What Size Surfboard Do I Need?

The choice of surfboard size depends on several factors.

The first is ability, and the second is time in the water.

Generally speaking, the larger the board is, the easier it is to catch wind and waves.

Take a look at the table below to find out the minimum size you should consider for surfboards.

General guidelines

Novice surfers need larger surfboards than skilled surfers.

Surfers who surf occasionally need larger surfboards than surfers who surf regularly.

A surfboard that is too small will hinder the progress of the surfer and may cause frustration.

Short board size.

Please note that the following dimensions are for reference only.

If you are still unsure, buy a slightly larger one than suggested below.

The size of the surfboard is still in imperial, so it is feet and inches.

Funboard size

Funboard is more suitable for people who are just starting to surf, and is an ideal choice to start surfing directly.

You still need to make sure that the surfboard is large enough to accommodate your weight and surfing ability.
