Why the 8' Party Wave Works
66L OF WAVE-CATCHING VOLUME
The 8' Party Wave carries 66 liters of volume, providing the flotation needed for efficient paddling, early wave entry, and excellent stability.
For a beginner, that can make a major difference. Instead of spending the entire session struggling to catch waves, the Party Wave gives you a stable platform designed to help you paddle, catch waves, stand up, and repeat.
STABLE 23" WIDTH
At 23 inches wide, the 8' Party Wave provides additional stability compared with the 7'0". That makes it particularly well suited to adult beginners and surfers who prioritize stability and wave-catching ability over maximum maneuverability.
LOW ROCKER FOR EASY PADDLING
The Party Wave's low-rocker profile helps the board move efficiently through the water. Combined with its 8-foot length and 66L of volume, this gives the board excellent paddle power and helps it enter smaller, softer waves early.
True Soft Top Construction
HIGH-DENSITY FOAM CORE
The Party Wave is built as a true soft top surfboard with a high-density foam core designed to provide flotation and a forgiving feel.
DUAL BAMBOO STRINGERS
Two durable, flexible bamboo stringers provide internal structure and support while allowing the board to retain the flex associated with soft-top construction.
IXPE SOFT DECK
The comfortable IXPE soft deck creates a forgiving surface for paddling and learning. We recommend waxing the deck for additional traction.
HDPE SLICK BOTTOM
The HDPE slick bottom creates a smooth running surface designed to help the Party Wave glide efficiently and maintain speed.
Who Should Ride the 8' Party Wave?
FIRST-TIME SURFERS
If your priority is making learning as easy as possible, the 8' Party Wave provides considerably more stability and flotation than many smaller beginner boards.
ADULT BEGINNERS
The 66L volume and 23-inch width make the 8'0" particularly attractive for adult beginners who want more board underneath them.
PROGRESSING SURFERS
Once you're consistently standing up, use the Party Wave to work on angled takeoffs, trimming, positioning, and basic turns.
EXPERIENCED SURFERS
When the waves are small, the Party Wave's paddle power and generous volume make catching waves almost effortless.
FRIENDS & FAMILY
The 8' Party Wave is exactly the kind of surfboard worth keeping around. Even after you've progressed onto other boards, you've still got an easy-to-ride soft top for friends, family, visitors, or small-wave sessions.

Choose the 7' Party Wave if you want a more maneuverable soft top while retaining plenty of flotation and stability. Generally suggested for a child or smaller adult.
Choose the 8' Party Wave if your priority is maximum stability, easier paddling, and catching as many waves as possible.
For many first-time adult surfers deciding between the two, the 8'0" will generally be the easier board to learn on.
