1. Pick the Right Surfboard<\/b><\/h2>\n

I usually surf with a shortboard because it\u2019s easier for me to paddle out with it. However, according to the experts at South Bay Board Co., during the winter, it\u2019s wiser to ride on a bigger board. Why? The added winter gear! During the stormy winter days – you\u2019ll need to protect yourself from the cold. You\u2019ll be wearing a wetsuit, surf boots, gloves, and hoods, which means much more added weight. A bigger surfboard will offset this added weight and make it easier.<\/span><\/p>\n

South Bay Board Co.<\/b><\/a> is a family-owned Board & Beach company that we truly love because they just make way better boards, both for beginners and intermediate surfers.
