Baby Log Surfboard – Beginner-Friendly EPS/Epoxy Longboard, 57.3L–93.8L

Overview

Catch more waves. Build confidence. Enjoy every session.

The Surfboard Trading Co. Baby Log is a high-volume hardboard designed to make paddling, catching waves, and progressing your surfing more approachable. Combining a stable outline, generous flotation, forgiving rails, and gentle rocker, it offers a comfortable platform for beginners while remaining enjoyable for experienced surfers seeking easy wave-catching performance.

Designed as a natural step up from a foam surfboard, the Baby Log pairs the stability and paddle power of a beginner-oriented shape with lightweight EPS core and epoxy construction. The result is a versatile board designed to help surfers get into waves earlier, feel more stable underfoot, and continue developing their skills.

Available in four sizes from 7'6" to 9'0", the Baby Log lets you choose between a shorter, more maneuverable ride and a longer, higher-volume board focused on stability and glide.

Its versatile design is intended for small everyday surf through clean conditions reaching slightly overhead, making it a practical choice for surfers who value wave count, confidence, and fun.

High-Volume, Stable Outline

The Baby Log's generous width and volume create a supportive platform for paddling and standing. The additional flotation is designed to help surfers enter waves earlier and feel more stable as they develop their technique.

Soft, Forgiving Rails

The softer rail design supports a predictable feel through the water. This can help newer surfers build confidence while giving progressing riders room to explore turns and more advanced maneuvers.

Gentle Rocker

The gentle rocker is designed to support paddle speed and wave-catching ability while providing enough curve for a variety of wave shapes.

Lightweight EPS/Epoxy Construction

The EPS core and epoxy construction combine flotation with a relatively lightweight hardboard design. This makes the Baby Log an option for surfers transitioning from a foam board who want a different feel and response on the water.
