Frequently Asked Questions About Our Longboards

What size longboard should I get?

Pick a size based on your height, weight and surf ability. Most beginners do best with a 9’0”–9’6” longboard for stability, paddle speed and forgiveness. Experienced riders may downsize for more control and responsiveness.

Are longboard surfboards good for beginners?

Yes — they’re excellent for learning. Longboards make it easier to paddle, balance and catch waves, and many surfers continue riding them for life thanks to their smooth, stylish feel.

What’s the difference between a longboard and a shortboard?

Longboards are longer (usually 9’0”+), wider and more stable, built for glide, noseriding and flow. Shortboards are smaller and more responsive, designed for quick manoeuvres in steeper waves.
