Technical characteristics:

Beginners will appreciate its stability, and more experienced surfers will love its evolutionary nature.

The relatively wide outline combined with a tight rocker provides the right characteristics for a smooth learning curve. Easy to paddle, it will be easy to get started.

Although it's a big board with 58L, it's still very versatile. So you can use the board in more powerful waves and start attacking your first maneuvers.

Over the seasons, the 7'9" Malibu has earned a reputation for versatility and durability with a good price point.

We recommend it for sizes between 50 and 85kgs.

It's the perfect choice for a first surfboard, easy to wear and durable.

Heavier surfers will appreciate its length and performance before moving on to more demanding shortboards.
