Ocean & Earth Ezi-Rider 2.0 8'0" Softboard

The Ocean & Earth Ezi-Rider 2.0 8'0" Softboard is a stable, forgiving and versatile soft top surfboard designed to make catching waves easier and surfing more fun.

At 8'0" x 22 3/4" x 3 3/4" with 80 litres of volume, the Ezi-Rider provides plenty of flotation and stability for beginner surfers while retaining enough manoeuvrability for more experienced surfers looking for a fun small-wave softboard. Ocean & Earth recommends the 8'0" for riders under 110kg.

Easy Paddling & Wave Catching

The generous 80L volume provides excellent buoyancy and paddling power, helping the Ezi-Rider get into waves early.

Its combination of an 8'0" length and 22 3/4" width creates a stable platform for learning to paddle, catch waves and get to your feet, making it a great choice for adults learning to surf or families wanting a versatile board everyone can enjoy.

More Than Just a Beginner Surfboard

While the Ezi-Rider is an excellent beginner surfboard, Ocean & Earth designed the range to be fun across a wide range of surfing abilities.

More experienced surfers can take advantage of the board's volume and easy wave-catching ability on smaller days when a conventional performance surfboard can struggle to generate speed.

Durable Ezi-Rider Construction

The deck uses cross-linked IXL PE skin with Water Barrier Skin, providing a highly water-resistant, durable surface with good grip and impact resistance.

Inside, the lightweight EPS core on the 8'0" is reinforced with three stringers to increase strength and help maintain the board's rocker.

A 1mm high-density polyethylene slick bottom provides additional durability, strength and smooth performance through the water.

Interchangeable Thruster Fin Setup

The Ezi-Rider 2.0 8'0" uses an interchangeable dual-tab thruster fin system and comes supplied with three 4.5" Soft PU fins.

The interchangeable boxes make changing fins quick and easy using the included fin key and are compatible with most major dual-tab fin brands.

Dark Navy & Sage

At FlowState Surf + Sport, the Ezi-Rider 2.0 8'0" is available in Dark Navy and Sage.

Why You'll Love It

The Ocean & Earth Ezi-Rider 2.0 8'0" hits a particularly useful sweet spot in the Ezi-Rider range.

Its 80L volume provides plenty of stability and wave-catching ability, but at 8'0" it's still more manageable and manoeuvrable than the larger 9'0". Add the durable three-stringer construction, soft thruster fins and interchangeable fin system, and you have a versatile softboard that can take a surfer from their first waves through to relaxed small-wave sessions.

For someone searching for an 8ft softboard, beginner surfboard or soft top surfboard in New Zealand, the Ezi-Rider 2.0 is a strong all-round choice.
