Different surfboards suit different levels. What you needed as a beginner surfer will be very different from what you need as you progress and start to find your own preferences.

If you are just starting out, you want something with length and lots of volume to help you learn to paddle and catch waves. If you are progressing, you want to start sizing down so you can better duck dive and start turning.

If you are more advanced, you might want different boards for the different waves you ride.

Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or expert surfer, choosing the right board for your abilities and the conditions is crucial to having a successful, fun surfing experience.

The intermediate to expert surfer is generally going to have a pretty good idea about what board they need to take out in any given wave type or conditions. The novice surfer, however, probably doesn’t have this knowledge yet and may not realize what they need.

There is no particular surfboard that is perfect for one person on all types of waves or conditions. If you are going to be surfing on a regular basis, it’s a good idea to build yourself a quiver of different boards of all shapes and sizes.

If you’re just starting out, you’re probably only going to need one good beginner surfboard. However, in no time, you’re going to advance enough to refine your surfboard choice to ensure you avoid surfing the wrong board.
