The Alpha 5'6 is a soft top surfboard that offers all the features a performance surfer needs combined in a lightweight and solid construction. Invisible seams and a traction pad design that makes you go Woof! These are some of the characteristics of this top-notch surfboard. Integrated Futures Fin boxes in a 5-fin setup give you a range of options for every type of wave the ocean has on offer.

Have a blast and perform as a pro-surfer. The Alpha dog 5'6 is the perfect board for your first steps in shortboarding. And even better, also for your third, fourth and fifth step. The outline of the shape encourages energetic surfing. Go and enjoy trying to throw down some of your big moves. Also, in sloppy summer conditions. Actually, a soft board that rides and performs as your classic shortboard but with a lot more forgiveness. A little word of friendly advice though, this board is radder than the raddest surfers out there. The width in combination with it's shorter length is the winning combo here!

This is for sure the cherry on the cake. With 5 futures fin boxes you always have all options when it comes down to fin positioning in different types of waves. A quad setup, 2fins on each side, for more speed and looser for manoeuvres. A thruster setup, 2 side fins + 1 centre fin, for more carving and grip when doing bottom turns. The choice for a certain fin setup can be very personal and is depending a lot on the personal preferences of the surfer. But don't be bothered, you have all options!

Futures is a universal fin system used by all leading surfboard brands. The Futures fin system is the lightest and strongest system in the world. We chose this system because it’s a proven, no-nonsense, and very durable solution. This system is compatible with all fins carrying the futures adaptor, and you can take our word for it, there are boatloads! They come in all colours, shapes, sizes and setups you’ve ever dreamed of.

The top of the board, our soft skin IXPE, is always groovy :) like a lizard skin, the eco-friendly IXPE material has a nice and deep texture that provides heaps of grip. Do I need to wax my board? Yes and no :) basically, you don’t need to wax your Softdog but when you want to ride it a bit more radical… a little extra wax is your dog’s best friend! Waxing is also a form of meditation and a cool thing to do. When you surf with booties on your paws, wax becomes less important. Removing wax from your board is also very easy. Just use a friendly detergent like ‘Ecover’ and you can rub the wax right off your board.

Quality meets durability! First of all: ALL Softdog constructions are 100% sealed! This seems like a no-brainer for us, but this is not the case for many softie surfboard brands out there. 100% sealed means a higher quality of surfing and a longer lifespan for your Softdog surfboard. It packs a high-density EPS core wrapped in an eco-friendly IXPE grippy lizard top skin. In between you can find a range of components to make your board stiffer and last longer. Also note the fantastic Flightweight R+ technology stringer on top of your core. This is all technical stuff but it’s good stuff! Softies are the future of no-nonsense surfing for all levels, topped off with an extra-large dose of fun!
