Please note that Softlite boards don't include leashes. Here are 7ft leg ropes that would suit this board. https://www.hyperride.co.nz/products/category/273/leg-ropes-leashes?pgSort=price&sizes=1202
The Koolite is the ultimate beginner board, and is perfect for the early stages of learning to surf. Like our popular Chop Stick and Test Tube shapes, the Koolite uses a rounded Mal shape for some extra surface area, but the main difference is that we've given the Koolite some extra thickness to bump up the volume. This basically means it has a lot more float making it even more stable, and easier to paddle. This will help you stand up in even the smallest and weakest of waves.
As its one of the bigger boards in our Range, this year we've added a carry handle to the Koolite, to make it that little bit easier to get to and from the water!
Like all the other Softlite Boards, the main features found on these boards are:
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.
Core:100% Waterproof Moulded EPS Core
Deck: 8lb PE Deck
Slick: Xtra Duralinx Slick
Reinforcements: Double Bamboo Stringer Re-inforced with Fibreglass Taping
Features: Edge Trim System, Exoskeletal Strength Membrane, Leash Plug
Fins: Thruster Fin Set Up with Bones and Shanks Fin System. Fins Included with Every Board

- 7'0" X 22 1/4" X 3 1/4" (68L) - Beginners between 55-75kg
SOFTLITE
Now you've been convinced to get a softboard, there's a few reasons why we think our boards are the best! Best Shapes - Each shape has created in collaboration through professional Surfers and Shapers. Not only this, but in each model we feel as if we have achieved the perfect mix of stability and performance making them ideal for all levels of surfer. It also means you wont be left with a useless board if you improve quickly! Moulded Cores- 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 Softlite boards stiffer and more durable than competitors who use similar cores. No screws on deck - A recent Softlite innovation. No more kicking your toes on deck screws. Not only that, it looks good (like a real surfboard) and makes it much easier to wax deck. Bones and Shanks Fin System - A huge innovation towards increasing Softboard performance levels. This system makes super quick and easy to install and remove fins. This fin system is also compatible with other fin two tab systems, allowing you to change your fins to suit conditions or alter board performance. Many riders take advantage of this by using harder fins as the improve or if they are more experienced. Bamboo Stringer System - Our own stringer system. Bamboo Stringers are Re-enforced with fibreglass sheeting and epoxy resin to give the perfect amount of flex. This also helps to protect stringers from rotting and weakening. This is an extremely common issue in cheaper brands using wooden stringers! Colour Range - We pride ourselves on having the best range of colours on the market. Plenty of bright combos for summer, and also a few toned down ones for those who wish to fly under the radar! A BOARD THERE FOR EVERYONE!
