Gnaraloo Dune Buggy Softboard

Little rippers, this one's for you. The Dune Buggy is a compact, super-stable first surfboard built so aspiring groms can pop up, find their feet and start riding waves with confidence.

Key Features

• Compact 4'10" plan shape that's easy for little arms and legs to manage
• Generous outline and stable foam platform — pop-ups come easy, so kids ride waves sooner
• Thick polyethylene deck with a soft slick bottom: tough, yet soft enough to keep beginners safe
• EPS core with an internal stringer that holds its rocker instead of over-flexing, for a more surfboard-like feel
• Slightly tapered tail so young surfers can start learning smooth, basic turns
• Vacuum construction with no hard or sharp surfaces — won't peel or bubble
• Flexible thruster fin set with a leash attachment loop, simple to fit and quick to the water
• Five bright colourways (Torq, Blue, Lime, White, Marshmallow Pink)

Sizing

This size is a length — the Dune Buggy comes in a single 4'10" (around 35 L), purpose-built for little riders. Its maximum rider weight is around 50 kg (based on board volume and an intermediate skill level); the "under 40 kg" figure you'll see quoted is the brand's beginner recommendation, not the ceiling. Either way, it's best for lighter, younger riders as a beginner board — once a rider is comfortably standing and turning, they'll likely want to step up to something like the Flounder Pounder.
