Ben Gravy Wave Bandit Easy Rider Soft Surfboard – Stable Longboard Softboard for Beginners & Intermediates

Overview

The Ben Gravy Wave Bandit Easy Rider is a longboard-style soft surfboard designed for beginners and intermediate surfers who want a stable, forgiving platform that makes catching waves easier.

Its generous dimensions and high volume provide ample flotation, while the softboard construction offers a comfortable, approachable platform for learning fundamental skills and developing confidence. The Dual-Composite EPS Core and Dual-Wood Stringers add stiffness and durability, creating a board built for repeated sessions as your surfing progresses.

Available in 7'0" and 8'0" sizes, the Easy Rider gives surfers the flexibility to choose a larger, more stable platform or a slightly more compact option as their skills develop.

Why the Easy Rider Stands Out

The Easy Rider is designed to make the early stages of surfing more accessible and enjoyable. Its longboard-inspired outline and generous volume help provide the flotation and stability beginners typically need when learning to catch waves and stand comfortably.

As a rider progresses, the board remains useful for practicing turns and developing wave-reading skills, making it a practical option for surfers who want a board that supports their progression rather than only serving as a first board.
