The Funboard allround surfboard - Shop now!
A fun board is the perfect surfboard for you if you go surfing once or twice a year and the wave height does not exceed 2 metres. You should already have experience surfing green waves with a surfboard. A funboard combines the features of a mini Malibu surfboard with those of a shortboard. The length and volume of the funboard increases your wave yield, while the tail of a shortboard gives you more performance to surf more radical manoeuvres.
You can find all the important information about buying a funboard in our FAQs and our big surfboard guide.
A funboard is a versatile surfboard that offers a mix of features from different surfboard types. It is usually longer and wider than a shortboard, but shorter and narrower than a longboard. Funboards are often designed as all-rounders and are therefore suitable for a variety of wave conditions and surfing levels.
Typically, funboards have a wider nose for stability and buoyancy, which makes paddling out and catching waves easier. However, the narrower tail and rounded outline still allow for quick turns and manoeuvrability on the wave.
Funboards are ideal for surfers looking for a board that offers a good balance between stability and manoeuvrability and works well in different wave sizes and conditions. They are also a good choice for beginners looking to improve their surfing skills, as well as advanced surfers looking for a relaxed and fun surfing experience.
To buy a fun surfboard in the right size, pay attention to the following:
For a fun board, I recommend a length between 6 feet (approx. 182 cm) and 8 feet (approx. 244 cm), a width between 20 and 22 inches (approx. 51 to 56 cm) and a thickness between 2.5 and 3.5 inches (approx. 6 to 9 cm). These sizes offer a good balance between stability and manoeuvrability for a versatile surfing experience in different wave conditions. A funboard should be your height + the extension of your arms.

- ambitious beginners: due to their stability and easy paddling, funboards are well suited to beginners making their first attempts at surfing.
