No longer do you paddle out in the water and only see a bunch of guys surfing. The beaches are running rampant with female surfers, and their presence is being felt! Many gifted women are joining the ranks of the men as some of the best surfers in the world. These women are making surfing an even more exciting sport to be a part of, as they demand respect in every competition they enter.

Choosing a Women's Surfboard

The first step in determining the right women's surfboard for you should be based on your experience level. The most popular beginner boards are the funshapes and mini longboards. These shapes provide easy paddling, and a stable board to learn to ride on. For those women that have spent some time in the water, you'll either want our performance shortboard or longboard, based on your favorite style.

Volume

Knowing the volume of your sup is important in that it relates to your weight and what amount of volume is required to support your weight.

The metric system tells us: 1 liter of volume will float 1kg of weight.

However the amount of volume needed is relative to weight & skills. Thus we multiply a Skill Level Factor x our Weight in kilograms to get a recommended Volume in liters.

Skill Level Factor for Beginner = 2.0

Skill Level Factor for Intermediate = 1.7

Skill Level Factor for advanced = 1.3

Use this simple formula to find your target volume

(your weight in lbs x .44) x Skill Level Factor = Target Volume (Liters)

Example: You are a beginner looking at boards and you weight 195lbs. What volume is right for you?

(195lbs x .44) x 2 = 175

Board Volume (Liters) = 175

If you are a beginner rider and you weigh 195lbs. Your board should have a volume of at least 175 Liters to support your weight.

Suggested Weight

We use the boards volume to compute how much weight each board can support for a given skill level.

These are general suggestions and other factors such a width and thickness determine how the board will support your weight.

As an example:

The 9'6 Classic has 127 liters of volume.

The suggested weight chart shows:

As a beginner your weight should not exceed 141 lbs

As an intermediate rider your weight should not exceed 166 lbs

As an advanced rider your weight should not exceed 217 lbs
