Many people are drawn to longboarding due to the ease of paddling and the fact that you can catch the smallest of waves. But what many surfers do not realize is that you can still surf a longboard as an advance surfer.
But surfing a longboard when learning how to surf; and when you are confident surfer are to different things. Once you become a confident and skilled surfer, riding a longboard becomes more about style than performance. Short of like an art. I encorage you to try riding a classic single fin longboard.
When you go back to riding your shortboard it will feel 10x faster and looser.
