board
Hey, I was looking to get into surfing, and was wondering what type of board i should look for. I will be surfing in mainly small waves. I saw a 6'2 board for sale for cheap, would this board be ...
i think a good eight footer. maybe a hydro hull from Stewart. go to their website. an eight foot board will help you gradually get down to a shorter board for bigger waves. just less board to manueuve...
... kid surfing. When my grom was little, he started on a sponge and really enjoyed it. I did push him on a board a few times to get him used to it, but let him go at his own pace. When he was ready, I g...
If it was a custom board you swindled by a shaper who doesnt give a RatzAzz about you.
If you bought it off the racks, then .....I dont know what to say there... your fault, the shops fault, fault...
...dhere at all to the polished epoxy surface...too bad. I've already proved the sea-worthiness of the board and noted no water intake, so i continued with the spray painting, wich showed to ...
Have you ever thought about just riding waves with your surf boards instead of cute ways to store them? Geez, next you'll promote vasoline as a convenient way to slip surf boards in and out of bo...
just slapped together some digipics i took when it came home from the glasser. of course now it's been ridden just after i stepped in some El Porto tar so it has black blotches all over it. oh we...
Aloha GB,
Pretty big board even by my preferences..............close to Kareem's board.
But if you work it and learn to surf it you will take your skills above the moderate range. That�...
A new longboard would run $600 here easily, the best I can get right now is $300(for a bic...) Ordering is atleast $100 just for the shipping of a board. Then I have to pay taxes for the board. Howeve...
That may be your problem, is this a kneeboard or sponge?
Even on a relatively short board, the end of the board should be near your feet. Certainly no farther than your ankles. If your knees are a...
hey all a few months ago i picked up a board 6 foot 4' long. I haven't surfed much before, and i had a lot of trouble getting started. Yep, you guessed it, i'm almost as tall as my boar...
Whiny shortboarders who can't paddle. That, or troll bait.
Any board which is riding more waves than the whiner's board.
Actually, fins have everything to do with how a board handles. Before I started Surf Check back in 96, I was working on a fin system that allows the outside fins to be adjusted. To test my theory, we ...
My best friend has a Skip Frye balsa board. It's never been ridden, though. It's hanging on the wall in his dining room. A very pretty board it is.

if this was a few years ago, i'd probably be more inclined. my board has since taken tons of abuse from my friends who don't surf. it still has sentimental value, though. i've got some ...
Sweet gouge!!! Talk about throwing some spray!
Sorry to hear about the new board, but I think its about time you get a decent glass job...An extra pound of board isn't going to throw your sty...
i took my 9'6' jr board out yesterday and it seems the local navy was doing helicopter excercises near ocean beach. I got really concerned when on two seperate occasions during the session t...
...M-BB. The width thru the tail and volume will help on the Gulf. If your moving up in size from a smaller board, you'll enjoy how easily the board picks up waves.
I'm of the opinion, FWIW...
...ash' will actually get people to read it.... but whatever...
Thought.... have you just had your board repaired or got a new one? If you don't wash a dusty board really really well before...
Small world. He borrowed a board paddled back out.
I was the guy at the top of the steps that asked you how long your board was right before you went out. How was your session at the point?
Yo...

Thanks for the real deal. A couple questions:
In the video, was there concave in the bottom of the board you were riding? With 'squirt' like that off the bottom, I'm guessing ...
Dude,
I think the rule of thumb is ,the shorter the board the more fins ya need. So if you have a 5ft board ya need about eight fins.LOL m/ (ö¿ö )
i am taking a surfboard shaping class at my school. we need to figure out what kind of board to shape. i am starting with a 8'4" blank and want some kind of "mini longboard thingy"...
