When you try surfing for the first time, the board you use can spell out a different world. Choose the wrong type of surfboard and you won't be able to catch the waves.

You may not be tempted to surf again. But if you have a good beginner's board that helps you paddle and balance, then you'll never want to leave it!

Here, we review the 6-inch Giantex Foam Top surfboard, a popular choice for those who want to experience stoker for the first time.

Review
Learn more about 6-foot surfboards in the following categories: size, speed, durability, board handling, flexibility and safety.

Volume
The soft top is bulky, so it is much more buoyant than a normal surfboard. This is good for beginners, because the bigger the board, the better it floats. You don't have to worry about sinking and you won't have too much trouble paddling on this board, as it allows you to perk up easily. According to product specifications, the board can hold up to 200 pounds.

Speed
When riding soft tops, they are slow and muddy. These boards are usually used for learning and you don't need the speed induction features of more advanced surfboards. However, this Giantex surfboard comes with a unique concave bottom that helps you get faster speeds than other foams. You can expect this board to go faster than other beginner boards.

Durability
This soft top short board is as durable as any styrofoam. Made from high-quality HDPE and a smooth PP bottom, the board will last a long time as long as you remember to follow the correct surfboard care guidelines. Keep it out of direct sunlight and always clean the board with fresh water after going out to sea.
Still, this board isn't designed to be your board forever. As long as it's good enough to catch your waves on it, you should be ready to move into a more suitable and traditional surfboard.

Board of Directors
The foam is easy to carry and handle in and out of water. You don't have to worry about dents and dents on a board like you would on a traditional PU or epoxy surfboard. The board is also easy to assemble and pack. You can hide it in the back of the car or attach it tightly to the roof.

Flexibility
By flexibility we mean the board's ability to handle different kinds of waves.
Because it is a soft-top beginner surfboard, it does quite well on small beach breakers. When the waves get a little bigger, it may not perform well.
This should not be your first choice if you are going to surf more seriously. However, this is a good enough board for your full day surfing lessons.

Security
Because you're still learning how to surf, you still have a good chance of getting hit by your own board due to incorrect board handling.

That's why you also have to learn how to kill it the right way.

Still, foam is much softer than a traditional surfboard, so as long as you practice carefully getting in and out of the water, you don't have to worry about serious injuries.
