Meet the So FUUUN!: Extra Waves Without Giving Up Performance

The So FUUUN! combines paddle power, useful volume and lively epoxy construction in a board designed for everyday waves.

Meet the So FUUUN!: Extra Waves Without Giving Up Performance

The So FUUUN! was created to connect easy wave-catching with genuine manoeuvrability. Its flatter deck, beak nose and foam positioned beneath the chest provide stability and paddle power without making the board feel passive.

This balance opens the model to a wide group of surfers. Developing riders gain confidence and more opportunities to practise, while experienced surfers get a board that generates speed in average conditions and still responds when pushed.

Light, lively construction

A stringerless epoxy core is reinforced with carbon/aramid rail tape and biaxial fibreglass across the deck. The combination reduces weight while allowing controlled torsional flex—the board can load through a turn and release energy rather than feeling rigid.

The So FUUUN! is intended to carry more volume. Those extra litres are part of the design, supporting speed and wave count rather than hiding inside an unsuitable shortboard outline.
