foamie

Soft foam board

A foamie is a surfboard or bodyboard made from soft foam rather than fiberglass, designed for beginners or casual use: I learned on a foamie before upgrading to a real board.

The foam construction makes them safer for learning and more forgiving of mistakes.

In model aircraft circles, a foamie is a plane built from foam materials.
