The Top 3 Surfboards Every 40+ Surfer Should Ride If you’re a surfer over 40 and finding your wave count dropping, it’s probably not your age — it’s your surfboard.

After years of riding low-volume boards that beat up my shoulders and made surfing harder, I finally learned that the right board can completely change your experience. l As someone who’s surfed for nearly my whole life — and kept surfing well into my 40s and 50s — I’ve seen how the wrong board can make every session harder than it needs to be. Too little volume, too much rocker, and “performance” shapes that just punish you. But with the right board under your chest, everything changes: ✔️ Easier paddling ✔️ Earlier wave entry ✔️ More stability ✔️ More fun in average waves In this video I break down the Top 3 surfboard shapes that make the biggest difference for surfers 40+: • High-Volume Shortboards — for surfers who still love performance but need more foam. • Mid-Lengths — the ultimate everyday board with huge paddle power and smooth flow. • Fish & Twin Fins — for weak surf, speed generation, and bringing fun back into your surfing. Whether you’re dealing with shoulder issues, slower pop-ups, or just want a board that works with you rather than against you, these shapes will improve your surfing instantly.
