Stable. Durable. Built to Catch Waves.

As our most popular, most versatile foam surfboard, it's engineered for efficiency in any conditions, so whether the surf is knee high or overhead, you're catching more waves and getting into them earlier instead of watching the set roll past.

This is the go-to board for surfers of all ages and stages, from a first timer chasing their first green wave to a seasoned surfer who wants a fun, forgiving everyday ride. It's the one board the whole family can share, and because the EPS Core is the most durable surfboard we make, it shrugs off the dings, knocks, and beatings that retire ordinary foamies. Wax it up like any other surfboard, grab your towel, and go; the Swell Operator 9' Soft Top Foam surfboard – White is ready to turn more beach days into your best days on the water.
