Would this be a good longboard to start out with?

If I want to start surfing should I start on a longboard or can i just start on a short?

  • Ive surfed a couple times before but it was nothing big. Im 18 and I wanna start. I spending all summer at the beach and I might be going to school by the beach and I want to learn.

  • Answer:

    I totally agree with John F. there. Find a good local surf shop and ask the people that work there. They usually know there stuff, and some even offer lessons. Get some face to face advice. It will save you lots of trouble.

Start on a long board you'll look like a w-anker walking down the beach as a learner with a short board. Advance when you get bored with your long board. Short boards are a lot harder than folks think.

ER130 is right. you really should start off with a longboard or a mini mal or a fun board. it will be a lot easier than starting with a shortboard. it will also be a lot faster to learn on a longbaord. shortboards are designed for experienced riders. however, you can infact start off on a shortboard, but it will take all of your time and dedication if you want to start surfing on that thing any time soon. so if you want to learn how to surf and everything, start off on a longboard. once you get that, move on to a shortboard. if you want to learn on a shortboard, it will take a while, but with practice, you can get it. longboards are also good because you can surf in flat waves that you couldnt with a shortboard. there are also fish boards too. so your choice. hope this helps.

Start Longboarding. you'll find it alot easier, then you can make the transition to shorter and shorter boards once you feel comfortable.

The bigger the board - the easier for beginners. So longboard- borrow one from a friend or buy a really cheap one for starters. In the long run I think surfing is the way to go. Just get in the water!!

It will be easier for you to catch smaller waves with a long board in the beginning when you are just learning.
