BUYING A SURFBOARD
You’ve made the decision to take up surfing but where the heck do you start??? Do you go for a longboard, shortboard, epoxy, poly, twin fin or tri fin?! If some of these surf terms sound like a foreign language, DON’T WORRY. It did to us too.
The good news is that by reading this guide to buying a surfboard, you will learn exactly what you need to know to get you in the water and standing on the perfect board for you in no time.
You may be asking yourself, “Why cant I just pick a board that looks cool and get out there and start paddling?” If this is you, be patient for a couple of minutes and let us explain! Our goal is to help you have fun surfing, not to get frustrated and quit.
The simple fact is that some surfboards are just more appropriate than others. To progress quickly, you need to get started on the right board. Lets talk about the perfect board for you….one that will get you into the waves, help you master the basics of paddling, standing up, and getting down the line.
