· BUOYANCY & STABILITY, WHY? ·
This is a no brainer when it comes to choosing your first board if you want it to be a success in becoming a new surfer that is; meaning, you will repeat the experience if this one is good.
You need your softboard to be buoyant or “floaty” and stable. Why? A floaty board will keep you sitting high in the water and it will help you with your paddle stroke since they glide more smoothly. You will stay on your feet easier and it is less likely to tip over.
Stability, your second best ally being a newbie: larger boards have a bigger area to stand on; they are more stable and will help you keep your balance. The more stable, the more waves you’ll be able to ride and that’s our goal: the more waves the better to become a surfer.
Longboards such as these, will make it easier to catch even the smallest of waves and will help you train the skills necessary to progress on to more advanced surfboards. Be prepared for everyday surfing!

Let’s not forget that we call this baby a Low-Cost Sleeping Dragon. As your first board, a small and technical one is your enemy; it would be a poor choice since, first, you will be trying to keep yourself out of the water; second, the paddling will be an odyssey and third, well, standing on it, will be a lot harder than it seams. A bigger softboard will provide you with what you need to awaken your inner surfer. Trust us.
