Choosing the Right Surf Board
When it comes to surfing, one of the most important decisions you can make is about choosing the right surf board for your style and skill level.
In this video, I walk you through one of my favorite boards — a mid-size Channel Islands shaped with inspiration from retro ‘70s designs, in addition to some other boards I really love. I love how this board combines a rounded front with a pulled-in nose and tail, giving it a smooth glide and a responsive feel. I talk about the fin setup, how the shape affects flow, and why surfing, to me, is both a science and an art. From the way we cut the foam and glass to how energy moves through water, it’s all part of the dance. If you’re curious about board design and how it connects to the wave, I think you’ll enjoy this.
