Shortboard

A shortboard is a type of surfboard designed for high-performance surfing, typically ranging between 5’4” and 6’4” in length. It features a narrower and thinner profile with a pointed nose, allowing for greater maneuverability, speed, and responsiveness on the wave. Shortboards are ideal for experienced surfers seeking to perform advanced tricks and sharp turns. Their design emphasizes quick acceleration and agility, making them suitable for surfing more powerful and steep waves. Due to their size, shortboards require skill to handle but offer the most dynamic ride of all surfboard types.
