Description

Classic surfboard design meets modern technology. The Takayama In The Pink Soft Top surfboard is the perfect combination of classic wave catching longboard and a fantastic modern tech all designed to deliver maximum fun.

Takayama’s In The Pink model is a reliable, go-to longboard that can face almost any wave type and size. Built to catch waves from shin high to head high, this is the ultimate longboard for performance with a friendly nature. Perfect for practically any surfer. If you are an experienced, skill logger who wants a board to trust, this is a no brainer. If you are starting out your longboarding journey and want a friendly surfboard that allows you to progress and grow though the skills of logging, look no further.

This Softop version of Donald Takayama’s favourite board is constructed with a thermal-formed EVA deck which offers great traction and is kinder on your knees and ribs when paddling. This construction is a great option for the beginner or improving surfer who wants to progress but is not quite ready for a hard deck board. Performance is not affected by the soft deck and the board surfs just as well as the Tuflite version. The Softop Custom Performance boards are number 1 for surf-school and rentals and have been a consumer favourite for more than 20 years. Essentially what you're getting is a high-end epoxy surfboard topped with the durable EVA deck which will also extend the lifespan of the board protecting it from dings to the nose, tail and rails.

Donald Takayama worked alongside Surftech/TufLite for some 20 years before he died in 2012. This close relationship was built on trust, respect and a commitment to deliver a quality product which remained faithful to Donald's original designs.

The board comes with 2 x Futures side bite plugs and a regular longboard centre fin box so you ride it as a single fin or 2+1 when you need a little more stability and control.

The Takayama In The Pink Soft Top is the perfect 'grab and go' longboard, you don't need to worry about waxing up, just head to the beach and paddle out

The team here at Boardshop are absolutely stoked to be offering these brilliant soft deck surfboards and would happily consider taking your old or unwanted surfboard as a trade-in against a new surfboard.

Great service.
Ordered the board and it arrived 2 days later, even during 'lockdown'. Excellent service at a competitive price.

Tried this board at Saunton today in small surf. All good as boards volume helped me to easily catch waves, and paddling out was much easier than my other longboards, especially knee paddling..
I used an 8” Greenough single fin, but think it needs a fat boy or large hatchet fin to drive the board better aswell as gain hold in the wave. I’ll find that out next time,,
All in all a super fun longboard!
