Best surfboards for mushy waves

Mushy waves give you nothing for free. These surfboards are rated for soft, crumbling surf, where planing speed and volume under the chest do the work the wave will not.

Every board family is in the running here — shortboards, fish, grovelers, mid-lengths, longboards, step-ups and guns.
