Surfboards and surf accessories

Longboard surfing has made a comeback in popularity over the last ten years from its older roots. Longboard surfboards typically refer to surfboards that are greater in length than nine feet although longboards for women are often in the 8′6″ range as well. Riding a longboard can be described as an experience where the surfer is gliding down the wave. With shorter surfboards the surfer is accelerating by working the wave top to bottom to gain speed and keep afloat, where the longboarder is trimming and gliding with the wave. The longboarder embodies grace in the surf where the shortboarder seeks more radical movement.
