If you’re thinking of making surfing your hobby, one of the first things you may want to think of is what type of surfboard you’re going to use. There are many different types of surf boards to choose from, each having its own advantages, disadvantages, and purposes. Here are the types you may encounter while shopping for surfboards:
The Egg, which is generally the best choice for beginners, is is a small hybrid board that is under six feet long which has a round tail shape and a rounded longboard profile. The Egg surfboard is used with smaller waves. Unlike the other types of surfboards which are designed for tricks, the Egg was given the monicker , “the fun board” because it is usually used for just having a good time.

Another type of surfboard is the Fish, which was first created in the 1970s. It is shorter than the Egg and is a popular choice for surfing smaller waves. The Fish was made very popular by superstar surfer Tom Curren.

The longboard, more popularly known as “Mal,” is another type of surfboard which is usually single finned and has a large rounded nose. This surfboard is typically anywhere from nine to twelve feet long and earned its nickname because it is one of the most popular types of surfboards for use in Malibu.

Another one is the Mini Mal, which looks similar to the longboard, but is only seven to nine feet long. This allows this type of surfboard to be much more maneuverable, and can be set up with either a three fin “thruster” or a single fin depending on a rider’s preference.

The Gun is another type of surfboard, which ranges anywhere from 7 to 12 ft in length. This surfboard is typically used in areas popular for big waves, such as Waimea Bay and Mavericks. This surfboard looks very similar to a shortboard, but has the length of a longboard.

In my case, since I’m only a beginner, I think I’m going to choose the Egg. By using this type of surfboard, I should be safe yet enjoy the waves just the same. Hopefully, the Egg will not hit “my eggs” because that would be a very painful and traumatic experience which may cause severe psychological disorder in addition to the physical pain. I’ve heard of accidents like this and wouldn’t want to get to have that experience.

Now that you know what type of surfboard is for you, you need to get into some surf clothing. Billabong clothing is my preferred line of surfing apparel. There are a lot of artistic designs to choose from. I especially like Billabong Shirts and Billabong Shorts.
