How do you distinguish the types of surfboards

Surfing itself is a chic and beautiful water sport. Surfers can stand on a surfboard or step directly into the water, buoyed by waves heading toward the shore. Especially in summer, many obese people can not withstand the high temperature and have jumped into the sea, surfing to eliminate waist, leg and arm fat, then what should we pay attention to when surfing? Surfers should abide by the rules of surfing, a person a wave, who is near the wave wall to ride the point priority to stand up, at this time in the next competing surfers quickly brake or pull the board to stop surfing; Surf to be good with diving wave technology, fighting spirit to be high, physical strength and muscle strength, usually please watch more surf videos, surf magazines, more surfing with surfing masters, more watching, nothing more on the Internet and exchange experience with good, to ensure that you will soon be able to become a surfing master; Surf the good wave shape in the middle of the crash to the two sides of the slope of the wave, dangerous and bad waves are a row of sudden collapse of the wave, at this time please shore rest, so how to distinguish the types of surfboard?

Of course, a surfboard is one of the most important pieces of surfing equipment. Before you decide to buy your board, know your surfing habits, uses and the general wave conditions in the surf location. For beginners, it is necessary to find someone experienced to help you choose a board.

Surfboards are generally divided into the following categories:

1. Shortboard: short board or small board. It is between 5 feet 9 and 6 feet 8 in length, with a sharp triangular head, low buoyancy, and needs enough thrust and well-shaped waves to play happily. It is a technical board with flexible steering and can do fancy movements.

2. Longboard: Longboard. It is between 8 feet 6 and 11 feet in length, with a semicircular shape at the head. It can play with high buoyancy, slow speed and small waves. It is suitable for Taiwan's summer wave conditions and beginners' practice.

3, Funshape/Minitank/Mini Mal: solid name, fun board, small long board. It looks like Longboard but is between 7 feet and 8 feet 6 feet long. Is in recent years to improve the Longboard, because the board is shorter than the Longboard, it has the advantages of Longboard, buoyancy, small waves can also play, but the body is slightly smaller, do not lose flexibility on the movement, very suitable for Taiwan's year-round wave conditions.

4, The Gun: Some people called the gun board, or big wave board, the length and Longboard is close to the tip of the head and tail, and the speed is fast. To hit between 10 and 30 feet. Rarely seen in use in Taiwan, the Gun's power may only be demonstrated on the eastern coast or before and after typhoons.

5, The Fish board, but may be called 'big belly board' is more appropriate, between 5 feet 6 and 6 feet 11. Basically, it is also a kind of Shortboard, and the board is usually wider and thicker than the Shortboard. When the waves go down in summer in Taiwan, because the Fish is slightly more buoyant, it will be easier than the Shortboard in the small waves. In general, the longer and thicker the board, the easier it is to use, but the more difficult it is to make beautiful moves. As mentioned earlier, everyone needs different boards, and your personal height and weight are related. Therefore, how to choose the board is also one of the necessary lessons to learn surfing.
