No matter what board size you choose, you get a high-quality piece of surfing equipment that will serve you a long time. Pick a 8-9 foot one if you are just starting out or a 7 foot one if you have some surfing experience and be prepared to get asked where you got your surfboard from.

This South Bay Board surfboard is known for its wax-free fingerprint textured top deck, screw & leash plug and HDPE reinforced bottom deck. You will find 3 fins placed on the bottom of the board for the maintenance of speed and a round rubber bumper tail for the board’s safe vertical storage.

The construction of the board is quite durable – there is an EPS closed-cell foam core, a PVC lined waterproof fin holes and a capacity of up to 200 pounds.
