These boards are designed to make it as easy as possible to catch waves and learn how to get on the board. People often talk about "foam surfing", i.e. catching a wave that has already broken and then surfing straight ahead on the white water. With these boards you get lots of waves and the opportunity to practice your pop-up and stance. A softboard/beginner board should be used in smaller and slower waves (we have a lot of them in Sweden).
