Thinking about getting a shortboard for your surf trip? 🏄‍♂️🌊

A common misconception is that shorter is always better, but that’s not always the case.

We often recommend boards around 6'1" to 6'6" rather than going super short. Why? It’s all about comfort and control.

Easier Glide: A bit more length and volume make it easier to paddle and catch waves. This extra bit of size helps you glide into waves more smoothly.

Better Control: Shortboards can be harder to manage if you’re not fully comfortable with them. You might end up wiggling and pushing the board, which can affect your ride. A longer board encourages you to relax and adapt, which can actually improve your surfing skills.

Choose wisely and make your surf trip experience smoother and more enjoyable.
