Comparative guides on different longboard shapes (e.g., performance logs, traditional noseriders, soft tops), and advice on choosing the correct board based on skill level and wave conditions.
Learn how longboard rocker influences surfing: flat rocker maximizes speed for point breaks, while high rocker adds safety, helps turning, and prevents nose diving in chunky conditions.
Board size heavily depends on style (performance vs. traditional) and your build. Use this framework to choose a size that supports your paddle speed and maneuverability.
Compares a 9’6″ vs 9’0″ longboard to show that smaller boards excel at turning in big waves, but larger boards are necessary for noseriding on the shoulder.
Learn essential longboard design differences—rocker and wide point—to ensure your board supports cross-stepping and turning, avoiding gear that stifles progression.
Learn how to choose a longboard by comparing nose riders, high-performance longboards, and hybrids based on rocker, fin configuration, tail shape, and construction.
ompare four longboard designs—Performance Noserider, Glider, Traditional Log, and Speed Shape—to determine the most versatile board for your quiver.
Compare longboard outlines: Wide Point Back (maneuverability), Wide Point Center (user-friendly stability), and Wide Point Forward (nose support). Choose the best for your wave type.
Advice on longboard design: learn why beginner to advanced surfers need center-wide-point stability while competitive surfers require a wide-point-back design for critical turning and pocket noserides.
