Shocking explanation- talk about stating the obvious....

This guy knows nothing about longboard style.

Crappy explanation too.

Anyone buying a longboard for the first time might also want to know that there are several styles of longboards. A big distinction is between "high performance" and "traditional" boards. Ask the guy at the surf shop about that before you pick a board.

Longboard is a great beginner board. Just as he says it has stability and gives one a nice smooth ride. Short boards are for speed/tricks and not the place for a beginner who wants to survive. Many people start out with the short boards, find they cant control it and give up on surfing. Start out with the long board and when you get good and then want more speed and tricks, move to the shorter boards.
