What are the dimensions of the surfboard will be optimal?

Once this item was in the first place. Now it seems that it moves to the very end of the list. So, determined for any conditions and what level you need a board, which it should be in volume, you need to choose its size.
You should know that a narrower board will be faster, and wide more smooth and stable. Turns on narrow boards are easier, but turns on wide require the right technique, which means that the skill is cleared. The longer boards have more surface - even a small wave accelerates better, at the same time short boards give a rider to the scope of maneuvers on a big wave.
What material will my projectile be?

Checked and already classic surfboards are made of polyurethane (PU / POLY). They are sufficiently light and in moderation durable. If you are not ready to experiment, then your choice can be stopped on these beautiful surfboards. Nevertheless, alternative technologies on the rise, the boards are obtained easier, durable and "elastic" in turns. Alternative structures use recycled foams, environmentally friendly materials and resins. The main goal of these technologies is to make the board as easy as the board about the level and more durable than the standard PU / POLY.
Now their price is higher than that of polyurethane boards, but skating on them is what is addictive.

What is your skiing level?

A beginner sector needs only one board on which he will be able to advance from "I got up for the wave for the first time." To a certain level, where there is already progress in Catania. To do this, it is important to choose a stable board with a large volume. For most people, the dimensions of this boards around 7-8 feet and 22 inches width and 3 inches thickness.

Softboard is a good option for a beginner, since these are floating and stable boards. They are quite voluminous, they are easy to rake and get into the wave in the forefront.
Valted width and thickness in combination with a common circuit on these boards (wider, round nose and a wider tail) provide greater stability when trying to stand on the wave.
After you understand the basic principles of riding, you can switch to fiberglass decks and begin to reduce the size and look for a new design according to your abilities and skiing conditions.
Having answered the main questions, you can choose exactly the surfboard that you need. Decide with your level, imagine on what waves you will ride and select the appropriate board design. Then compare its volume with its weight, find the optimal solution and decide on the dimensions of your future "projectile". After you will only decide whether it will be a classic polyurethane surf or you need new alternative more expensive technologies.

How to choose a surfboard
What surfboard is suitable for you? We have prepared an instruction that will help to figure out.
Once upon a time there were only two types of boards on the beach: Longboards and Shortbords. And since all the boards have similar characteristics, in order to choose a surfboard, it was enough to just find their "length".

Now the surfboards create different shapes: longboards, shortbords, hybrids, fish, retro, twin and others. Previously, the 20-inch shortboard was the widest, now 23 inches is new 20. The same with the thickness. Rarely it was possible to see the projectile more than 2.5 inches. Now there are 3+ and less than 2.

So long is no longer the most important indicator. The choice based on the length of the surfboard in the past.

What kind of design do I need a board?

The first and most important way to drop unnecessary options is to understand for what level of riding and under what conditions you need a sample and choose the most appropriate shape (Shape). Little waves, big waves or can there be a board for a single journey with a paddle along the coast? If you can honestly answer yourself, it will allow you to throw 75% of options and choose from several. The design of the board, its form is the most important thing.

Design will give a full list of dek performance characteristics. Now there is a huge selection even within one category - forms.
Here are some examples why design is the main and first selection criterion:

1. Beginners need such design decks so that it is easy to row and catch the waves. This can be anything: from more flat hybrids with a rocker to fanbords and longboards (these are three different basic types of design.
2. Experienced surfer looks at the shortboard for small - medium waves. Which to choose?
3. You need a board that will reveal the entire potential of a small, but very ruthless surf.
Go to the conversation about the design of Deci. Some designs have less volume because they have wide tails or deep conques to create lifting power. Other more volume for rowing and flat lower shape to relieve turns. The design of the board must be a defining factor before moving in choosing to the following parameters.

Here are some characteristics that will help with the choice of sampling design:
A flattering rocker for flat facing waves.
Steep rocker for hollow lush waves.
Wide noses and a flattened clock (rocker) of the nose make the rowing and catching the waves much easier. Even if you compare with a simple addition of the length of the board or volume.
Wide tails create more lifting power and speed, but riding them in short, than on boards with conventional tails.
Narrow tails create a smaller rise, during turns the board sits deeper in water. This is suitable for higher speeds and big waves.

How to choose SUP Bard, SUP Surfboard?
If you are reading this article, then it is definitely interested in Sup surfing and you are standing before a serious choice, which board to take and what they are all different, because for frequent variation of prices is very large (from 30 thousand rubles to 120 and higher). The basic selection criteria of the board will be the following: its size, form, composition of materials, as well as load capacity and various additional accessories. In addition, you should decide on exactly what you want from surfing from SUP, as there are various types of Sup boards, from children to racing, but a little later.
Sup surfing with an oars is very multifaceted, you can enjoy a calm relaxing walk on the lake, or for example, catch the waves in the ocean, and maybe you are interested in yoga, or you would like to participate in races or in long-term alloys. Regardless of your ambitions, the right board is the key to your pleasure!

Key components SUP boards
This includes the main criteria, such as:

- Board Case Shape
- Width of the board
- Board length
- Thickness of the board
- volume and weight
- Nose Rocker
1. Board form
The design of the SUP case can be complex science comprising complex hydrodynamics that goes beyond this article. Nevertheless, it is important to understand that there are two main forms of SUP boards, the rest of the boards have hybrid forms that combine the best qualities of two main forms.

The first shape of the hull is wider and more flat plaques that have excellent stability and versatility. Such a board is easily moved along the water, the user can easily perform various types of maneuvers. The type of such a housing is ideal for surfing, yoga and everyday leisure in the form of walks on water.
The second shape of the body has a narrow and at the same time a V-shaped bottom, intended for water cutting than good for speed, but potentially sacrificing stability. The board will be good in such disciplines as racing, touring, campgrounds and other types of active fitness disciplines, where efficiency and speed are especially needed.
2. Hire board
Despite the fact that when choosing a bit of a board, it is necessary to take into account a number of efficiency factors, the width will always be the most key characteristic. As a rule, the wider the board, it is more stable, but at the same time wide boards are much slower, so the riders are usually narrow models that are inferior in stability and stability, but there are no equal in speed. Therefore, it is worth identifying for yourself rightly what exactly you want to get from surfing, maximum speed or maneuverability and based on this data already choose the width that will be comfortable for you. If speed and maneuverability are not very important for you, and the stability is the most valuable attribute, then a wide board is your choice. As a rule, SUP boards are produced by a width of 62 cm to 90 cm.
Reflecting what width still choose, you can rely on three key points that we have allocated for you:
1) Usage: If you are going to make long trips with a lot of baggage, select a wider board to have more storage space, as widely SUP will be relevant if you are engaged in sup yoga, giving you more space for action and stability. On the other hand, narrower boards are faster and maneuvering, which makes them an excellent choice among riders and surfers.
2) Build: Try to compare the width of the board with your physique. Simply put, if you are a small physique you can do the closer board and vice versa, if you are a big man, you need a board with a greater width. This is explained by the fact that if for example a little man put on a very wide board, it will be difficult for him to keep the balance by performing movement in the water, which will affect the small efficiency of rowing as a whole.
3) Skill level: everything is simple, if you are new, your balance is not very developed, respectively, your choice falls on a wider model. And accordingly, if you have long been familiar with the sup board and feel great on the water, then for greater maneuverability and speed you can choose the board with a narrower form.
