Softech Surfboards were one of the earlier companies to establish themselves in the modern-day soft board market. Softech surfboards’ manufacturing techniques and their product range on offer have come a long way over time. In Softech’s words, “inspired by the latest fiberglass surfboard designs, the Performance Series blurs the lines between significant ripping and having fun”.
