Wetprocess fibreboards are made by reducing steamed wood into fibres and by using the natural lignins as a binder during the pressing process. Depending on the degree of pressing involved, and hence the final density of the panel, the product is termed softboard or hardboard.
Softboard panels are used mainly for insulation. Softboards insulate against the cold, and also prevent overheating during summer months. In addition, they act as acoustic barriers against the transfer of noise.
Easy to install softboards are used in various building shell applications, roofs, walls and floors. End-users realize substantial savings on building costs and improved performance when compared with rendered masonry construction.
In the world of surfing, there are two main types of surfboards: softboards and hardboards. The choice between the two depends on a variety of factors, including your skill level, personal preference, and the type of surfing you want to do.
Softboard surfboards are made from a variety of materials, including polyurethane foam, polystyrene foam, and polyester foam. They are often used by beginners because they have that soft exterior, making them safer to use and easier to ride and control. They're also generally more durable than hardboards, which means they can withstand impacts from rocks or other hard objects without getting damaged too easily. The soft exterior may dent a little bit, but it will not compromise the water-tight integrity of the board like it would on a hard surfboard. Softboard surf sessions are great for summertime small waves...maximize your fun!
TCSS owner Ryan Gerard says: "Soft surfboards have been all the rage the last few years for a variety of reasons: they're safe, easy to surf, and ideal for kids, new surfers, and even good surfers wanting to just have a little fun. Maybe best of all? They are more affordable than traditional hardboards."

Ah, the good ol' foamie board. Long-stigmatized as belonging solely to the realm of kiddos and beginner-kooks, softboard surfboards have earned more clout in the surfing world because, well, they're genuinely fun at every skill level. Yes, foam surfboards still prove themselves to be perfect entry-level, durable boards for beginners. (And yes, they still come in the most vibrant, 80s-inspired colors you ever did see.) The foam construction means they're soft on top, safe, and forgiving, and most models are affordable enough to invest in a couple for the whole family. Not to mention their high-volume designs = the ability to catch almost any wave. Paddling into a wave on a foamie like the Catch Surf Odysea Log, you're bound to be wave-hog of the day. But some foamies, like the Torq Longboard Soft Deck and Pyzel Nathan Florence Pod Racer, are constructed with a solid epoxy core wrapped in EPS foam, resulting in a stiffer board with slimmer rails. These types of foamies allow for quicker turns and opportunity for more advanced surf maneuvers while maintaining durability. So you can still shred without worrying about those pesky driveways and air cargo employees causing damage.
