Heads up: last board in stock
The Osmoz is our best-seller in the fish category. And for good reason: it's the perfect board to move on to a shortboard without the struggle. Born from the collaboration between Zeus and Johnny Cabianca, shaper of Gabriel Medina's boards, the Osmoz combines the safety of an EVA softboard with the performance of a resin board. A true all-round fish that forgives, while opening the door to shortboard sensations.
With its 45.3L of volume and 22 inches of width, the Osmoz generates natural speed on small mushy waves. The wide outline and fish tail give you lift and hold, even when it's soft. You catch more waves, you surf longer, you progress faster.
The twin fin setup brings that loose, flowy feel typical of a fish. Less drag, more speed, rail-to-rail turns that flow. The Osmoz pushes you to surf differently, to find your flow, to play with the wave rather than force it.
The fish isn't just a board for small conditions. It's a different approach to surfing, built around natural speed and flow. Where a classic shortboard needs power to generate speed, the fish creates its own drive thanks to its wide outline and flat rocker.
The swallowtail offers two key advantages: better water flow around each fin for more hold, and more surface for lift in soft sections. The twin fin reduces drag and frees up the tail for smoother, more spontaneous turns.
Result: you catch more waves, you surf sections you'd have let pass, and you develop a more flowing style. The fish teaches you to surf on your rails rather than pivot on your fins.
The Osmoz is aimed at advanced-intermediate surfers who want to discover the fish without taking a risk. Its generous volume and width make it the most accessible of the Bold range. It also suits teenagers with solid foundations looking for a high-performance yet reassuring board.
Advanced-intermediate (but the easiest of the Bold range)
The Osmoz is the fish that doesn't punish your mistakes but rewards your progression. A board that gives you the confidence to explore new sensations.

The Bold range comes from the collaboration between Zeus and Johnny Cabianca, shaper of Gabriel Medina's boards, world surf champion. These four models share one clear goal: to compete with resin shortboards while keeping the safety and durability of a soft construction.
Two twin-fin fish for speed and flow. Two shortboards with 5 boxes to switch between thruster and quad. Demanding boards designed for advanced-intermediate surfers with a strong technical base. The hybrid EVA croco construction provides a full anti-slip deck, tough and wax-free.
We have chosen Geodis' On Demand service to offer more flexibility.
Once the board has been shipped, you will receive a link by email and SMS to choose your delivery day. You decide the time slot, not the delivery person.
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.
