How to find the best longboard?

Struggling to choose the best longboard for yourself? Do not worry as Solid Surf will provide you with the perfect longboard with a concave deck. You will get a variety of pinner longboards starting from $700.

Tips to choose the perfect Longboard

• You will need to check the material of the longboard while choosing the perfect longboard for surfing. In most cases, the surfboards are made up of Polyurethane foam coated in fiberglass. You will also get them in balsa wood boards and epoxy surfboards. Try avoiding the epoxy surfboards as they are light in weight and might and might not live up to the performance if you are a hardcore surfer.
• The length of the longboards varies significantly, as it depends upon you on how you want to use them. The longer the board, the more room you need to take to make a smooth curve. If are interested in progressive surfing, use shortboards ranging from 8 to 10 feet. If you want to draw a conventional line with a focus on nose riding and crossing, then go longboards ranging from 15 to 25 feet.
• Usually, longboards are 2.5 inches in thickness. The thicker the board is the more floaty it becomes. A slender board is ideal for holding in juicy waves and also works well in steeper waves where responsive turning in tight areas isn’t as important. Wider boards are ideal for sloppy waves with a lot of flat space to turn. You can choose Globe Pinner Longboard from Solid Surf, as their boards have plant-based resins and are made up of volcanic basalt.
• Longboards with more bottom curves are ideal for nose riding because the curvature slows the board and allows it to stay on top of the water even with extra weight on the nose or tail. The board is faster with less bottom curve, but there is less play in changing your weight and making turns. You can choose the Bento Box from Solid Surf, as you can make the purchases in 4 easy split payments.

Characteristics of High-Performance Longboards

• When choosing a longboard for high-performance, try to choose a board with less volume.
• The more bottom-curve it has, the better performance it gives.
• Choosing a narrower outline in the nose and tail section will become easier to paddle and catch the waves with the longboard.
• Being an expert surfer, you can get high performance in a quad or 2+1 fin setup longboard.

Conclusion
