Shortboard or mid length, which one should you be riding?
It all depends on your ability, the conditions, and what you actually want to get out of your surf.
In this video Max from Hand Laid Eggs, surf coach turned shaper based in Cornwall, breaks down the real differences between shortboards and mid length surfboards, who each one suits, and how to match your board to the waves you're actually surfing in the UK.
What we cover:
What actually separates a shortboard from a mid length
The four types of shortboard - high performance, groveller, everyday, and twin pin
What types of mid length are out there and which conditions they suit
What skill level you need to ride a shortboard properly
How to match your board to the conditions on any given day
The UK surf problem with going too short too soon
What a high volume shortboard is and whether it's right for you
When a mid length is always the right answer
Whether you're an intermediate surfer thinking about going shorter, an improver wondering if a mid length is right for you, or someone who's been riding the wrong board for years - this video will help you make a better decision about what's under your feet.
The best surfers don't always ride the coolest looking board. They ride the right board for the conditions and their ability. Keep your mid length in the car...you'll thank yourself for it.

small waves ask for smaller, bulkier boards (fish or similar)
