Why shortboard?
Shortboards are performer boards, that means intermediate level requiered, they are narrows with minimal flotability, cach waves on a shortboard can be tricky and to get balance dificult, there are many diferent shortboards depend on wave type and is the right tool if you are looking for airs, 360 or any radical manouver

Why funboard?
Funboards are the most easy board to ride, sizes are between 7" and 8", the diferent in sizes give you more control on the board, for example; a 7" board will be more (maniobrable?) but less stable than a 8" wich is less (maniobrable?) but more stable, they are wide and very stable, easy to cath waves. An ideal board for begginers and every person looking for fun or recreation, also a good step before a shortboard.

Why longboard?
Longboards are the biggest boards they come in 8" plus, could be a good board to lern in slow and melow waves, they are really stable but dificult to ride make turns on a longboard requiered a bit of experience, longboards are the soul of surfing, the way of ride a longboard is quit diferent than shortboards, walk over the  board is regulary while riding from the tail to nose, it is an ancient way of ride waves, pure surfing style

Why retro fish?
Retro fish is a shape used in the late sixties and seventies, it is a shortboard wider in the midle and nose with a fish tail, has volume all board long, todays retro fish are lighters than before so they succed in the last year, a must in a good board quiver they works really well in small waves making fun from what ever comes in your way, great flotability and easy to make turns

Why softboard?
Softboards are made for begginer, they comes wide & thick resulting in a very stable board, fins are flexible than any other board protecting yourself from cuts, light and easy to carry, safe in the water, less expensive than a regular fiberglass board, ding resistant.

Fiberglass or Epoxy?
We still think fiberglass has better conection with the wave, not than stronger or lighter but has great response in good wave conditions, small days , begginers, maybe epoxy is a good choice, in funboards and longboards too, make it easy if you begin to see pros using epoxy boards it is because is better, for now fiberglass is the pros option.

Tails
There are a few tails type: squash, (swalow), fish, round pin and pin tail.
