Surfboards: Beginner to Advanced, What's the Right Board for Your Unique Situation

The surfing world is not like the clothing world… one size does not fit all, everybody is unique. Beginners need something different than what an advanced surfers needs. Here are some of the shapes and categories we have that you might… or might not, fit into.

 

BEGINNER SURFERS

Ultimate Longboard

Beginners need stability and easy paddling. But beginners also don’t want to buy a “beginner” board only to have to buy another board right away because they grew out of their first one. Super lame.

Good news though! We have a great selection of boards that are both stable and easy paddlers but will allow you to progress and improve as your skills get better. Chicks like guys with skillz… sorry Napoleon Dynamite jumped into my head.

What I am trying to say is that if you’re new to surfing… we got ya covered.

Here are a couple of surfboard suggestions if you’re in that new and fun world of just starting out. Size is going to depend on height and weight:

Ulitmate Longboards

Ulitmate Mini Longboards

If you’re a grom:

Poacher Funboard

Intermediate Surfers

This is where 80% of surfers are, but because of that, it makes it very tough to know exactly what you’re after. We have created a huge line of surfboards specifically for you.

We have awesome longboards that are super maneuverable and we have some that are insane nose riders. We have boards for those of you that are transitioning down from a longer to shorter board that are a happy medium of elements to make your transition smooth.

We also have an awesome range of fishes and first time shortboards. We even have quirky boards for those of you just looking for something different.

The intermediate surfer is where the heart of our line resides and we have gobs of choices of you. If you have a hard time figuring out what you want give us a call and we’ll help you out.

Here’s some of our more popular boards for intermediates:

Longboard-

Ultimate

Ladle

Transitioning-

Jack

Fish-

Codfather

Shortboard-

T-9

ADVANCED SURFERS

We Do Custom Boards

There aren’t a bunch of you out there, but there are a few, and the advanced surfers typically know exactly what they want.

For you guys you’ll be happy to know that all of our shapes rip and have been tested by guys that rip also.

So take a look around our site. Look at the videos and pictures. I promise you’ll like what you see. And if you can’t find what you’re looking for, we can always do a custom surfboard for you.

We have one of the largest selection of surfboards available online, so check us out, go ride one… you won’t be disappointed.

    great article on surfboard levels and types. i’m a big guy at 6-5 and learned to (stand up) surf on a sup, originally coming from surf kayaking (sitting). i think the 10’ blue/grey looks like a great board, sporty design too, like the racing stripes. we surf freighter waves here in puget sound near seattle, so waves aren’t that big or powerful, need a long board for support and speed to catch the wave. rc

    Which coast you’re on can make a difference, too. I heard it put well years ago. On the west coast you use your speed to create maneuvers, while the east coast surfer performs maneuvers to create speed. For me , the Fish takes care of it all.
