longboard surfing - what you need to know

There are certain terms that might confuse a beginner, and picking out your first board might seem a bit overwhelming. A good understanding of different surf breaks and when they are most suitable and optimum for your surf ability will save you hours of frustrating beatings and no progress sessions because often you are just getting pummeled and taking a beating.

I know you probably already have one, but chances are it's not quite right. Its unique shape allows for a looser, faster board for fun on those smaller days. In case you don't know, a mal is short for malibu which is a long board with a rounded nose, usually around 9 ft long.

This will reduce the risk of muscle injury or cramp whilst you are surfing. And don't be afraid to ask the sales people in surf shops or other surfers about their experiences with different boards so you can make the most informed decision.
