The Temper 8'0 is a popular mini-malibu from the Classic range, designed for medium-sized surfers looking for stability and ease. With its 72 liters of volume, this board offers reassuring buoyancy for riders up to 85 kg. At 8 feet long, it combines the easy paddling of a longboard with the maneuverability of a mini-mal. Its Hybrid construction with fiberglass makes it stronger than foam school boards, yet as easy to ride as high-end epoxy boards.
The 8'0 size is perfect for riders up to 85 kg. Volume on the nose to prevent pearling, a square tail with plenty of surface area to forgive positioning errors. Easy to paddle, stable on the take-off, forgiving in turns. With its 22 9/16" width, the Temper remains maneuverable without sacrificing stability.
The mini-mal is the ideal size to start with after your course. Shorter than a longboard (and therefore more maneuverable), but with enough volume to remain forgiving. The Zeus Hybrid construction (EPO + XPE + fiberglass + HDPE slick) gives you real glide and fast progression. The square tail forgives errors, the voluminous nose helps you paddle in small waves, and the reinforced EVA rails absorb impacts without flinching.
The Classic mini-mal is the smart choice for your first personal board. Do you want an easy, solid, and versatile board that helps you progress in all conditions? The Temper does exactly that.
The Temper 8'0 is for beginner to advanced intermediate surfers (level 1.1 to 2.2), up to 85 kg. It's the perfect post-course board: stable, durable, and easy to master. Do you want a board that makes you feel confident and helps you progress quickly? This is it.
Waves from 50 cm to 1.50 m (knee to shoulder). Excellent in beach breaks and mellow point breaks. Enough volume to paddle effortlessly, enough length to catch waves early. The Temper turns small waves into fun sessions.

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.
