Surfboards
Surfboards for all levels and waves
Here you’ll find surfboards for anyone looking to get the most out of their time in the water, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced surfer. We offer a strong selection of surfboards suited for both local conditions and trips to warmer destinations, so you can choose a board that matches your level and the waves you surf within surfing.
The right surfboard makes it easier to pop up, maintain speed, and improve your technique. Consider where you mainly surf, how often you’re in the water, and whether you want one all-around board or want to complement your quiver with a more specialized model within water sports.
How to choose size, shape, and material
The board’s volume, length, and shape have a big impact on how stable and responsive it feels. As a general rule, more volume offers easier paddling and better stability, while less volume and shorter length allow for faster turns and more responsiveness but require stronger technique.
Pay close attention to these factors when choosing a surfboard:
- Level and experience Beginners should go for a longer board with higher volume, while experienced surfers can size down for greater performance.
- Weight and height The heavier you are, the more volume you need for the board to float properly and catch waves early.
- Wave type Small, slower waves call for more volume and width, while steeper waves can be surfed with narrower and shorter boards.
- Board type Longboards, funboards, shortboards, fish, and softboards each have their own advantages for different styles and conditions.
- Material and construction Traditional PU/EPS with fiberglass provides a classic feel, while soft-top and more durable constructions can handle heavier use.
For beginners and intermediate surfers, softboards and funboards are great, safe choices that offer extra stability and cushioning. More advanced surfers often prefer lighter boards with sharper rails for improved control at both the bottom and top of the wave.
Use scenarios, safety, and practical tips
For an American coastal surf experience, a board with good volume and a wide nose is a clear advantage, making it easier to catch slower waves. If you’re heading to spots with stronger and more powerful waves, a narrower shortboard or performance fish will give you better control and speed.
Also, keep safety in mind when making your choice. A board with rounder rails and a soft-top is more forgiving during collisions, especially in crowded lineups or for complete beginners. Always use a leash of the right length and check the fins and edges for damage to avoid sharp or frayed spots.
To be confident you’re making the right choice, start with your current level and the conditions you surf in most, then pick a surfboard that makes it a little easier, not harder. That way, you’ll enjoy more great rides per session and progress faster—whether you’re catching your first waves or perfecting your maneuvers.
