Awesome video and your channel is great, thanks for all the good info here! I have been surfing about 7 months. Currently riding a superfish, 35.25L, 6'3. I'm looking for something a bit more performancy, without sacrificing too much volume. I had my eye on the Pyzel Slab 2.0 and have watched your review on it, looks sweet - probably using the stock measurements for the 6'2. I'm in the Caribbean and so we're pretty much riding ankle scratchers, unless a hurricane/storm passes close by. I weigh 190lbs, and I'm 6'3. Do you have any advice please?

+Jordie Sutherland thanks for your question. If you're just learning to do turns, a thruster (tri-fin) board is probably the way to go. Thrusters are known for being user-friendly and, to over-simplify things, they tend to go where you point them. At 59kg = 130lbs, early intermediate level, you should probably be looking at boards in the 26-28L range. Check out a 5'9" or 5'10" Mini-driver, this is a versatile shape that you can keep riding as you get better. Most mini-drivers come with the option to ride 3 or 4 fins so you can experiment with both. www.realwatersports.com/surfing/surfboards/lost/mini-driver Hope this helps! -Chris REAL Watersports

Matt T - For small mushy waves you want a groveller style board. These boards can resemble fish shapes, they can be more rounded like little egg shapes, or some even resemble fat and stubby standard shortboards. For your body weight, the smallest board I would suggest for these conditions is 34 liters of volume. To make the most out of the junky days, you probably want to go closer to 36-38 liters of volume.

Samuel - thanks for your questions. So the 1-7' wave range is going to be best covered by 2-3 surfboards to have fun and progress through that entire range. Because you're still working through the novice-early intermediate phase, it's going to be best that you have a board that performs well in that lower end of the wave range, which is what you'll see at the beach most frequently. Having a board that makes practicing on these days easier means you'll progress more quickly than if you had a board that was only suited for the more rare overhead days. Based on your age, weight, skill level, and where you'll be surfing, something with a fuller outline, relaxed rocker, and ~35L volume is going to be the best call.

+mrcasiouss thanks for your question! If all things stayed the same for the shape except for the thickness, you'd likely end up with a slightly fuller rail and a board that sits only slightly higher in the water. We've been having a lot of success with choosing a board based off volume and then letting the shaper decide what the wide point should be, how the rails should be foiled, etc. Sometimes the easiest way to find the right board is to find the model that is designed for the type of surfing you want to do (punchy barrels, mushy beach break, open ocean waves etc...) and then pick up that shape in your preferred volume. Our shapers are dialing in the right outlines, rail foils etc. with their pro-teams and delivering the amazing results back to "everyday" surfers like you and me, so I personally believe it's best to choose a model and volume and let the shaper do their thing with the final dimensions!

Thanks for your question. A board around 28-30L should be a great first surfboard for you. Based on your age and background, you should choose a board that has some good performance characteristics and will allow you to progress into maneuvers and more aggressive surfing quickly.

Easy to surf board and it paddles and catches waves easily, but it's going to allow you to progress and start trying to ride the line and do your first turns.

Hello, I'm a 13 year old girl that is 5'3 and is around 55 kg. I've been thinking of buying my own longboard for a while but there is no surf shop in my local area that actually sells surfboards. I'm hesitant to buy online in case I'm not comfortable in the size, your thoughts? (I'm a beginner that lives Adelaide Australia where we hardly get big waves. I live around 30 minutes away from my nearest beach and only get to go there around once every two weeks because of school) also to you suggest surfing classes or learn by yourself?

Kimberly Smith By getting the advice of an expert you can usually get a board size recommendation you're happy with. For your weight and skill level, surfing mostly a longboard in small waves, I'd recommend something around 8ft. At your weight almost any board is going to give you proper float (as long as it has a minimum 28L volume), but an 8ft. longboard won't be too long and will be easier for a smaller person to manage in the water. An epoxy board (lighter) is going to be the best choice for you so that you have a little easier time handling the board. A good board for you to check out would be this 8'4" Robert August: www.realwatersports.com/robert-august-what-i-ride-tl-pro-carbon-8-4 We do recommend surfing lessons as the best way to get started if they are available in your area and it's in your budget. One or two lessons can give you a great foundation for moving on to practice by yourself, and sometimes 3 hours in a lesson is worth 3 months of struggling by yourself!

joe martin Yes you're good to go. Volume is the measurement you want to focus on when choosing the proper surfboard, not length. Volume determines how the board will float you so there's plenty of scenarios where a 6'6" board could have less volume and therefore float the rider less than a wide and stubby board that's much shorter. Focus on the volume and you can't go wrong! Hope this helps - Chris Stellato REAL Watersports

My $0.02 There’s really only three boards you’ll need: 1. A longboard with AT LEAST your weight in kilos in volume. 2. A fun board around half your weight in kilos in volume. 3. Performance shortboard: just go nuts with this. You’ll know what wave to ride with it and you’ll know the volume by the time you’re ready for it. There’s are very rough estimates. But for example, I’m 150lbs and been surfing a year. I use a 65L 9’2” Aipa Apex MLB for catching nearly anything. I use a 43L 6’8” Aipa Sting for small waves to overhead. But it will need some power to get on. I use a 29L 6’1” Aipa Sting when the wave has some power and I just want to dig in my rail and toss it around easily. I love that Duke Aipa can REEEEEEALLY make a shorter board that’s not too wide, with plenty of volume hidden in all the right places. If I could only choose ONE board, it would be my Fusion Sting to ride nearly any wave as long as it’s breaking.

Boards with higher rocker really fit the round shape of the wave when in the pocket but tend to bog when you're in other parts of the wave, like out in the flats (doing a bottom turn) or farther out on the face (racing towards the next section).
