Shortboards are made for aggressive high performance surfing and the best choice when the waves are pumping. Generally ranging anywhere between 5’5 to 6’5 in length they are shaped with a sleaker outline and plenty of rocker. This allows for maximum maneuverability, control and speed in steep powerful fast waves. Due to the fact they are finely tuned for a very fast tight turning and snappy style of surfing they are pretty unforgiving and require a good amount of skill for them to be ridden properly. Generally a more experienced, athletic (and younger!) surfer's choice of board.
