[HarryMcLean1]

[InAndOutMurder]

alright so theres a right board for everyone but you didn't show how to choose like the video title states

[misskill3r]

so where i live the waves are like waist - double overhead. i was thinking of buying a shortboard, except im a total beginner.(thats the right kind of board for those waves, right?) im 5'4 and pretty light so what length is good for me? thanks to whoever answers!

[epicurus2]

blah blah what a useless guide

[littlemorecountry987]

[SaintLemons]

What's a fish board?

[whomple]

what kind of board is he holding during the video the whole time

[abginga10]

so, what is a short board used for? and what is a long board used for?

[cavallaro215]

@abginga10 it is a preference in style and ability. just look up joel tudor for an example of long board style and look up taj burrow for shortboard. you will quickly see the difference.

[AntonioR96]

@abginga10 shortboard for tricks , longboards to steal waves from the guys with shortboards

[efficientxkiller]

@abginga10 preference...shortboard is for high performance surfing

[nikeskateify]

@abginga10 a JC really good board

[boombacabacrew]

realy dude it all depends on the wave to decideing if u wana ride a mal or a shorty

hmm dicks

[obxwavesurfer]

haha plover,since when does it take skill to get off the ground

[dewi289]

Shut up on a longboard it is praticly like you see a wave and stand up Simple,shortboarding takes time to learn and when you crack it it is much more fun than a longboard

[devonsurf]

lol thats wot people that are to old and fat to ride a shortbard allways say...

[watev714]

i'm 146 lbs, and 6 foot and im just transitioning from a longboard to a shortboard but i dont know the dimmensions i should get the shortboard in. can anyone help me on that?

[OmegaPirate]

[LamarApplePie]

[oneillSurfRIDER]

[OmegaPirate]

[koekemoer03]

[SIMONEslacker]

thanks!

..im tinking about this sizes:

6'2 18 3/4  2 3/8

[SIMONEslacker]

Hi everybody! i need help

i want another shortboard...what's the right size for me?

I'm 6'0'' and weight about 154 pounds

Usually I ride from 3" to 5" of waves and I consider myself an intermediate surfer

any suggestion?

thanks

[wave1rider65]

As an intermediate surfer You should have the luxury of being able to ride boards that most people say are to small for you as well as larger boards. 154lb person no matter what height can ride anything from a 5'9 on up. Really depends on the power of the surf you are in and how agressive you like to surf. If you are more laid back then pick a larger board if more aggressive then go shorter.

[ilijas27]

i dont think you should go under six ft. maybe 6 4 depending on how thick it is, you can get a 6 2 if its a bit wider. i ride a 6 6 because i got it thin and its faster on bigger waves, i can still easily do turns and everything i want with it, i could of got a 6 2 as well but its personal preference

try riding ur friends boards because that willgive u an indication on what u need

[samrourke94]

are short boards usable for beginers

[gait2hell]

they are, but they're harder than your average longboard

[ilijas27]

probably better to get a mini mal, much faster to learn on and then you can move onto a short board later

[bruno119cc]

im 240 and riding 6.4

[xzyoudead]

i know a guy whos over 200 pounds and rides a 5'10... weight and size dont matter its the type of wave and style you ride.

[MadSound321]

wtf 82 videoas?S?S??S

[duood]

your short board is your late wave catcher........long board you get the wave early

[LifesaGardenDigit1]

To me short boards are for speed/tricks quick rides. Long boards are for taking your time, riding the waves, feeling the breeze.. comes down to what one wants to do on the water..
