I am a beginner and surf with a long board.?

Question

If i practice almost 2 hours everyday how long will it be before i upgrade and i am able to ride a shortboard?

Answer 1

what do you mean upgrade. longboarding is pure surfing and just as much fun as a short board if not more fun.

Answer 2

it will be when you feel comfortable enough to move up once you can turn on your longboard and rarely fall your probably good enough to shortboard

Answer 3

Shortboarding and longboarding are two different categories. It depends on preference which you choose. You're not necessarily using the longboard as a beginner step to a shortboard. I shortboard just because it's easier and has more options. I can hardly do anything on a longboard, but some people much rather prefer longboarding. Try a shortboard--you should do fine. It's not a matter of upgrading though.

But if you're talking about just going to a shorter board then get a shorter board once you feel totally comfortable on your longer board. If you go shorter but feel wary about it, thickness in a board also helps make it easier. So, watch out for that. But really...you can go shorter whenever you want. It just takes practice with the shorter board.

Answer 4

well changing board types can sometimes be a little different but i got a board by barracuda its called the hybrid charger and it is has the catching of a long board with the responsiveness of a short board

Answer 5

Until you learn not to fall
