Board Finder: what surfboard should I ride?

Your volume sweet spot

36–41L

Aim for around 38.6L. Go to the top of the range for small waves or if you're less surf-fit.

Shapes to look at

Fish · 5'3"–5'9"

Wide and fast, makes small and average waves fun.

Mid-length · 7'0"–8'0"

Easy paddling with room to progress your turns.

Groveller / small-wave · 5'1"–5'6"

Short and wide, a good step down toward a shortboard.

A rough guide only. Longboards and soft tops float more than the litres suggest, so their range is wider.
