HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BOARD

STEP 1: 

Identify your surfing level, using the descriptions below.

• Advanced: Surfers linking multiple manoeuvres consistently with good power, speed & control.
• Intermediate / Advanced: Surfers linking small multiple manoeuvres with less consistently, reasonable power, speed & control.
• Intermediate: Progressive surfers competently trimming on the wave face & developing small manoeuvres with limited consistently, power, speed & control.
• Beginner: First time & part time surfers performing at a basic level catching white water & small unbroken waves.
