WHAT TYPE OF SURFBOARD SHOULD YOU RENT?

That depends on your comfort and safety level. If you are a beginner you might use a straight up foam surfboard in the same manner that one might use a boogie board. As you get better you might progress to a shorter or more high performance type of board. Most regular surfers use fiberglass surfboards exclusively.

​

Traditional fiberglass surfboards are hand shaped and usually custom made to order. They paddle fast and perform the best when it comes to turning and catching waves in a more vertical situation. They possess a hard rail/edge. Just imagine going snowboarding or skiing and having to use a soft snowboard or ski. It wouldn't work. It's not quite the same with surfing but pretty close. You need a hard rail/edge to turn properly.

With that said, I will make sure that you get a board suitable for your use and skill level. I've been making surfboards since I was a kid and I know surfboards.
