Every surfer knows the feeling a new surf board brings.
But the question is what to buy?
The evolution of surf board technology and the easy access to information on the internet make the decision to buy a board a complex task. I mean how do you distinguish between reality and all the marketing hype!
But it doesn't need to be so complicated. Start by asking yourself a couple of simple questions. Like for example:
Where do I surf?
How often do I surf?
How fit am I?
If your answer is that you surf in Valencia, once a month and that you're not as fit as you used to, or should be, then the answer is easy.
Foam (Volume) is your friend.
The more volume you have in your board the easier it is to paddle. The easier it is to paddle the more waves you will catch, and the more waves you catch the sooner you improve and enjoy your time in the water.
So don't be shy....BIG IS BEAUTIFUL when it comes to surfing here in Valencia!
In any case before you spend your hard earned cash, be honest with yourself and get some good information from as many sources as possible.
