gives it a feeling like no other softboard – you would swear it was a fibreglass board!
  • If your board gets away from you, if you accidentally lose it heading towards anyone else in the water, if it's coming down on you in your biggest wipeout of the year ... no worries. With the vinyl covering, the flexible fins, the built in nose guard and super light construction, safety is number one!

As you know I have several of your new boards for my surf school UCANSURF on the South Coast NSW. I have had some very good surfers, in some not very nice conditions and some beginners in small conditions use your boards and have nothing but rave reports. I have used the 7 5 and 8 2 on 7 foot faces and they both performed very well. The boards are fast across the water and turn exceptionally well. ...  Tony Chapman, UCANSURF
