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.
Chuck- We can do that. And if you want a custom give us a ring.
So, I have the 9’ V2 Ultimate made from NextGen epoxy and absolutely love it! Yesterday I played around with the board by taking off the 2 thruster fins and loved how it freed up my turns (these boards are extremely versitile). My question: are there covers available for the open slots where the fins were to avoid any unneeded drag? Or do people just ride without? Thanks.
There may be covers out there but they are not needed. I would just surf it without if I were you.
