Long boards + Short boards
Is a longboard bigger or smaller than a funboard?
Longer than a funboard
Does a long board or short board have better stabilty?
Long board
If i'm expirenced and whant to surf 10 foot waves what board would I use?
Short board/fish
Beach break
Do shortboards have more volume and buoyancy than a long board?
No, they do not.
What is the rocker?
The curve of the board
If it was my frist time surfing what type of board would I use?
Long board/Soft top
Why is knowing the geometry in the break zone important?
It is important because it is crucial for safety, performance, and selecting the right spot for your skill level. By understanding the break zone, surfers can anticipate wave behavior and navigate the ocean more effectively
Do Longboards have a big curve (AKA a rocker)
What is one reason the thickness of the board matters?
impacts the surfboard's buoyancy, wave-catching ability, and maneuverability
Which on is bigger, hybid or soft top?
Soft top

Do long boards have a circular or triangular-shaped nose?
cirular
Yes
What is one of the sizes of a long board?

Do short boards have a big curve? (AKA a rocker)
What is one benefit from buoyancy and volume?
What is one of the sizes of a shortboard?
Uneder 7 feet in length, often ranging from 5'6" to 6'6"
Name one way that beach break uses geometry
The shape of the seabed, the bottom slope angle, or water deapth
