Hello friends! In this blog we are going to talk about the brands of softboards or "corchopanes" that we have been using and testing at our Surf School in El Palmar . If you are thinking about purchasing a soft board for yourself, we recommend these brands that we have been testing over the last few years.

Softboards are an excellent option for beginner surfers or those who want to enjoy the waves more safely. Unlike shortboards, softboards have greater buoyancy and are more stable, making them ideal for learning to surf.

The soft boards we have been using most frequently are those from Flowt Surfboards , a Portuguese brand that has earned a solid reputation in the surf world for its high-quality, excellent-performance boards. After more than two years using them, we can recommend them without hesitation. They have two qualities, standard and premium, we opted for the premium option and they are magical boards with which you can catch all the waves and improve your technique considerably. They are very stable, easy to paddle and will allow you to dare with larger waves and guarantee a stable start.

In addition, its wide variety of models and sizes will allow you to choose the one that best suits your level. We recommend 7.6-foot softboards as a multipurpose board that you can use in both large and small waves, and that is easier to transport than an 8.0-foot board, for example. They also have a handle that will allow you to carry it comfortably.

Another brand that we have been using at our Surf School in El Palmar and that we really liked is Flysurf , a Chilean brand that has made a strong splash in Spain. It offers a wide variety of high-quality models, with innovative designs and advanced technology to guarantee the best possible surfing experience.

They also come in various sizes, are very stable and also come with a handle so you can easily transport them. Our favorite model and size is the 7.2 foot board, a sleek, very stable gray board that will allow you to paddle comfortably and stand up easily.

Finally, another brand of softboards that we have been testing and that we recommend are the Mick Fanning brand, designed by one of the best surfers in the world and which offer a combination of stability, speed and maneuverability that makes them ideal for beginner surfers. and advanced. Its shapes offer performance very similar to a fiber shortboard, but in a soft environment that will allow you to enter the water relaxed with the tranquility that corkscrews offer.

So now you know, if you are looking for a surfboard to enjoy the summer on the beaches of Spain, or even to hit bigger waves in winter, softboards are an excellent option. And if you are looking for quality, performance and innovative design, we recommend taking a look at the brands Flysurf, Flowt and Mick Fanning, which we can recommend without hesitation after having tried them.
