The behemoth of surfboarding. The Longboard is where it all started. This style generally starts at 9 foot and can reach measurements of 13 feet in length. This board is great for small to medium size waves with stability being the operative word. An experienced longboarder can do whatever he or she likes in most size waves and it's one of the easiest styles of boards to catch the smaller waves with if your just getting into surfing or taking it up again with a more relaxed style in mind.
