Which Surfboard for Small Waves?

For small waves, surfboards with more volume and width are ideal. These provide better buoyancy and help you generate speed even in weaker waves.

✅ Groveler surfboards are the best choice – we recommend the Manta Manta or The Blue Pill.
✅ Fish shapes are also perfect for small to medium-sized waves! They are shorter, wider, and have plenty of volume, making them playful and fast.

🐟 Our Killer Fish is an excellent board for small waves! Fish surfboards are traditionally ridden as twin fins with keel fins, meaning they have two larger side fins.

👉 Fin Tip: The right fin choice makes a huge difference on a fish board! We recommend the Modern Keel fins from FCS for a smooth and fast ride. 🚀

How Many Liters Should My Surfboard Have?

How Many Liters Should My Surfboard Have?

The volume of a surfboard is one of the most debated topics among surfers! But be careful: it’s not just about volume – factors like shape, length, rocker, and more also play a crucial role in choosing the right surfboard.

Basic Rules for Choosing Volume

✅ The lighter and more experienced the surfer & the stronger the wave, the less volume is needed.
✅ More volume provides more buoyancy & stability – ideal for beginners or weaker waves.
✅ Less volume allows for better maneuverability & control – better for advanced surfers & powerful waves.

Methods for Calculating Volume 📊

1️⃣ The Simple Formula

💡 Weight in pounds / 6 + 3 (for intermediate) or +6 (for beginners)

🔹 Example:
A surfer weighing 80 kg (176 lbs) calculates:
👉 176 / 6 + 3 = 32 liters (for intermediate)
👉 176 / 6 + 6 = 35 liters (for beginners)

2️⃣ The Guild Factor

The Guild Factor helps determine the ideal surfboard volume based on your skill level.

🔢 Guild Factor Values:
🏆 Pro: 0.35
🔥 Advanced Surfer: 0.36 - 0.38
🌊 Intermediate Surfer: 0.38 - 0.40
🌱 Beginner: 0.40 - 0.50

🔹 Example:
An intermediate surfer weighing 80 kg calculates:
👉 80 kg × 0.40 = 32 liters

💡 Our Recommendation:
If you're unsure between two volume options, choose the slightly higher one – it will make surfing easier! 🚀

What Length Should I Choose for My Surfboard?

Choosing the right length for your surfboard is just as important as finding the right shape.

✅ The shorter the surfboard, the more maneuverable it is, making it easier for rotation tricks.
❗ But be careful: If the surfboard is too short, it will slow you down too much, and you might get pushed out of the wave.

A longer surfboard has more surface area, generates more buoyancy, and helps you stay in the wave. This extra buoyancy creates speed and prevents the tail from sinking, which could cause you to lose momentum.

Additionally, a longer surfboard has a longer rail, giving you more stability and grip in turns.

👉 Our recommendation: If you're unsure between two lengths, go for the longer one. It's easier to slow down than to generate speed! 🚀

Which Shape is Right for Me?

Choosing the right surfboard for rapid surfing depends on several factors – primarily your weight and the type of wave you want to surf. However, other aspects like height, skill level, and personal preferences also play a role.

✅ For weaker waves, surfboards like the Fish, MantaManta, The Blue Pill, or HooDoo Swallow are ideal.
✅ For medium-pressure waves, a surfboard like the Stash is a great choice.
✅ For powerful waves, we recommend surfboards like the Wildcat or Katana.

As a general rule: The heavier the surfer, the wider and longer the surfboard should be – or it should be designed for medium to weaker waves.

Boards made for weaker or medium-strength waves can also be ridden on powerful waves. The rule here is: The wider the surfboard, the faster it will be.

Choosing the Right Size for Your Riversurfboard?

Selecting the right size for your riversurfboard depends on several factors – but volume is not the most important one. In rapid surfing, you don’t need to paddle into the wave, so dynamic buoyancy (surface area, shape) is far more important than static buoyancy (volume).

Key Factors for the Right Board Size:

  • Weight & Height: Your weight plays the biggest role. The heavier you are, the longer your riversurfboard should be. If you are lighter, you can go shorter.
  • Skill Level: The more advanced you are, the easier it is to handle shorter and narrower boards.
  • Wave Type: Your surfboard should match the wave. The weaker the wave pressure, the wider and longer your board should be.

👉 Our recommendation: If you’re unsure between two lengths, go for the longer board – it’s easier to slow down a surfboard than to generate speed.

Most durable Surfboard?

Riversurfboards need to withstand extreme conditions. 🌊 Rapid surf waves are often surrounded by concrete or hard structures, and even foam can become surprisingly rigid under high water pressure – a real challenge for surfboards.

Our Premium Line Surfboards were developed 18 years ago specifically for these conditions and have been continuously improved ever since. 🚀 Thanks to technologies like HD-Rails and FixPlugs, they offer significantly increased durability – without costing more than comparable boards from major surf brands.

✅ Maximum durability, ultimate performance!
If you're looking for an exceptionally durable riversurfboard that will last for years, our Premium Line is the perfect choice! 💪

Which Surfboard for the Wave Pool? 🌊🏄‍♂️

Choosing the right surfboard for a wave pool, such as Alaïa Bay or Surftown MUC, depends on the session you’ve booked. We’ve tested every session and picked a few favorites! In general, you can surf most sessions with any surfboard – as long as it has enough volume and length.

Smaller Waves (e.g., Progressive & Intermediate in Surftown MUC) 🌀

👉 Boards with extra volume work best here!
🔥 Our top picks: MantaManta, Fish, or SpaceCase

Medium-Powered Waves (e.g., Advanced Session) 🌊

👉 You need the right balance of volume and performance.
🔥 Our top picks: MantaManta, Blue Pill, or Psychedelic Slammer

Powerful Waves (e.g., Pointbreak & Barrel Sessions) 💥

👉 This is where performance boards shine!
🔥 Our top picks: Psychedelic Slammer, MantaManta, or The Blue Pill

Are Fins important?

The right fins are just as crucial as choosing the perfect shape for your surfboard!

✅ Fins are the connection between the water and your board – even the best surfboard won’t perform well without the right fins.
❗ Choosing the right fin setup affects how your board turns, holds, and generates speed.

We primarily use FCS II fin boxes 🛠️ – with only a few exceptions.
👉 This means you can use both FCS I (Dual Tab) and FCS II fins.
💡 Our recommendation: FCS II fins – they offer a wider selection, eliminate the need for screws, and provide an even better connection to the fin box!

Our Fin Sets: ⚡

We offer Thruster Fin Sets in different stiffness levels – the stiffer the fin, the more precise the control.

🔄 Reactor – Perfect for those who love quick and playful turns. More upright for a lively ride.
🔥 Performer – The ideal balance between maneuverability and hold. Keeps your board responsive while providing enough grip for smooth carves.
💥 Carver – Maximum control and power! Designed for surfers who want to push their board to the limit.

👉 The right fins make all the difference – so choose wisely! 🏄‍♂️
