Loose surfboard for a beginner?

Postby hans_nystrom » Sat Jun 02, 2007 9:57 am

Hi.
I wonder what "loose" means and if a loose surfboard is good for a beginner.


Thanks,
Hans

In beginners terms, 'loose' means 'wobbly'.
No good whatsoever for learning.

Yeah.

One of the things NOT to look for in a learners board.

It helps turning, somehting a learner wont be worried about for a while.
