Surfboards are designed for specific kinds or conditions of surf, for different sized riders, and because many surfboard designers want to make a statement or feel that have a new idea that will make the surfboard perform better.

Small mushy waves need to be surfed with a surfboard with more volume, otherwise you will not be able to stay with the wave and surf it into where the wave stops.

Wave with a gentle breaking face may be surfed on a longboard, 8 feet and up or a shortboard which are normally in the 6 foot range. Shortboards are designed more for performance, while longboards are for style and smoother type Surfing.

There are also designs within a surfboard such as thickness of the surfboard to give it more float, which makes it easier to paddle and catch waves. Thicker or longer surfboards are generally better for the larger and heavier surfers.

Surfboard designers like to make their own statement and may want to design a fish tail, bat tail, square or rounded tails just to change things up. They put anywhere from one to five or six fin boxes on their surfboards.

The fun of surfboard design is that there is no design that is standard.

So my friends, grab a surfboard and go experiment with the different designs. You'll have fun and that's what is supposed to be about! Surf Life!

How fast can a surfboard travel?

well mate, it actually depends of the steerer of the surfboard. if the steerer is fat, then the surfboard will be too lazy to pull his weight around but if the steerrer is skinny, the surfboard will still be too lazy. that's just how a surfboard works, get a boat if you want to go somewhere fast!
