Length - the Length from the top of the board to the bottom of the board

　　-width - generally a wider board is more stable and a narrower board is more flexible

　　Thickness -Thickness is usually the main factor affecting the Thickness

　　The biggest influence on the design of the Rail is the steering function of the board

　　-Rocker refers to the degree of bending from the bottom of the board to the top of the board. The Rocker is larger, and it is not easy to plunge into the water when the board is in relatively high waves, and the steering is more flexible. However, if the Rocker is too large, it is easy to produce a situation that the steering is too large and not easy to control

　　-Bottom - at present, most of the design of the Bottom is Concave. Concave refers to the Concave at the Bottom of the wave plate. When water passes through Concave, it will lift the plate to increase its speed. In addition, there is a kind of Channel(Channel) plate bottom design, this kind of plate can see several deep and obvious grooves at the bottom of the plate, so that the water flow from the plate head into the more rapid discharge from the plate tail, acceleration is better but the stability is poor! In addition, Vee board bottom design is rarely seen in recent years

　　-Stringer- the middle rail of the board! Commonly called keel, the main function is to enhance the strength of the board

　　The shape of the Tail is probably one of the most important factors for a board's performance

　　Surfboard tail

　　Pintail sharp tail: the sharp tail plate provides excellent handling and stability of the board, which is most suitable for large and rolling waves! Almost all Gun plates for big waves are of this type. Generally speaking, there are few opportunities to use such plates.

　　Round Tail: small waves can also be played because the board Tail has a large area in contact with the wave surface. The design of Round Tail makes the board steering feel smooth and smooth.

　　The Roundpin Tail, which is intermediate between the Pintail and the Roundtail, responds well to medium-size waves, which range from shoulder to two-height.

　　Squash Tail: this is the general design of the short board that turned into concise and agile but slightly stiff

　　Swallow Tail: Swallow Tail is actually two pointed tails, and the board Tail has a large area in contact with the wave surface, making it a good choice for small waves. Good acceleration on waves and excellent steering flexibility

　　Bat Tail: this is a relatively rare design, but there has been an increasing trend recently! Bat tail is basically the same as Swallowtail, but adds more stability due to an extended midpoint at the tail.

　　Diamondtails are designed to be soft and square in shape, and to retain their speed

　　Surfing board

　　For many years, the fiber wars have been the "epoxies and fiberglass" wars. In general, the types of surf sheets in the market are classified as follows:

　　A. glass fiber (PU or POLY for short)

　　B. Epoxies

　　C. plastics (ABS, s-core)

　　D. foam (EVA, PP, PE, EPS)

　　E. wood (Old school series)

　　Properties of glass fiber board: elastic; Fast; The buoyancy is moderate, the board holes water will only stay on the surface

　　Properties of your EPOXY strips: light in weight; Bruise; Good buoyancy, board hole water will be the whole board is water

　　The shape and curvature of the board

　　The shape of the plate head is usually semicircle or semicircle with a sharp edge. Of course, the semicircle with a sharp edge is more flexible in steering (the more pointed the plate head is, the more flexible it is in steering).

　　The board of the warping flat board because it has more contact area with the water surface, so it is easier to be driven by waves, so its speed will be faster, but the steering is not flexible; The more the board is tilted, the more flexible it is, but the slower it is.

　　About the weight

　　Board weight: too light board only means it is easy to take, but not strong and easy to break the board, the following is the size of the board and weight control, provide reference

　　Under 6ft 4in: about 3.8kg

　　Under 7 feet 2: about 4.5KG

　　Under 7ft 8in: about 5.2kg

　　Under 8 feet 1: about 5.6KG

　　8 feet 2: about 5.9KG

　　9 feet 0: lighter 6.8kg, standard 7.3kg, stronger 7.8kg

　　10 feet: about 7.5KG

　　SUP 11 feet: about 8.5KG

　　How to choose the right equipment?

　　If you are a pure beginner surfer, the best thing to do is to borrow a surfboard from your surfing friends or rent one. If you're new to surfing, don't even think about having a small, stylish board, an expensive wet suit, or any other equipment. There are two good reasons. First, you may find that you don't like surfing. Secondly, for the novice, the right board is often not small and light.

　　For beginners, the big board is more appropriate, you can take as much as you want. Understand? Bring a board that is at least 8 feet long, or better yet, 9 feet or more. If you can get a foam texture that's even better. Now in the Chinese market, you can also buy a lot of beautiful long boards.

　　You don't have to think about the short board. Short boards are just one type of surfboard and can only be used in certain situations, not all the time. The long board is the classic surfboard, the traditional style that most surfers have been using for decades. It was only in the 1970s that a shortcoming was devised.

　　During the first few days of training, using a large soft board (also known as a practice board) will ensure that you can catch the waves more easily, and during the first few days you will keep falling on or being hit by the board. So if you go to the beach you might as well get a coach and make sure you use a soft board. It's for your safety. Remember, surfing isn't just chasing big waves like you see in the movies. Who knows, maybe one day you will really find yourself a gifted extreme surfer. But more often than not, surfing is a pleasure, allowing you to be safe with friends in the ocean and experience the fun of the ocean and nature.

　　To quote Duke Kahanamoku of Hawaii, The founder of modern surfing, : "The best surfer is The one who enjoys more when in The water!
