The 6' Guppy:

The 6’ Guppy is the a great option for the more price conscious beginner surfer. We categorize the 8’ & 6’ & 5' Guppy as basic beginner boards as compared to our premium boards, they simply don’t have the same deluxe extras built into the board.

The 6’ Guppy surfboards don’t cheap out by any means, they simply consist of the best and most essential basics needed for a beginner surfboard.

We wanted to create an 6’ shape that still featured premium quality materials and signature ease of use associated with SBBC boards, but wanted to make sure we could offer the 5’ guppy at an extremely friendly price.

The 6’ Guppy is available in two color options: Blue/White Stripes & Pink/White stripes. The stripes are custom printed but have the look of an off-set resin color stain usually seen on professional hardboards. The slightly textured surface, while not wax-free like our other premium beginner boards, still provides a great texture to quickly add wax to.

The 8’ and 6’ and 5' Guppy are the best value, price conscious beginner surfboards available in the industry today.

Being 6’ long, 21” wide and 3” thick, this 6’ Guppy is great for small kids and pre-teens (under 125lbs is best). It’s our thickest surfboard that we carry and this is meant to add as much float and paddle ability to the board. This makes it way easier to paddle and catch waves with, making it a very fun experience for beginner surfers.

The length and thickness and overall general shape is best for surfing crumbly whitewash and waves up to 2’ - for brand new beginners, we do not recommend learning in surf bigger than 2’ unless you are with an instructor in the water.

All South Bay Board Co. Basic Beginner Surfboards are great boards for all brand new beginners to learn with and enjoy without having to worry about depleting all of their cash funds. The basic beginner surfboards still still exceed the expectations of beginner surfboards, especially compared to similar basic beginner boards being sold in big box stores like costco.

That’s because even though they are the basic boards, they are still only made with the best, specifically sourced materials so we can guarantee the best premium quality basic beginner surfboards every time, for every South Bay customer learning to surf.

What makes a basic beginner surfboard so much better at South Bay Board Co than anywhere else?

The basic beginner boards simply feature better quality materials, stronger construction, and better aesthetic design. 90% of soft top surfboard brands make pretty much the same type of board with no real guts inside the board to help them prepare for the heavy action they are going to take from beginners learning how to surf (aka shallow water, wave slamming board into sand).

The Guppy boards feature 2 full length wooden stringers + our light weight closed cell eps foam core. The closed cell (most beginner boards are open cell) means that the board will not absorb water like a sponge. The 2 full length stringers help keep these boards strong and ready for beginners to go through trial and error with.

The custom materials and unique aesthetic designs consistently deliver un-rivaled performance & value over any other basic beginner soft top surfboard in the world. We make, and will continue to make, better basic beginner soft top boards than anyone of our “competitors” with significantly better prices, delivered directly to your door in 2-4 days.

Our motto for the Basic Beginner line of Surfboards is simple - Continue to help people learn how to surf on the easiest and best priced basic beginner soft top surfboards in the world.
