Surfing is more popular than ever and picking for your first board can be very confusing.
Lucky for you , I'm here to make it simple and easy!
Your first board should be easy to paddle and very stable! You must walk before you can run! For surfing paddling before you can ride! On the right board you should be able to slide across the ocean. A couple strokes should glide you at least 10 feet. If not your board is too small! Heres my professional set up for training new surfers.
These are the best boards to learn on , soft but rigid forgiving on your body and safer in case of a collision. Also these boards are responsive, fast and stable while riding waves!
