Helpful Gift Buying Tips

Epoxy, Fiberglass or Softboards

There are three types of Surfboard construction.
Epoxy boards are more buoyant, which makes paddling and catching waves easier. However, duck diving and turning the board is more difficult.
Fiberglass boards are the traditional way that surfboards are made, and tend to be the construction of choice for experienced surfers.
Softboards are made with a wood stringer and foam core, but instead of a hard resin, they are made with a soft Vinyl outer layer. These boards are great for kids or any beginners.

Buying a Beginner a Surfboard for a Gift

The most basic rule is "the bigger the board the easier it is to ride"
A beginner should get a board at least 6"- 8" above their height.
The thicker and wider the board is the more buoyant it will be. If you are getting a heavier set surfer a board... go longer, these boards will also be wider and thicker.
A rounded nose board will be easier to stand up on than a board with a pointed nose. The round nose offers more stability.

Buying a Stand Up Paddle Board for a Gift

The same rule applies... a bigger board will be the easiest for a beginner SUP'er.
A 10'-10'6 SUP is great for smaller beginners or those who already have surfing experience.
An 11'-12' SUP will be a good starter board for anyone else.
To use a SUP board you must have a Paddle and Traction for you board. Take advantage or our package deals. A leash is needed if the board will be taken into surf.
