Softech the Middie Surfboard Review: Best Soft Top Surfboard on the market?!
The best soft top surfboard I've tried up until this date by Softech surfboards, although it is a hybrid surfboard, the outsides of are all soft, but if you tap it you can feel the epoxy core inside.

Great beginner and intermediate mid length surfboard. A really nice mid length surfboard that would recommend to other surfers if they want to glide into a lot of waves and really smooth out their surfing. This surfboard is constructed in varial foam with a carbon lamination. If you feel like helping Namidan buy a coffee (or beer): buymeacoffee.com/namidan Fin Options: Machado Twin Keels: amzn....

Painting a Surfboard (Yellow Firewire Dominator 2): Beginner tutorial & painful lessons learned.

First time painting a surfboard and thought I'd do a tutorial based on the things I'd learned from doing it. Hopefully you can learn from my mistakes. Most important part I learned, if you decide to go this route of spray paint your surfboard, was the painting was the hardest part. Especially since the spray paint could act so finicky, with the coating and timings. If I were to re-do it, I woul...

When the waves get bigger you can put in the single fin and side bites, thruster, or twin trailer fin set up. Built in the responsive and strong thunderbolt red technology.

    color looks cool. FYI you can use different nozzles on the spray can to get much broader strokes that will blend in with each other. it's much more useful if you're trying to do some kind of fade than just doing single color, but would have helped here to reduce the streaks. final product still looks cool 👍
