The Burger is the flagship model of more than 200 surf schools worldwide. Why? Because it works for every build, from 70 kg teens to sturdy 110 kg adults and beyond. With its 4 sizes (80L to 104L), this board finally offers volume matched to your body type. Long enough to glide easily, wide enough to stay stable, solid enough to last.
It's the board that proves surfing is for everyone.
The Burger combines a wide outline (25.5" to 26.5") with generous thickness (3.75" to 4"). This ratio gives you the stability you need to stand up easily, without sacrificing manageability once you're moving. The wide nose makes paddling and wave-catching easier, even at 100 kg. The generous tail maintains lift in soft sections. The rounded rails forgive positioning mistakes.
Result: you catch more waves, you fall less, you progress faster.
Dimensions: 7'0 x 25.5" x 3.75"
Volume: 80 litres
Recommended build: 85-95 kg
The compact format of the range. Enough volume to carry you comfortably, manageable enough to progress quickly. Ideal if you've already surfed a few times and want the balance between ease and performance. The Burger 7'0 turns struggle sessions into fun sessions.
Dimensions: 7'6 x 25.5" x 3.75"
Volume: 90 litres
Recommended build: 85-100 kg
The absolute sweet spot. The best-selling board in the Burger range for big builds. Long enough for glide and stability. Enough volume to carry you effortlessly. Not too long for transport and manageability. If you weigh between 85 and 100 kg and you're torn between two sizes, take this one. You won't regret it.
Dimensions: 8'0 x 26.5" x 3.69"
Volume: 97 litres
Recommended build: 95-110 kg
Absolute stability. Nearly 100 litres of volume. 8 feet of length. If you weigh over 100 kg and you're starting out, this is your board. Easy take-offs from the very first sessions. You'll be getting up fast, catching waves in bunches, progressing quickly. It's the guarantee of fun sessions from the start.
Dimensions: 8'6 x 25.5" x 4"
Volume: 104 litres
Recommended build: 105-115 kg
Maximum ease. 104 litres to carry you without the slightest effort. For 105-115 kg surfers after the most stable board possible. You'll have a blast from the very first session. Ultra-easy take-off, maximum stability, immediate confidence.
Every Burger is delivered with a Thruster setup (3 fins), a versatile configuration that offers control and stability. The fins are included, so you're ready to surf from day one. No need to buy anything extra except a leash.
Because it's THE board designed for your build. Its generous volume guarantees float matched to your body type. You don't sink. You don't struggle paddling. You don't miss waves because your board doesn't have enough volume.
The length makes paddling and wave-catching easier, even in small conditions. You catch waves earlier. You have time to stand up calmly. You surf instead of paddling for 40 minutes.
The high-density foam absorbs impacts and falls. Zero stress, zero injury. You learn in total safety. And above all, you have fun. Because that's what counts.
Result: you catch more waves, you stay up longer, you build confidence, you progress fast. The Burger is the board that turns "surfing's not for me" into "I'm surfing this weekend".

Recommended builds: 85 to 115 kg depending on size
The Burger is aimed at surfers of 85 to 115 kg, from beginner to intermediate level (level 1.1 to 2.2 per the FFS classification).
Does this sound like you?
The Burger excels in waves from 30 cm to 1.50 m. Beach breaks, soft point breaks, small summer sessions: this board turns average conditions into a playground.
Enough volume to paddle efficiently. Enough length to glide easily and catch waves early. Stable enough to stand without effort, even when it gets a bit technical.
It's the board that gets you surfing when everyone else stays on the beach saying "it's too small today".

More than 200 surf schools in France, Spain and Morocco use our Burgers as the flagship model of their fleet. Not just one model among many. THE main model.
Why the pros trust us:
If you're a complete beginner: Burger 8'0 (97L). If you've already surfed several times: Burger 7'6 (90L) or 8'0 (97L) depending on your comfort level.
Absolutely. Our Burgers take 20-30 students a week in the schools. Well maintained, they last 5 years and more.
Burger (80-104L): for 85-115 kg. Big Burger (125-138L): for 120 kg and up. If you're in between, go for the Burger 8'6.
Yes. The Burger takes you from total beginner to a solid intermediate level. 12 to 18 months of minimum progression on each size.
No. Burgers are THE model of surf schools in France. Johanne Defay, Olympic champion, rode one. You're in excellent company.
For years we watched the same scene repeat in surf schools. Adults of 90, 100, 110 kg struggling on ill-suited boards. Paddling for 40 minutes to catch 3 waves. Falling on every take-off attempt. Eventually giving up thinking "surfing isn't for me".
The problem was never them. It was always the board.
So we created the Burger. A range designed specifically for big builds. Four sizes, from 80 to 104 litres. Enough volume to carry you. Enough length to glide. Enough width for stability. A solid build that takes the hits without weakening.
Surfing is for everyone. Including you. Stop struggling on an ill-suited board. Get the right board. Surf.

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.
