Designed by a surf coach after countless hours improving beginner to intermediate surfers - this egg is wider, shorter and easier to surf than the outdated mini-mals that currently populate the learner surfboard market.
The overall thicker and wider measurements allow you to size this board shorter than your average mini-mal - this makes it easier to handle in and out of the water.
Easy to turn, fits in the car and a breeze to carry to the beach!
Surf this board in ankle to shoulder high waves - the perfect board to progress on from your foamie or as a fun, high volume small wave board for intermediate and improver surfers.
Handmade in Cornwall from traditional PU foam and fibreglass, not a mass-produced import.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
A mini-mal (or mini-malibu) is a surfboard typically between 7'0" and 8'0" that sits between a full-length longboard and a shortboard. It's designed to make catching green waves accessible for improvers and intermediates — more stable than a shortboard but far easier to handle than a full mal. The Sunny Side Up is our take on this shape, refined specifically for modern surfers ready to move on from a foamie.
-
Yes — it's designed exactly for that transition. If you've been learning on a foam surfboard and you're catching green waves consistently, the Sunny Side Up is the natural next step. The fibreglass construction gives you a noticeably livelier, more responsive feel than a foamie, while the volume and width keep it forgiving enough not to set you back.
-
Most mini-mals on the market were designed decades ago and haven't changed much since. The Sunny Side Up was designed from scratch by a surf coach who has spent countless hours coaching improvers — so it's wider, shorter, and easier to surf than a traditional mini-mal. The extra width and thickness mean you can size it shorter than you might expect, making it easier to carry, turn and even fit in a car.
