Frequently Asked Questions
It really depends on your skill level, weight, and the type of waves you want to surf. Beginners would benefit from a longboard as they offer more stability and easy paddling. Advanced surfers can go for shortboards to get better maneuverability.

Yes, fins provide stability, direction, and control. Surfboards can have various fin setups such as single fin, twin fin, etc.
Keep longboards, soft tops and fish boards on smaller waves. You can challenge those bigger waves with shortboards.
Beginners should always start with a soft top surfboard. The Aero 7ft or Spire 8ft have soft foam decks that are safer during wipeouts, extra buoyancy for easier wave catching, and forgiving designs that help build confidence. Graduate to an epoxy hard board once you can consistently catch and ride waves.
Beginners need more volume and length for stability and paddling power. A 7-9ft soft top is the standard recommendation for most adults. Lighter, smaller riders can start with a 7ft board; larger adults should go 8ft or longer. Avoid shortboards until you can surf green waves comfortably.
Soft tops have a foam deck skin over an EPS core — safe, buoyant, and forgiving for beginners. Epoxy boards have a hard fibreglass and epoxy shell over EPS — lighter, more responsive, and higher performance. Epoxy boards are better for intermediate and advanced surfers who ride steeper waves.
Yes. All Thurso surfboards include fins. Soft top boards come with FCS-compatible side fins and a centre fin pre-installed. Hard boards use a standard fin box system. Replacement and upgrade fins are available separately if you want to tune the board's performance.
Soft top boards are ideal for small to medium beach break waves — 1-4 feet. They handle beginner-friendly crumbling white water and green waves. Epoxy hard boards handle a wider range including steeper, hollower waves. All Thurso surfboards are suited to recreational surfing, not high-performance competition conditions.
