As you can see through these, a bit of a swallow tail on it, and their quite wide to the tail but narrower on the nose area. These boards are quite thick to the rail area as well, and these all perform really well in some waves at the time.

2. Learn How to Choose a Surfboard

3. Which surf board should you
choose?

4. In every successful surfing lessons, a knowledge
in choosing the right type of surfboard is a must.
Surf board design has changed over the years.
In this video we explore the following types of
surfboards:
00:00:15 - McCoy Surfboard

5. Over we have a McCoy. Jeff McCoy is a world
famous shaper. A gentleman who won world
titles in many different competitions. He
designed this surfboard and this was a
reinvention of the original single fin. So it had a
big fin but a totally different design from the
other surfboards.

6. As you can see through these, a bit of a
swallow tail on it, and their quite wide to
the tail but narrower on the nose area.
These boards are quite thick to the rail area
as well, and these all perform really well in
some waves at the time.
00:00:50 - Fish

7. This is a really user friendly surfboard and this is
what they call a fish, and this ideal for smaller
waves around the coast. For our Middleton area
this are ideally suited, got a quite wide tail on it,
also you could see the swallow V tail on it, that’s
quite wide and quite pronounce as well. and
these sort of boards perform really well in the
smaller waves.

8. These sort of design started probably from the
twin fins that I was talking about with Mark
Richards, then it evolves to having a smaller
back fin in them in a trustive
configuration. These are great board for the
really small waves around some of the coast in
Australia.
00:01:26 - Boards for performance surfing

9. The design of these board is really for high
performance surfing. So these are designed for
people who are really confident surfers and
they wanna be out and have a really
manouverable surfboard.

10. Most of the surfboards in this configuration will
probably have a rounded, square tails, so leaving
it squarer in this, So this is what we call a round
or a thumb tail, and this board here, are really
design for a really small waves around the coast
but a performance surfboard.
00:01:50 - Malibu

11. This here is a just a 9 foot in length, really
wide, a lot of thickness through the board and
really really stable. So for those who’d, those
people out there that are really struggling in
surfing,

12. I guarantee you can get up and going on to one
of these. So these are the perfect board for
those people that are struggling with getting up
on the waves and standing up.
00:02:10 - Gun

13. And lastly here, we’ve got this particular board
as you can see it’s quite narrow through the tail
and narrow through the nose and really narrow
tail on these board and it’s quite long. These
particular surfboards, as supposed to this one
with a wider tail and all these other ones, the
narrow tail on the board is really designed for
bigger waves.

14. So the narrower the tail, the less
maneuverability, so it stiffens the board up. So
with the configurations with a three fins and a
narrow tail, you can pretty well guarantee that
this is going to hold in to most waves. The wider
the tail, that looser the board and more
maneuverable. Once you start pulling in the tail
on the surfboard,

15. just makes it a bit stiffer, and hold in the bigger
waves a lot better. So as you can see from this
one, quite narrow, really pulled in the tail and
the nose, and a great surfboard for the bigger
waves.
