Softech Surfboard The Slayer 8'0 Clear Sky

Softech Surfboard The Slayer 8'0 Clear Sky

The ultimate softboard for easy paddling, safe learning, and catching a maximum of waves

The Softech The Slayer 8'0" Clear Sky is the most voluminous and stable model in the Slayer range. Featuring a stunning clean Clear Sky blue colorway, it offers the ideal platform for larger surfers or anyone looking to fast-track their progress right after surf lessons. With its 8-foot length and generous buoyancy, it combines the easy paddling and ultra-early wave catching of a traditional mini-malibu with the versatility of a modern, forgiving shape.

Technical Features & Design

• Laminated Epoxy Core with Timber Stringer: Features a heavy-duty wooden stringer paired with a waterproof EPS foam core and vacuum glassing, guaranteeing the stiffness, projection, and flex of a true hardboard while remaining ultra-durable.

• Performance Hybrid Outline & Refined Bottom: A nose with a slightly lifted rocker to paddle out smoothly and prevent pearling on takeoff, combined with a Vee / Double Vee concave on the bottom for very smooth rail-to-rail transitions.

• Upgradeable FCS II Fin Boxes: Equipped with the revolutionary FCS II system (tool-less installation). Supplied stock with Softflex fins for maximum safety, its boxes allow you to mount rigid FCS II fins in Neo Glass (for example) to gain speed, projection, and maximize hold in turns once your skills improve.

• High-Density PE Foam Deck: Soft, non-slip, and comfortable X-Density deck for paddling, preventing skin irritation.

• Slick HDPE Bottom: Reinforced high-density slick ensuring a fast, smooth glide and high resistance to friction.

Key Strengths

• Express Wave Catching & Maximum Buoyancy: With its impressive 70-liter volume, it forgives positioning mistakes and catches waves almost on its own, even in choppy or small summer conditions.

• Performance Boost with Neo Glass Fins: By replacing the stock soft fins with rigid FCS II Neo Glass fins, you drastically enhance the board's responsiveness, drive, and edge-hold on the wave.

• Reassuring Stability & Versatility: Its generous width provides perfect balance on takeoff, ideal for progressing surfers or heavier riders up to 100 kg.

• Safety & Durability: The softboard construction absorbs transport bumps perfectly and reduces the risk of impacts in the water.

The Breizh Rider Team's Advice

"In the 8'0" (70L) Clear Sky finish, the Softech Slayer is the ultimate comfort board! It's the ideal board to nail every takeoff without struggling while paddling. On the waves of Douarnenez Bay or Audierne Bay, it works wonders whenever the swell is small or a bit mushy. It's a true wave-catching machine for every session. And if you want to give it a second wind as your skills progress, mount a set of FCS II Neo Glass fins: you'll dramatically boost its drive and responsiveness while keeping the forgiveness of foam under your feet!"
