The Mad Lab is a brand new model for Summer 2024/25.
It combines a hybrid construction style with a fun board template to create a premium soft board designed to suit most skill levels, and perform in a wider variety of wave conditions.
The Hybrid Construction takes favourable elements from both a Performance Fibreglass Boards & an Entry Level Softboard to create a board with a greater focus on performance, whilst still retaining the fun & safe characteristics of a softboard. In short, this allows us to create boards that are a little stiffer & thinner than regular softboards leading to increased speed and responsiveness.
The Funboard template is slightly more pulled in through the nose and tail compared to our Mini Mals, which once again makes it just that little bit more maneuverable for advanced riders or intermediates looking to progress. Similarly, this template is also suited to slightly higher-quality or steeper wave conditions as well.

Note on Comfort and Foam Deck Materials:
Soft surfboards are designed with foam materials, such as EVA foam rails or textured crocodile deck skins, for durability and performance. However, it’s important to note that these materials can sometimes cause rashes or shavings on the inner thighs of riders, especially during extended use.
This is a normal aspect of foam surfboard design and is not a defect. To ensure maximum comfort and prevent irritation, we recommend wearing protective surf gear, such as surf leggings, neoprene pants, or long johns/wetsuits. These are designed not only to keep you warm but also to provide a barrier against potential discomfort while riding.
We hope this helps you have the best experience in the water!
