SOFTLITE SURFBOARDS Pop Stick 5’6′ Thruster

SOFTLITE SOFT SURFBOARDS POP STICK 5’6″ THRUSTER

Whether it’s your grommet’s first board or you need a high performance piece of foam to keep your wave count up through Summer, the new 5’6 Pop Stick will get the job done!

Softlite have updated the shape of the 5’6 a bit this year. It’s got a slightly higher widepoint creating a bit of extra volume up front for paddle power, stability and just generally milking it on the small days. They’ve also kept plenty of surface area through the tail for a bit of extra drive and a nice rounded tail that won’t hinder your top to bottom surfing if your that way inclined.

Softlite thinned it out a touch, added a stringer, and combined with the new fin system, this thing is a weapon. Don’t believe us? Check out Perth ripping in the clip below!

For the beginner to intermediate rider, these boards are a good step when progressing from a Mini Mal, or when the goal is to ride a fibreglass shortboard.

For the experienced rider, these boards have a little bit more rocker, making them more suitable for better wave conditions, and similar in performance to their usual shortboard.
