New Surfboard What Style Are You In The Mood For?

Maybe it's time you give your old trusty surfboard a rest and buy another one. A new surfboard can be an exciting time for an avid surfer, but the question becomes—which one do you buy? If you plan on having your board for a while, you could always go with a customized board. However, those can be expensive and you'll have to wait while it's being built; that means more time out of the water for you. Cheap surfboards can be had if you know where to look, and they can potentially serve your needs just as well as the expensive ones will.

If you're looking for a new surfboard, it’s important to evaluate your skill level and choose a board that’s right for you. Fish surfboards are a popular choice with intermediate-level surfers who want the additional board space with added control on sharp turns and cutbacks. The retro fish surfboard, on the other hand, is a nice all-around board to have, and you can find them for low prices at some stores. This type of board is a nice transition from a longboard to a shortboard.

If you don't mind waiting and paying a little extra, go ahead and get the customized surfboard. The board will be built to your specifications, just the way you want it. Remember, it won't be finished in a few days; in fact, it could take up to three months, so hold on to that old board for a while and get some more quality surfing out of it. While fish surfboards offer more maneuverability than a longboard does, the shortboard is a great investment for advanced surfers wanting even more turning control and thrill in their rides.

Cheap surfboards are plentiful, but make sure to get one that will at least be worth using for a while. When it comes to surfboards, keep in mind that you often get what you pay for. Ask questions and make sure that when you buy a discounted new surfboard from a shop that they are knowledgeable on the subject of surfboards. Do your homework and shop around for the best price so you won't be left with a board that does nothing for you and the feeling that you wasted your money. The best board is one bought with your own skills and budget in mind.
