Shortboard vs Mid Length Surfboard - Which is Right for You?

Shortboard or mid length, which one should you be riding? It all depends on your ability, the conditions, and what you actually want to get out of your surf. In this video Max from Hand Laid Eggs, surf coach turned shaper based in Cornwall, breaks down the real differences between shortboards and mid length surfboards, who each one suits, and how to match your board to the waves you're actually surfing in the UK. What we cover: What actually separates a shortboard from a mid length The four types of shortboard - high performance, groveller, everyday, and twin pin What types of mid length are out there and which conditions they suit What skill level you need to ride a shortboard properly How to match your board to the conditions on any given day The UK surf problem with going too short too soon What a high volume shortboard is and whether it's right for you When a mid length is always the right answer Whether you're an intermediate surfer thinking about going shorter, an improver wondering if a mid length is right for you, or someone who's been riding the wrong board for years - this video will help you make a better decision about what's under your feet.
