The #1 Beginner Surfboard
Catch waves easily. Progress faster. Have more fun.
If you are looking to learn to surf, the 8'0" Doho is the ultimate tool for the job. We designed this board to solve the biggest frustrations beginner surfers face: unstable boards, heavy waterlogged foam, and fragile fiberglass that breaks easily.
With 78 Liters of volume, the Doho paddles fast and makes catching waves simple. Unlike cheap soft tops, our proprietary foam core is rigid and responsive, giving you the stability you need to pop up with confidence and start turning down the line.

Technology & Construction
- Performance Foam: A solid piece of molded foam that is completely watertight. If you ding it, it won't soak up water or delaminate.
- Molded Stringer System: Embedded wooden stringers provide the "pop" and flex pattern of a real surfboard.
- Textured Deck: Our unique "shark skin" texture provides insane grip without ever needing wax. No melting in the car!
- Hand Finished Rails: Unlike cheap glued-seam boards, our rails are hand-finished for proper water release and turning speed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this board good for total beginners?
A: Yes! The 8'0" Doho is our #1 recommendation for learning. It has plenty of volume (78L) to make paddling easy and is stable enough to help you pop up with confidence.
Q: Do I really not need wax?
A: Correct. The deck has a custom molded texture that provides excellent grip when wet. You can say goodbye to messy wax melting in your car.
Q: How durable is it compared to a fiberglass board?
A: It is significantly more durable. While no board is indestructible, our high-density foam can take impacts, dings, and tumbles that would shatter a traditional fiberglass board.
