Question

In surfing what riding styles go with wich boards?

Answer 1

basically if your cruising its ur long boards and if you wanna carv its your short boards. there is alotta stuff about the type of cuts and fins you use but thats a little complicated if your just learning about riding

Answer 2

You can surf with any style board? Do you mean like a short board VS. a long board?

Short boards are easier. But you can do the same on a long board. You have never been on a board, so try a long board your first time so you can get up.

Answer 3

There isn't much that can be said about this but I can give you a couple of suggestions based on what I look for when I judge contests.  If you have a very smooth style, you can get by with a fish or very short board and score big on smaller waves.  You need to be able to throw your weight smoothly into your turns for good scores on larger waves.  If your turns are jerky, use a longer fun board with a wider tail.

Answer 4

kinda confused about this question but Hmm shortboards are usually more aggressive and fast paced knee buckling high speed cuts and turns

longboard is more of a relax vibe feel to it you youre not jumping up and down to gain speed its just a different style
