SOFTLITE SOFT SURFBOARDS SLIDER 7'0 THRUSTER - 2025 Model

Softlite Slider Lux – Premium Performance Meets Everyday Versatility

The Slider Lux is our premium all-rounder softboard — designed for surfers chasing the perfect blend of performance, durability, and versatility.

While the Funboard-style template makes it forgiving enough for progressing riders, the more refined Hybrid Construction gives it the responsiveness and stiffness that experienced surfers demand. This combination allows the Slider Lux to excel in a wider range of wave conditions — from mellow beach breaks to punchier reef setups.

Compared to our Classic Construction, the Hybrid build features a stringered EPS core wrapped in fibreglass cloth, reinforced with a wood veneer deck, and finished with a durable soft IXLPE deck skin and HD slick bottom. The result? A board that feels noticeably faster, stiffer, and more responsive underfoot — while still maintaining the safe and forgiving feel of a softboard.

The Funboard template provides a touch less surface area than a traditional Mini Mal, with a slightly pulled-in nose and tail for improved maneuverability. Despite this, it retains generous volume under the chest and front foot for easy paddling and effortless wave entry — perfect for surfers who want both performance and flow.

Key Features
HYBRID CONSTRUCTION - EPS Core wrapped in Fibreglass Cloth, Wood Veneer Deck Reinforcement & Epoxy Resin, finished with an IXLPE Deck Skin and HD Slick for increased stiffness, speed, and durability.

CNC SHAPED PERFORMANCE TEMPLATE - This model uses a small-wave shortboard template. Compared to a regular shortboard, it features a little extra width, a higher widepoint and slightly flatter rocker which all help assist with paddle power and performance in weaker waves.

FUTURES FIN SYSTEM - This ensures it is easy to install and remove fins, and is compatible with other Future Fins, allowing you to change your fins to suit conditions or alter board performance.

It features a Thruster Fin Set up using Futures Fin boxes.

As well as all the usual Softlite features, this series has a few to extra's setting it apart from the rest.
