RAINBOW SPRAY-PAINTED SURFBOARD EPS CORE LONG BOARD

Safety Tips for Round-Nose & Flat-Tail Long boards in Deep & Shallow Water

1. Deep Water Surfing

• Paddling Efficiency: The round noseprovides buoyancy and stability, making it easier to paddle through deep water. However, its size can catch wind—stay low to reduce resistance.

• Wave Entry: The flat tail offers smooth gliding, but it may lack sharp turns. Use wider, drawn-out carves to maintain control in larger waves.

• Current & Endurance: Longboards are heavier, so be mindful of fatigue in strong currents. Conserve energy when paddling back.

2. Shallow Water Surfing

• Fin & Tail Caution: The flat tailsits low in the water, increasing the risk of hitting the bottom in shallow zones. Avoid sharp turns near reefs or sandbanks.

• Nose Riding: The round nose is great for walking forward, but in very shallow water, stepping too far up can cause the board to pearl (nose-dive). Adjust weight carefully.

• Wave Break Awareness: Longboards generate speed quickly—anticipate sudden breaks in shallow water to avoid being thrown forward.

General Tips

Stability Advantage: The board’s length makes it steady, but its size requires more space to maneuver—watch for other surfers.

Durability Check: Long boards are tougher but can still get damaged in rocky shallows. Inspect fins and rails after surfing.
