Best quality soft top surfboard for absolute beginners!
Lisa✓ Verified Purchase•November 18, 2017
After a recent family trip, my duaghters and I had taken some lessons and now we all have the surf bug. I asked our surf instructor what a good board would be for me to learn on and was told to check out Gold Coast Surfboards and the 8' size. I have used this board a few times now after a few short lessons and I absolutely love this board.
It's way easier to paddle than the other board soft top board we were learning on in the lesson, plus I feel that when I pop up this board goes faster than the other soft top I was learning on.
The quality is way better than any other soft top I had seen in my local shop - this board compared to the costco board and the other incredibly expensive soft tops the surf shop had don't even come close to my board.
The shape, the color, the texture, all the added features that you get with Gold Coast makes them easily my go to option from here on out!

I purchased this board for my daughters 8th birthday. The board looks great! We ran into an issue with the large fin fastening to the board, so I contacted Gold Coast via Facebook and Alex took care of the issue immediately. So appreciative of their customer service, because it is top notch and that's what keeps life long customers. Alex with Gold Coast earned one in me and my family. Keep up the great work Gold Coast!
" I used to have a 6'10" gun board that was way beyond my skill level that was fun and good in my teens
Eric✓ Verified Purchase•August 18, 2017
After a very long hiatus, a move brought me closer to the beach so I thought, "why not revisit my youth??"
I used to have a 6'10" gun board that was way beyond my skill level that was fun and good in my teens, but this time I wanted something more appropriate to both my skill level, the surf near me (FL/east coast smaller sets) and my size (5'10" - 170).
After looking at numerous reviews and other research, I couldn't beat $330 for a board, leash and case!
I've only had the chance to take it out a couple of times, but here's what I've got:
- Very stable board. I have done my due diligence as far as dry land drills (thank you YouTube) and putting them into practice was very comfortable on this board. I was up on my 4th or 5th wave and once I got a feel for it had a great time. Nothing fancy on the water, but just a lot of fun. Coming from a smaller board required a little more effort as far as manuevering, but that is definitely on me. Once I get better, I can really see making the most out of the Atlantic mush on this thing. When I was pointed the right way, paddling in was smooth and made the 1-3' surf completely enjoyable.
- Very solid feeling. I was a little worried about a soft top and the flexing, but this was very firm and we'll built while remaining buoyant and surprisingly light. One note, it said somewhere that the skin on the deck didn't need wax (which sounded absurd) and I wasn't about to test that on the water. I did leave a small portion near the nose unwaxed just to see and I wouldn't recommend.
-Packaging was a little banged up, but the board was in perfect condition. I'm putting the blame on UPS for that one, the box was absolutely huge. Putting it all together took less than 30 mins including the fins, leash, pad, etc. Like I said, a real steal, just for including the bag and leash.
All in, this is a great deal for anyone new or returning to the water after a while (and real surfers I would imagine). I also got a couple of surf block straps for the roof of the car and would also recommend as they were a breeze. Highly recommended, good luck and happy surfing!!!

Ton of Fun and Great Experience
David✓ Verified Purchase•June 3, 2017
Bit of background - I've been surfing for a little over 3 years. Typically in Rockaway NY on a performance longboard but wanted something I could be a little rough on in the summer mush/ party waves and not have to worry about fixing dings every other weekend. Enter Goldcoast's 8' Verve. Board is a ton of fun. Lots of float but I didn't feel like I was on a SUP like some other foamies I've been on. I wasn't a huge fan of the thruster setup so I opted for the single fin which I've enjoyed a ton (mostly just my preference & background). Also, and this goes a long a way with me, they're just a great company to deal with. Clearly very excited about the product and super helpful. I ordered through Amazon with zero issues and they've been super responsive and cool throughout. All to say, really love the product, really love the experience. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a starter board or something they can love roughly. That's it! Have fun!
Excellent 8' board!!
Alex•April 22, 2017
Amazing board! I have been surfing a little over a year (I am still learning to read the waves and I stand up a couple times a session) and this board was perfect for me. The 8' Verve is big enough for me to paddle out and feel really comfortable in the water. I also love the Classic White so I don't stick out like a sore thumb while I am learning. Hopefully by the end of summer I can move to some of their short boards.
