The Zeus Progress 7'6 is exactly what you expect from a first board: easy, solid and ultra-versatile. Designed for adults who want to progress quickly and safely, it helps you nail your take-offs, correct your technique and catch more waves from your first sessions.
With its IXPE foam deck, soft fins, carry handle, generous volume (63 L) and wide nose/tail that forgive mistakes, it's the ideal board to learn stress-free. No surprise: it's one of our best-selling boards for novice surfers.
The Progress 7'6 uses a latest-generation 100% Soft construction, designed to handle beginner sessions without flinching:
No cheap finishes, no "toy" look: this isn't a supermarket board, but a real foam surfboard, built to last.
This construction guarantees optimal safety, proven durability in surf schools and impact resistance far above average.
Every detail of the Progress 7'6 shape has been optimized to make learning easier:
Result: you get up more often, stay better balanced and can focus on your stance and trajectory rather than struggling to stay standing.
The Soft construction includes soft fins to minimize the risk of injury in case of a fall, while maintaining good maneuverability to develop technically over sessions.
The Progress 7'6 is designed to withstand intensive use in surf schools, making it a particularly reassuring choice for a first purchase.
With its 63 L of volume, the Zeus Progress 7'6 offers excellent buoyancy for adults up to approximately 75 kg.
Leash not included: plan for a leash to complete your equipment.
If you're looking for a reliable, stable and reassuring first board to progress quickly and safely, the Zeus Progress 7'6 ticks all the boxes.

A question about your appointment on the chat?

I'll answer in two parts: the actual answer first, then what we think about it.
"Foam board", "softboard", "soft top" — it's all the same. The term comes from the EPS (expanded polystyrene) core covered with a soft coating.
But beware: a Zeus is nothing like a beach toy. Reinforced construction, wooden or composite stringer, high-density slick — this is pro equipment designed to last 3 to 5 years in a surf school (intensive use).
In Brittany — and especially here — it's quite rare to surf without a wetsuit. Check your board's specs or contact us if you have any doubts.
It depends on the deck.
EVA Deck (Dolce, Cabianca, Classic, Burger) — no wax needed, grip is integrated. This is the choice of 90% of surfers in France.
IXPE Deck — wax recommended. Smoother surface, feel similar to epoxy. Ideal for hot countries when you surf in boardshorts.

The 300+ partner surf schools have done the math. They invest once, they're set. You can be too.
A beginner board costs less to buy, but let's do the real math. Basic construction, generic shapes, limited lifespan: you'll buy another in 12-18 months. Resale value? Almost zero.
A €350 Zeus lasts 3 to 5 years. When you resell it, you can easily get €150-€200 back – shops will take it, the second-hand market is active. Real cost: ~€50/year versus ~€100/year for a beginner board.

Our Dolce and Cabianca ranges rival the sensations of a rigid board — responsiveness, glide, radicality — without losing the softboard's durability.
Hardboards (epoxy, polyester) and softboards use different technologies.
Hardboard: PU or EPS foam core covered with fiberglass and resin. Hard surface, lighter, very reactive. Requires an advanced level (3.1+). Sensitive to impact.
Softboard: EPS core with a soft coating (EVA or IXPE). More forgiving, more stable, absorbs shocks. Ideal for progressing from beginner to advanced intermediate.
