Urban Surf

You need to prepare at least the gear mention in this article to ensure the joy of the waves ride!

During your first surfing experience, you may choose whatever gears you like, but apparently, not all gears are appropriate for you. To maximize your experience in riding waves, you need to get the best and the most appropriate gears to be used. Even more, if this experience is apparently the first surfing experience for you, then it is so recommended for you to choose the best gears for beginners. Below are the lists of best gears that are made special for beginners like you.

First surfing gear, which is the main item you should have, is a surfboard. A surfboard for beginner has been divided into two main kinds, the soft surfboard, and the pop out surfboard. The soft surfboards are made from soft foam constructions known as foamies. Since it is made from foam, the soft surfboard is extremely buoyant; meaning, it will help you catch waves easily. The soft surfboards are designed to be a board that is very stable and easy to stand up on it. Those things are what make these boards suitable for beginner. Since almost every part of this board is soft, the soft surfboard can minimize beginners’ injury. This board is usually used by the surf school to teach how to surf for beginner level, but it’s not ideal for you who plan to surf regularly.

The pop out surfboard is a surfboard made from foam covered by thick fiberglass. Since it is made from the combination of foam and thick fiberglass, it appears to be heavier than the soft surfboard. The weight of this board will help the steadiness of the surfer on water. Yet, be aware if you choose this board since it can cause injury on both you and other people in the water. This pop out surfboard is a good surfboard that can last longer than the soft surfboard. Sometimes, this board used to teach how to surf to beginner and intermediate surfer level.

The second gear you should have is a wetsuit. Wetsuits is a must if you want to surf in a cold weather beach. Wetsuits are made from synthetic rubber material called neoprene and made in many forms, such as shorties and full suits. Varied from 2 to 6 mm thick, wetsuits will trap water, give you warm water blanket, and prevent you from cold. By wearing wetsuits, you don’t need to worry about being cold while doing the surf.

The third gear is leashes or leg rope, this gear allows you to attach board into your leg and ensure that you never be separated from your surfboard. Make sure that you choose the correct leash length, at least a foot longer than your board. It’s better to get thick rope so your leg rope will last longer. Then, decide the color of your leashes as you wish.
