The Fliteboard is an iconic electric surfboard designed in Australia. This unique efoil jet board has a runtime of up to 90 minutes–the winner of endurance–and can support riders of up to 80kgs. This is a premium board that you’re going to have to pay for. But if you got the means, you will be pleased. Fliteboard has three models in their collection, Fliteboard Pro, Fliteboard Air and Fliteborad (standard). We looked at the Fliteboard (standard), a more mainstream model which fits for most riders. All boards from Fliteboard have two mast sizes available 60cm and 75cm, the shorter mast is more suitable for beginners and provides more stability. The larger mast is more suitable for choppier and waiver water conditions. Instead of using water cooling tubes, Fliteboard uses their own Flitebox system that combines the board attachment mechanism with electronics housing, waterproofing and cooling. It is true when they say you will never forget your first surfboard. You will rely on it to learn how to ride waves and conquer the ocean’s unpredictable nature. To have a pleasant experience with just a few falls along the way, you ought to pay attention to two factors – weight and height. Your first surfboard must have a high level of buoyancy for you to be free to make mistakes while surfing. The stringer technology should also be there in order to provide the surfboard with rigidity and stiffness required to prolong its life. Another important criterion to look for is the soft top. Surfboards with soft tops allow beginners to catch as many waves as they can while the water is still white. This encourages you to keep going snd not give up in the face of adversity. Surfboards made from foam are known to last longer than the non-foam ones due to their low weight and qualitative construction. This means that if you are just starting out surfing, a foam-based surfboard might be your best bet. Lastly, the longer your surfboard is, the easier it will be for you to practice surfing. Invest in an affordable surfboard that is at least 8-9 inches long and you will learn how to surf in no time. As a general rule, the thicker the surfboard is, the easier it is to paddle it. And, the faster you can paddle, the more waves you will be able to ride. For this reason, professionals recommend purchasing thick surfboards if you are new to the sport or are at the intermediate level. Thick surfboards won’t make you sink too much and most likely to let you catch soft waves. With that said, thick surfboards won’t turn you into a pro surfer. They hinder your performance and limit the control you have over the board. The thinner your board is, the less complicated it is to maneuver the board and allow it to ‘delve’ into the water. It won’t float as much and will abide you significantly more than a thicker board would. If your surfing skills are ready to be advanced further or you are planning on taking a more serious approach to surfing, you might want to look into a thin surfboard. The short answer to this question is yes, the length of the surfboard does, in fact, affect its stability. Although shortboards are easier to maneuver due to them creating less water-resistance, they do not provide you with the most stability. They are great for riding small-scale waves and having full control of the board but are not the best at keeping you stable when surfing. Due to the longer boards’ ability to hold a longer waterline, you can keep your balance in check for longer. The additional surface of the longboard also plays a role in making it less shaky when you are speeding up in pursuit of a wave. It is normal to be wondering whether you can learn surfing by yourself – surfing lessons are not cheap. An instructor has sufficient knowledge to teach you how to surf in less time and with fewer injuries. This is not to say that you can’t teach yourself – it is possible. It, however, is much more feasible if you satisfy some of the requirements. You have to be somewhat fit and have enough leg and arm muscle strength along with some basic balance skills. You must also know how to swim, be persistent and be ready to take it one step at a time when getting familiarized with the wild waters of the ocean of your choice. A beginner-friendly beach is also a must – you don’t want to be starting out with big waves and high currents. Before venturing out to surf, do your research and know what to expect. For instance, how much do you know about the tides and dangerous animals present in the ocean you chose to surf in? You have to know the answers to these and other questions before you enter the water with your surfboard. Choosing the right beach and surfboard is just as crucial as learning the surfing rules and etiquette. Learn how to paddle and stand before you ride green waves. And most importantly, stay safe (and ask your friends or family members to come with you if there is such a possibility). To find out why surfboards have become so expensive in the last years, we have to go back in time and look at the production changes that have been made. Originally constructed from wood, surfboards were built to last. Their cost was low due to the wood’s affordability, while their assembling took more time because the boards were handcrafted. As more surfboard-friendly materials like Polyurethane and fiberglass started to emerge, manufacturers started incorporating them more often due to their low weight and quicker assembling. The ones that have become available to the masses have increased in price but have stayed somewhat affordable compared to those made by Hawaiian local surf shops, for instance. The more authentic the surfboard is, the more it will cost you. For beginners, a surfboard made from Polyurethane makes the most sense because of its low cost and relatively high level of durability. If, however, you want to stand out in the crowd with a one-of-a-kind surfboard, be prepared to pay a couple more hundred bucks for it. If you already have a surfboard or you just bought one, leave a comment in the comment section below and share your experience with it. It has to have high buoyancy so that your mistakes are ‘dismissed’ by the ocean and a good enough speed for you to get the feel of the board-ocean connection. These are our personal favorites for beginners: Read full reviews of each beginner surfboard on DIVEIN.COM by clicking the links above. Soft top surfboards are generally cheaper than the epoxy longboards (which is good news for beginners who will benefit from them the most). They range between $300-$500 for a store-bought one and $600-$1000 for a custom model. Longboards or surfboards with the hard top (think wood, fiberglass, and foam) are on the more expensive side of the spectrum and are known to cost anywhere between $500-$1500 for a store-bought one and $1500-$2000 for a custom model. The definition of ‘the best’ can range from person to person, which is why we created this surfboard guide featuring the most highly-rated models. Here you will be able to find the option that fits your particular requirement, thus choosing ‘the best’ surfboard for you. That said, we found that the following surfboards do tend to stand out: Read full reviews of each surfboard on DIVEIN.COM by clicking the links above. Even though this doesn’t apply to those wanting to get into paddleboarding (check out our guide featuring the best SUP boards), surfboards have to be chosen according to your height. The rule of thumb states that your shortboard should be 2-6” taller than yourself, longboard – 3 feet longer than yourself, and fish board – 2-4” shorter than your shortboard.

I have a board that is orange and white it says bord and its 5″10 does anyone know what kind of board it is its signed by i cant tell if its david or Daniel Bledsoe i have searched all over Google and cant find anything please help
Hey,
If the board is made of foam and the nose is round it is a short foamy but if it is made of fibreglass it has a sharpish nose it is a shortboard. i would recommend getting a longer foamy like 7 foot which is like a standard beginner surfboard (with a round nose). but it also depends on the surfers ability.
Surfing on a skateboard is a different level of skateboarding. It does not only allow me to add some style to my rides. It also lets beach-goers practice and feel what it’s like to ride the waves. 🙂
