It's important to choose your board according to your level of surfing (first surf, evolution, confirmed or expert). Failure to choose a board adapted to your level of surfing can discourage you and, in some cases, even be dangerous.
What are the different surfing levels?
At Prism Surfboards, we've divided the different surfing levels into 4 parts. Based on these 4 levels, you'll be able to assess yourself and choose the best board for you.
Level 1: First surf
That's it, you've taken flight, your course was a revelation and you now have your bearings to evolve alone ... your take-off is assured even if it is perfectible and now you need YOUR board to chain sessions and gain experience! Your goal: to make your take-off and your glide in unbroken waves as fluid as possible.
Level 2: Evolution
Your manoeuvres aren't perfect yet, but you're making left and right turns... in waves that haven't broken, you're following the trajectories and your goal now is to position yourself better, on the board, in the take-off... and why not perform your first manoeuvres.
Level 3: Advanced
Your reading of the waves is fine-tuned, your choice of waves and your placement is optimized, the maneuvers follow one another, with each session you choose the best option in your quiver and diversify your boards. Your goal: find the right board for your favorite spots, discover new boards and have fun.
Level 4: Expert
You know your stuff...
