Foam surfboards are those surfboards that are not covered with hard resin and are made of special waterproof polystyrene foam (EPS) and other materials as the main materials. The deck is usually exposed and covered with a layer of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) sheet for protection, and the bottom is a hard and smooth sheet to reduce the resistance when sliding. It is mainly composed of a foam core, an EVA surface layer, a smooth bottom sheet, and possible reinforcement ribs or keels. The foam core is the main body of the board, providing buoyancy and support; the EVA surface layer covers the foam core to protect the foam and increase friction; the smooth bottom sheet helps the surfboard glide quickly in the water; the reinforcement ribs or keels are generally located in the center of the board to enhance the strength and stability of the board.

With the improvement of people's living standards and the increase in demand for leisure and entertainment activities, more and more people choose to surf and entertain in waters such as beaches and lakes, which has promoted the market demand for soft-top surfboards in the entertainment field. In some professional surfing competitions, soft-top surfboards are also widely used. Because of its good performance and controllability, it can meet the needs of athletes in the competition, so its market share in the field of sports competitions is also gradually increasing.

With the popularization and development of surfing and people's pursuit of a healthy and leisure lifestyle, the market demand for soft-top surfboards will continue to grow. Especially in some emerging markets and developing countries, with the development of the economy and the improvement of people's income levels, the participation in surfing will continue to increase, thus bringing new growth opportunities to the soft-top surfboard market.

In order to improve the performance and competitiveness of soft-top surfboards, manufacturers will continue to increase investment in technology research and development to promote product innovation. For example, develop new materials and production processes to improve the strength, elasticity and durability of surfboards; develop intelligent surfboard products equipped with sensors, navigation systems and other functions to enhance user experience.
