Surfboards: A Guide for Beginners

by Melinda Paradise

There are lots of different sizes and shapes of surfboards, almost all of which can be boiled down into 3 main classes. The kind of board you select will dictate how you are going to catch a wave, and thus should be selected primarily based on your experience level and the dimensions of the waves you will be riding.

For beginners, usually the first stop is the longboard (7 to 12 feet). One of the longboards commonly used by beginners is a soft-foam construction, as opposed to fiberglass or epoxy. This increases buoyancy and helps the surfer catch his or her first waves. Longboards are generally good for smaller waves and their volume allows surfers to ride these waves much longer.
