1. Define your level

• Beginner (less than 6 months of practice) : choose a stable and easy-to-maneuver board, with good volume and foam construction.
• Intermediate : Explore different shapes by adjusting the volume according to your progress and goals.
• Advanced : Choose shapes suited to your style (shortboard, fish, mini-malibu) for performance.

2. Choose the length and volume

• Minimum length : 7 feet (7'0) to start.
• Volume : choose a volume close to your weight (e.g. ~75 L for 80 kg).
• Tip : The bigger the board, the more stable and easier it is to catch waves.

3. Select the material

• Foam board (softboard) : provides stability, safety and tolerance for errors for beginners.
• Composite/resin board : more efficient and responsive but requires a good technical level. Avoid for a first board.

4. Choose the shape

• Longboard : maximum stability, ideal for learning the basics.
• Funboard/Mini-Malibu : compromise between stability and maneuverability for smooth progress.
• Shortboard : for experienced surfers looking for performance and responsiveness.

Golden Rule

• To begin with, a foam board of 7'0 or more, with generous volume and a stable shape, will help you progress quickly and safely.
