I often meet surfers who are trying to ride boards that are too small for them. For some reason, people think the shorter the board the better. I disagree. While a good surfer should be able to ride everything (including longboards, funboards, shortboards, and fishes), the surfer having the most fun is usually the one catching the most waves. I think people should ride the board that allows them to have the most fun. Jee Mee agrees. She gives her advice like this: Get in Shape, Eat Healthy, Be Outside, Ride Something Fun!
