At Ryder, we believe a better softboard starts with better construction.
Every Ryder soft surfboard combines proven surfboard shapes with premium materials and advanced softboard technology to deliver the right balance of performance, durability and safety.
From our high-density EPS cores and reinforced marine-ply stringers to advanced deck skins and interchangeable fin systems, every component has a purpose — helping create boards that are stronger, more responsive and built to handle more time in the water.
Explore the technology behind Ryder.
Built for durability in real-world conditions. Every Ryder softboard undergoes thermal testing at 70°C for two hours, helping ensure the board’s construction and bonding can withstand extreme heat and reduce the risk of de-lamination. Another step in making Ryder boards tougher, more reliable and built to last.

Interchangeable Fin Box System (IFBS)
Our Interchangeable fins for more drive and control on steeper waves. Carefully designed foils lend performance yet a soft edge to keep fin hazards low. Allows quick and easy fin changes.


Our high-density EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) is a premium material that maintains composure through heavy use. Beads are expanded with water and air-pressure to form final shapes.

We use an extremely light marine ply shaped out to conform rocker lines and ensure proper reinforcement. Each stringer is hand treated with an epoxy coating to maintain water resistance and prepare a proper bonding to the core.
