Koolite 2.0 7'0
The Koolite 2.0 is an updated model for 2024. It is the ultimate beginner board, and is probably the easiest board in our range to learn to surf on.
We'd recommend this board for beginners up to 75kg.
The Koolite uses a rounded Mini Mal shape for some extra surface area, but the main difference to a lot of our other models 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 easier to paddle (you'll catch more waves) and more stable once up and riding.
In our 2024 update, we given the Koolite a slightly wider tail which provides extra stability, particularly in white water or smaller waves.
Comes with a carry handle for ease of transport, too!
Dimensions - 7'0 X 22 X 3 3/8" (67 Litres)
Please Note: We have updated to include Fin Boxes which screw through the deck - more durable!
*Fins are included
100% Waterproof Moulded EPS Core
This core provide unhindered strength and enhanced durability while retaining light weigh characteristics.
Softlite Boards are created from exclusively owned moulds. These have been created and refined through a collaboration of renowned surfboard shapers and team riders.
Using moulded cores allows for a tougher core and ensures all boards are consistently high quality with no imperfections.
10lb PE Deck skin
Each Softlite is encapsulated in a 10lb PE Deck skin for extra strength, durability and traction.
Xtra Duralinx Slick
A super High Density PE Slick Bottom for protection, speed and durability.
Bamboo X Epoxy Stringer System
Each Koolite Board Contains 2 x Stringers. Each Bamboo Stringer is re-enforced with Fibreglass Taping & Epoxy Resin to provide maximum strength.
Exoskeletal Strength Membrane
The ESM is a unique layer fused between the EPS Core and PE Deckskin. It increases durability and impact absorption, while also providing a high strength lamination between these two materials.
Tail Buffers
We use an extra layer of PE for increased impact absorption in heavy use areas.
Bones & Shanks Fin System
This fin system allows quick and easy fin installation and removal. It is compatible with other fin types so you can change fins to suit conditions or alter board performance.
It also allows a deck with no visible fin screws.

Sizing Tip - Its best to use your discretion here a little. Kids (they are often a bit more agile) or people with a bit of previous ocean experience are generally best suited to the higher end of the recommended weight scale. Adults or Complete learners are probably best suited towards the lower end of the weight scale.
