It’s the emblematic board of surfing, the one you’ll find on all the best spots, those of the legendary Kelly Slater, Mick Fanning, Tom Curren…
Smaller than its longboard cousin, the shortboard offers much better manoeuvrability but loses buoyancy, so it’s not a board for beginners but for seasoned surfers looking for more responsive boards to perfect their manoeuvres (like the timeless cut back).
The shortboard is the board for surfers with a good level who want to have fun in nice hollow waves and take their first tubes.
