Longboard surfboard size chart

As a beginner surfer, bigger is almost always better when it comes to surfboard size. The first thing a new surfer needs from their surfboard is stability and buoyancy. As a surfer progresses along their journey in learning how to surf, there will be a number of different reasons they’ll adjust the size of their board to fit a variety of different needs.

However, it truly takes mastering the footwork and flow of linking top and bottom turns together on a longboard, for you to be ready to move down to a mid length surfboard.

Jumping down too soon can cause bad habits to stick around.
