Recently, many friends who just learned to surf asked how to choose a suitable surfboard. Here are some of my experiences for your reference.

Tools/raw materials
Surf board
Methods/Steps
Weight and technology: The heavier the weight, the bigger the board. 60KG: 7.2-8.0 feet, 70KG: 7.8-8.6 feet, 80KG: 8.2-9.2 feet, 90KG: 8.6-10.0 feet. The better the technology, the smaller the board. So the novice tries to choose some bigger boards, such as those above 7.8 feet.
Unit conversion: 1 foot=30.48 cm, 1 inch=2.54 cm. For example, an 8-foot 6 board is equal to 8 * 30.48+6 * 2.54=259.08 cm. In addition, the inch to foot system is 12, that is, the difference between an 8-foot 6 board and a 9-foot board is 12-6=6 inches=15.24 cm

Wave condition: use small boards to rush big waves, and use big boards to rush small waves.

Material: mainly divided into air inflation plate and glass steel plate. The air inflation plate is mainly made of wiredrawing primer as the core material, which is cheap and easy to carry. After air inflation, it is the same hardness as the hard plate, and it is strengthened by double edge compression, so it is not easy to break and will not leak. The cost of glass fiber reinforced plastic will be higher. At present, the mainstream is to use EPS foam as the inner core, the bottom of glass fiber reinforced plastic is wrapped in two layers and three layers, and the epoxy resin is applied to make the board strong and tensile, and the board is more wear-resistant and not easy to break.

Radian: When buying boards, novices must look for those with radians. The radian trot is fast and easy to perform, which is more suitable for novices.

Plate head: The plate head part affects the appearance. A little round is more stable when riding, and a little sharp is more flexible.

The thickness of the board body: the thicker the board, the better the wave chasing. The stability is high, the speed will be slow, and the turning will be slightly difficult. The thinner the wave is, the harder it is to catch the wave. It is better to descend the wave on a steeper wave wall, but the speed is faster and the turning is easy.

matters needing attention
First you have to be able to swim
Secondly, you should practice your upper body muscles and physical strength
