Shortboard
This is, as the name suggests, a shorter type of board used for its lightness, speed and maneuverability. Shortboards are used in slightly larger waves because the volume of shortboards is smaller. Shortboards are suitable for those who want to ride and have fun when the waves are a bit steeper and bigger. A shortboard is the classic surfboard that we have all seen on TV, but it is usually best suited for those who have been riding before and is not something we recommend for a beginner. Also, it can be tricky for those who ride in choppy waves.

Longboard
Longboards are, as the name suggests, a longer board. It is suitable for riding when there are slightly smaller waves or there is less pressure in the waves. It is also the perfect board for beginners as it is more stable to stand on. Longboards are the most commonly used in the Nordic countries because it gives you the most days on the water. What makes the longboard give you more days on the water is its greater volume than anything else. The only thing that can be good to consider is that longboards are just long, which means that they take up a lot of space.

HYBRID
A hybrid board is, as it suggests, a mid-range board that resembles both a shortboard and a fishboard. A hybrid has a wider and larger volume like a fish while the speed and maneuverability of a shortboard. The tail is also a shortboard variant. Hybrids are made to have fun days in smaller waves and still have fun in choppy water. It is a board that fits well in our Nordic climate.

Fishboard
This is a type of board that has become popular because of its tail that looks like a swallow or fish fin. Fishboards often have more volume than shortboards but they often maintain their lightness and maneuverability due to the special shape of the tail. Fishboard is a classic summer board that can be used when the waves are smaller and there is more chop than big waves. Fishboards are a perfect intermediate step from longboard to shortboard. You will not be disappointed with a fishboard, it is always possible to have fun with a fishboard.

Softboard
A softboard is a longboard but as the name suggests, the top is soft. This board is available in two variants where one type is a classic beginner board that has a soft top to reduce the risk of injury when falling on the board, which happens more often than you might think. The other variant is for spots with a lot of stones or other things that can damage the board. In other words, you don't have to be as careful with the board as with other types that are more sensitive to impacts. Regardless of which variant, with a softboard you will catch a lot of waves due to the larger volume and length.
