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.
