Longboard Surfboard Size Guide
Buying a longboard surfboard?
I am looking to buy a new longboard surfboard.
My current board is 9’0” Magic Walden (epoxy). I like my board, it's fast, turns good, BUT it’s not very stable.
I am 43 years old, 6’ 2”, and 235 lbs. I am not a beginner and I do most of my surfing in S. FL. and Costa Rica.
Would you please guide me in which way to go, brand, shape, size, etc?
I thought on getting a fiberglass board this time (more stable?) and staying between 9’0” to 10”.
First of all, you should really be asking this question in shops in Florida or CR where you surf. the folks in those shops know the local breaks best, and can make good recommendations that match your size and skill level.
I don't like recommending surfboards by "Brand". For instance, Walden makes some nice sticks, but they also machine a lot of their products, and are pretty much popouts. Of course, Channel island boards are shaped on a computerized jig, so maybe I'm just a dinosaur.
My longboard is an "Allison', and I favor boards made by local shapers, who generally shape boards that are very appropriate for the breaks that you normally ride. Harbour and Stewart make beautiful, well made longboards, to name a couple. When it comes to a longboard, fiber glass is definitely more flexible and responsive than epoxy. The trade off is the weight, but it isn't that significant in my opinion.
I am 5'10" 215, and I ride a 9'4" x 23 x 2 5/8. I think what you need to add stability is not necessarily length, but width and thickness (buoyancy).
I am 56, and I ride both long and shortboards. i started on a longboard in '66 (like everybody else), and I find that width and buoyancy are big stability factors.

Bic Fish ACS Surfboard 5' 10" $279.95 The versatile Pocket Rocket is renowned as the ideal first surfboard for grommets as much as it regarded as an excellent small-wave board for accomplished surfers of approximately 45-70kg. Truly reflecting its name, the Pocket Rocket is a dynamo that offers the stability and buoyancy of a longboard with the maneuverability of a shortboard packing a lot of volume into its short length. The secret is its short, fat design that incorporates a wide nose and tail, allowing the Pocket Rocket to catch waves early for a board of its size. While suitable for small children just starting out, it nonetheless packs a punch when ridden by a more experienced surfer. When you learn to surf, there are three key elements that help you enjoy the experience of those first waves: A shape well-adapted to beginners and easy progression A strong, hard-wearing board that won't be easily damaged A quality board at a reasonable price Our ACS board range gives beginner and intermediate surfers the advantage of a tough, easy board at a budget price. Key Features of the Bic Fish ACS Surfboard 5' 10": Length (cm): 178 Width (cm): 52 Thickness (cm): 6.5 Weight (lbs/kg): 9.5/4.3 Fin set-up: FCS M-5 (Inside Foil Technology 111x115mm) Shaper: Peter Pan |
