Longboard or sponge???

longboard, fishing pole, wakeboard, golf club, tennis racquet. As an east coast surfer, you have to have other hobbies!

i use an old one, but i dont see how it ruins the board. i never actually hit sand. so its just like riding on water

both, it all depends how its breaking

sponge.. Stand up thats all i do when its small... if your son can do that he will be able to stand on anything

Longboard. And when it small and shallow I got an old soft top that we ride right up on the beach. The kids love it and double up on it. Definitely a lot of fun on a nothing day.

I've had several longboards. I've only kept one because it fits the nitch of getting me outside on a retardedly crowded waist to shoulder high day. It's okay for knee high mush, but it's not catching them any earlier than my retro fish.

I hear the Bing Trimulux had a super flat rocker, but when I compared it to the Silver Spoon, it wasn't that significant. I need to find a 10' ironing board that has no business in being in anything over thigh-high. Any suggestions?

My two sugestions are

1 Bing "Pig"

2 Cooperfish "Malibu Foil"

My Bing Nr 2 work from knee high to OH it my goto board. I also take the Elevator out when its small too but it performs best from Knee to chest. The Elevator like a steep wave and at a place like wildwood it get cause the board gets great drive to help you get past the first section

get yourself a 10'6" or 11' cruiser...engage in what skip frye refers to as "cross country surfing." plus, if it's REALLY tiny, you can use a longer board like an 11' as a paddleboard & get a decent workout in w/ it.
something like this:

You can catch a Fart Ripple in the water with this

Matt... beautiful board. Classic outline, stringer and fin. Very nice.
