Surfing Waves

G'day mates

keep it short,
Im startin up a trade teaching the greatest sport in the world, surfing.

Although i olny own a shortboard, and the time has come to purchase a couple of new boards to teach the youngin's on.

Had a heavy dispute with the fella's about which board would serve the purpose best, so figured id hit up the internet get a few new angles of though on the situation

Wati'd the ideal board be for this ya recon?

Lots of advice will come your way!
Get a well floated board that is slightly longer, a sort of mini mal, maybe a soft one or not. But ensure they feel safe and comfortable....... Depending on your young ones age ensure they can swim and you are present and you can make it pleasant and exciting.
Small sessions one on one, please remember too that not all children want to surf! Encourage them whatever sport!
rest assured get it right and you will have a great companion to surf with.
I have had the pleasure of surfing with sons and grandsons
