The transition from longboard to shortboard

Postby jackdriscoll » Mon Apr 22, 2019 5:18 pm

Since the beginning of my surfing life I've been a longboarder. As most beginners do, I started on a 8ft foamie. Since then I've drastically gotten better and i own 3 logs, one noserider, and 2 performance longboards. But on the east coast when i gets big you wanna enjoy it. So I've recently thought of purchasing a shortboard. I've ridden a few before and had a blast. I'm crazy about the Bing Dharma and the Bing Puck.

If anyone has any board recommendations I would greatly appreciate it! thanks

Why not pick one of the ones you rode before and enjoyed? The easiest way to tell which board is right for you is if you enjoy riding it
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.
