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 toward the lower end of the weight scale.

For 7-10 years old kids learners, we usually recommend a 6'6 Chop Stick or Pop Stick.

For adult beginners, the height of the rider would also have to be taken into consideration, if over 6'2 tall, we would recommend an 8ft Chop Stick or Pop Stick for example.

Softlite Chop Stick – The Ultimate Soft Top Mini Mal!

The Chop Stick is our take on the classic mal shape. It provides the perfect compromise stability and performance making it ideal for a variety of skill levels.

For the Beginner rider, the Mini Mal template provides sufficient volume and ensures it's an easy paddler and stable in smaller waves.

For the progressing or advanced rider, reduced thickness (compared to similar models) and more refined rails ensure it's still a relatively responsive and rippable board, so it's perfect for keeping the wave count up on the smaller days too.

Key Features:

✅ 100% Waterproof Moulded EPS Core – Exclusive Softlite moulding ensures consistent quality, a harder outer shell, and enhanced durability.
✅ Double Moulded Stringer System – Reinforced with fibreglass sheeting and epoxy resin for optimal flex and strength.
✅ Bones and Shanks Fin System – Thruster setup with easy-install fins. Compatible with other two-tab systems for customizable performance.
✅ Xtra Duralinx Slick – Provides speed and durability, keeping your board gliding smoothly.
✅ Edge Trim System & Exoskeletal Strength Membrane – Designed for enhanced performance and longevity.
✅ No Screws on Deck – A clean, seamless look with no risk of toe stubs. Plus, easier waxing!

Fins are included with every board, so you're ready to hit the waves straight away.

Available in sizes 6'0-8'0, and plenty of epic colours to suit all skill levels and styles.

KEY FEATURES

SHAPE

The Chop Stick uses our Mini Mal template. This is ideal for learning as they paddle fast, allowing you to catch more waves, and give you a little more time to get to your feet. Once your up and riding, the wider nose makes them extremely stable.

THICKNESS

We have been mindful to make the Chop Stick a touch thinner than the typical Soft Surfboard. While a thicker board is good for the early stages of learning, they are much harder to turn! By keeping the Chop Stick a touch thinner, this ensures your board doesn't hold you back once you start progressing.

Rails

Due to our Moulded Core process, we have been able to refine our rails profiles (particularly at the front end), so they are nice and rounded, and not sharp and bulky. This help to stop you from nosediving & catching rails while riding, and similarly to the thickness, makes the board a bit more responsive through turns.

BAMBOO STRINGER TECHNOLOGY

We use Bamboo Stringers, re-enforced with fibreglass sheeting and epoxy resin to give the perfect amount of flex, and greatly decreasing the chance of snapped boards.

The introduction of this technology has meant we've had very few snapped boards!

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.

This also allows us to have a Deck without fin screws.

EXCLUSIVE SOFTLITE MOULDS

These have been created through collaboration with our Softlite Team and renowned surfboard shapers.

Using moulds 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.

WHAT TO EXPECT

BEGINNER RIDERS

The Chop Stick is the ultimate first surfboard.

We reckon the more waves you catch, the quicker you'll improve, so we've tried to keep that in mind when designing this board.

The Chop Stick shape utilises a Mini Mal template ensuring they paddle fast so you'll catch plenty of waves and are extremely stable once your up and riding.

In saying that though, we understand no-one wants to be a beginner forever, so the Chop Stick has been designed with progression in mind.

We've made sure its not to thick, so once you improve it will allow you to start doing more advance turns etc

WHAT TO EXPECT

Experienced Riders

Well, we cant create waves, but we reckon the Chop Stick will do a pretty good job of getting you in the water when you normally might turn around and head home (and its always worth it right?!)

The extra paddle power will greatly increase your wave count once your out there too, but may lose you some friends in the line-up!

On top of that, when designing the Chop Stick, we were mindful to not make it too thick, and keep the rails quite refined, so you can still rip them through a few turns if the opportunity arises!

Back to Classic Construction

Mid 20s Surf beginner

This is a great board to learn to surf. Fits well in my little corolla and well on the roof. Love the colour (pink and blue) and its sturdy body.

One item damaged due to poor packaging

Board bubbled immediately

I got a chopstick and before I even used it I had put it on the floor for 10 minutes while I got the roof rack ready. In this short time I got a huge bubble from the suns heat. Very disappointed

Family favourite

Firstly the delivery and customer service was amazing.
A light and comfortable board to build your confidence. It’s still in perfect condition after two seasons, This is the first board picked by the family to head into the water

Chopstick

Awesome all round board, my daughter loves this board
