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:
If you’re a grom:
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:

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.
Thanks so much for this article. Really helps out the people who don’t know much bout surfing. I am sooo naive about surfing and but I really want to ride some waves! I live in Surf City and not being able to surf to me is like living in Anaheim and not going to D-land! :P I just really want to get out of my element and into the Pacific! When I save up some money I might get the 8" long board! Maybe the pink one :)
I think so my next choice it will be a Pivot fish 6’2" ; I had star with a hobbie 9’2" then go to a fun shape 8’ ; I prefer a 23/4 thikness cause i am 180 pounds,but yes I think that will be my next choice. I like your boards!
Ultimate 9’ EPS Green Lines look like my fav….Sounds like it would be the perfect ride. Your boards are pretty cool!
i like the shape of your rocker but how do they compare in strengh, down in florida we run into alot of obsticals, peirs, rock jettys, shallows and immigrnts haha jk … im riding a epoxy al merick flyer now how do your boards compare
Whip it 6’6 Shortboard looks kick ass. I need a new board…was thinking a quad but I may have to consider this instead :)
