Nothing is more satisfying, stoke-worthy, or reassuring. A second surfboard says, “Hot damn! I really like this surfing thing!” It also says, “I’m here to stay, I’m committed, and I’m only getting better from here, so watch out!” With a second board, a whole new realm of surf possibilities gets cracked open like a tasty beer on a hot day after a great session. Your first surfboard was probably anything from a dumpster score, to a hand-me-down, to an impulse buy, or even a nervously chosen freshie from the local surf shop. It was either dinged or cracked or had something wrong with it that made learning to ride a royal pain in the neck, was an incorrect size or shape for a beginner, or was perfect for learning but didn’t help you move on to the next stage. You’ll always love your first, but the second is where things get interesting.
