Surfing is an essential product of surfing, in order to surf more secure stimulation, then you have to choose a good surfboard, then how to choose a surfboard surfing, playing a wonderful surfing.

How to choose surfboard

A, Longboard

Long board - 8 feet in length between 6 to 11 feet, the head of a semicircle, buoyancy, slow, small waves can play. Suitable for beginners. More suitable for use in Qingdao.

Two, Shortboard

Short board, small length between 5 feet 9 to 6 feet 8, the head of a sharp triangle, the buoyancy, thrust, shape good enough to wave to have fun, which belongs to the technical board, flexible steering, do fancy moves.

Three, fishboard

Fish plate, may be called "belly board" is more appropriate point. Length 5 feet to 6 feet between the, basically is a kind of Shortboard, the length of the board and the short board of the mixture, the length of the short board, the thickness and width of the plate, fish tail. Because of the buoyancy of the Fish is slightly larger than the Shortboard in the small easy.

Four, soft board

Surfboard pure foam, strong safety, without the size limit, suitable for beginners experience, teenagers.

Five, The

Gun plate or large wave plate - length and Longboard close to the tip of the tip, narrow and long, the fastest. Big waves for 10 feet to 30 feet, like the waves in Hawaii. Rarely seen in use, may only have a chance to show the power of the typhoon before and after the Gun.

1 center of gravity

The center of gravity (3:7) (6:4) (4:6) (5:5) (7:3)... The greater the proportion of the center of gravity in front, the easier the next wave, but the relative flexibility of the board is the worse, the best choice for beginners (4:6) or (5:5) to practice.

2 length

The difference is the length of the board. The board can take more long more early but relatively longer the steering board flexibility is worse for the beginner, long board buoyancy, good stability and is easy to learn to use the drawback is that when the waves are too big, beginners will slip out.

3 width

The wider the stability of the surfboard is higher, the relative speed is slower, the narrower the steering flexibility, the better the beginner to a wider board is more suitable.

4 plate head

The general board design from the tip to head, pointed in front of lighter, better flexibility in technology are round in the front area of this kind of large buoyancy is relatively large, so beginners buy the first board, it is best to use the round plate.

5 panel

Standing on both feet, the general will be marked with non slip wax or paste anti-skid pad, so that the board is easier to control.

6 amplitude (Alice)

Plate head a little bit, when the next wave is not easy to plug in water, but too Alice is meaningless.

7 thickness

The thicker the buoyancy surfboard more stand up, the disadvantage is when the waves are too big, beginners will slip out.

rudder

Surf board must be used in conjunction with the rudder, rudder has a single, three or five. Longboard usually use a single larger Snglefin, other boards with three Trifinsystem, which is also the emergence of the five chip in the past one or two years. The board of the rudder is now more than the use of patented FCS (FinControlSystem) FCS, easy to replace and travel, but the early fixed (Glass-on) has also been popular surfing master, the strength of the waves in a better than.

Foot rope

This is the only way to guarantee your surfing life safety of things, when you fell into the water (wipeout), it can be found with your surfboard, and your board will not be as washed to the shore or to other people, so you have to rely on in the sea, with slightly longer length of the board. Now the foot rope is also divided into different wave conditions need to have the thickness of the design, usually double bearings (doubleswivels) than a single bearing is good, not easy to wrap.

Wax block

The wax play on the board, can increase the friction plate body of the human body, can let you in on board more stable, will not fall! Four seasons temperature changes a year, according to the change of different properties of the wax, a bottom wax (basewax), cold water, warm water ((coldwater) warmwater) Hou use and tropical gas (hot/tropicalwater).

clothes

Wetsuit- wetsuit is a kind of synthetic rubber (neoprene) to do, if you want to surf time in cold weather is Shilang better, you need a wetsuit. Material, thickness (3mm-5mm) and the length of the different cold hardiness is also different. Short sleeved lightweight, called shorty or springsuit.

Anti abrasion coat

Even if the water temperature is not cold, surfers will wear a coat, or a long time with the board friction is not very comfortable. Other benefits of anti wear: Waterproof mother, warm and sun protection, a fit of anti wear, absolutely worth investing.

Non-slip mat

If you don't want to in the entire board above the waxing, you can put this thing, people usually put a mat in the small tail, it is better to control the board doing tricks.

Boardbag

Most of the damage to the surfboard is mostly in the process of handling, the surfboard bag is the need to fill out the east you do not accidentally hit the place. In general there are two bags, bags of single or double sheet daily and up to 6 pieces of travel bags. Travel with the protection of thick, to prevent the airport workers to trample on our precious board.
