If you have ever look at buying a surfboard before then you know how difficult it can be to choose the correct one. The type of surfboard you want will depend on your style and skill when it comes to surfing. In general you will find that the modern versions of surfboards range in length from five to twelve feet long.
Some people prefer to stick with a particular brand like Quiksilver, then this could also be a consideration. You will find that surfboards vary between manufacturers as they each have their own way of doing things which makes some small difference in the ride and feel of your surfboard.
If you already know how many companies make wetsuits then you can imagine how many make surfboards. Notable manufacturers include Quiksilver wetsuits and Roxy wetsuits.
Surfboards can be divided up into 3 subcategories. Shortboards, Surfboards and Longboards are these categories. If you are a beginner when it comes to surfing then you will most likely be best off with a soft board, which is more comfortable especially if you plan on falling off a few times.
Most of the time intermediate surfers will go for a longboard. Longboards offer more stability than shortboards and are made completely of fibreglass. Go with a shortboard if you know what you are doing because these surfboards are much more versatile if you can keep your balance well. A shortboard is the best option if you want to perform tricks as well.
Further influencing the riding style of the surfboard is the shape that the surfboard is. Egg shaped boards are most commonly used by beginners thanks to their greater stability than other shapes of surfboard. You won’t be performing any tricks with an egg shaped board but they are good when you start out.
A fish shaped board is another style of surfboard that can be a lot of fun for gliding around on smaller waves.
