Longboard + Stylin' + Strap
Posted: Wed May 21, 2008 1:48 amHey fellas,
I could have posted this in the long boarding forum but I figured that more people will see it here, thus more success and personal input.
I'm looking for a longboard to buy myself for my birthday and figured I would ask some experienced surfers on the intermediate brands.
Questions:
1. What brand would you suggest an intermediate surfer purchase when dealing with longboards?
2. What measurements generally decide whether a board is a longboard or a shortboard?
3. How would you rate a Mini-mal?
4. Can you get a mini-mal with a strap? Why do some boards have straps and others do not?
Thanks for reading and hopefully these questions aren't too "shubish" for ya fellas.

nah but generally anything over 9ft can be considered a longboard that is if it has longboard shape anything below sorta falls into the minimal/hybrid/fun and all the other grey areas
