Before they make their way down to the beach, surfers always want to know what board to take from their quiver. whether it be a longboad for those sloppy days or a shortboard for those fast hollow days. if your that surfer who is lucky enough to have a quiver of boards, its probably best if you check the wave conditions before leaving your house. A key aspect to choosing the right surfboard for the day would have to depend on how the waves are shaped. A longboard is considered 9' or bigger and is suited more for the gentle waves, where as a shortboard is suited more for a bigger and powerful wave. Boards also come with many different tails which increase performance for that specific board. the rear end of the board is called the tail; and tails come in many different shapes such as a thumb tail, swallow tail, bat wing, retro swallow and many more. Many of these can be seen at the link below, check it out.
