Let’s be honest. Going from a longboard to a shortboard is a slow and tricky process. Learn how and when to make the transition with a few useful and practical tips. Initially, you’ll feel like you’re starting all over again. No worries, though. You won’t need to relearn how to stand up on a surfboard. The only thing you’ll need to train is your muscle memory. If you’ve just learned how to pop up on a foamie, there’s still a road ahead before transitioning from a beginner board – traditionally sized between 7’5” and 9′ – to the classic shortboard.
