Beginner Surfers | Learn Faster On This Surfboard 

This can really be a game changer for people!

So sad I dont get that kind of wave in my usual beach break...

Got a catch surf 8’ log and it’s my first soft top. It’s amazing can’t wait to get back out in the waves.

I am trying to decide whether my next board should be either: a foamie (I’m stepping down) or a long board (at least 9’ 4”). Foamies are cheaper and I won’t need to take great care of it. A long board, I will be too tempted to buy a custom made and spend lots of money. Also I need to reorganise the garage so that a long board will fit. A few surfers told me that they have stepped back to a foamie. I currently own an Al Merrick Pod 6’8” x 21 3/4 x 3”. It’s over 6 years old. Sometimes I struggle on that board due to lack of surfing time, injures, etc.

True I learned on a 8'2 wrk fun shape. 1+2 fins. Mine was old school fiberglass. I strongly recommend staying away from epoxy

Generally speaking, the larger, longer boards with higher flotation (volume) and thicker rails are the easiest to learn on. The drawback is that they're slower, bulkier, and not as adept at cutting angles. It's best to find a board you can learn on and grow into more advanced boards.

Took me a long time to get over the stigma of riding big boards but once I got a bigger board it opens up the ability to ride what would be unsurfable waves on a shortboard.

YES! I purchased my 10 foot foamie used on Craigslist for $160 USD.

Great video! I’m currently riding a 7ft foamie and want to progress to a different board! What do you reckon? A fish type board? I’m not sure what length of board either. Let me know if you can help! Cheers

I can buy a used 8-10 foot foam board for around 20-40 dollars here in Japan, is there anything to look out for on used boards?

Decent music

Can I just get better waves?? My break is a critical and peaky beach break that only lines up on my backhand when the surf is too big for my current skill... Broke my neck getting sent over the falls due to this hollow nature last week in 1m swell. 🤕

Lol, i was going to say the same thing, we just don't get that perfect type if wave here.

How to surf Florida 1. Watch surf videos 2. Get longboard 3. Paddle out into washing machine 4. Eventually paddle into breaking wave 5. Pearl so hard, snap back on sandbar 6. Watch videos of people on beautiful waves from the hospital 🥰
