Shopping for a Surfboard
If you want to be a surfer, then the number one thing you should get is the surfboard. Since there are many choices available out there however, choosing the right one for you might be complicated. To avoid making mistakes, here are a few surfboard shopping guidelines you may want to implement.
First, understand that your skill level would be a big factor in buying the right surfboard. So if you are still a beginner, it is not advisable to right away buy the big, stylish, and expensive designer boards. Instead, purchase the surfboard that you can use to learn the mechanics of surfing without worrying about the costs of the damages you inflict on it. There are many cheap choices out there and in fact, you can even buy the really inexpensive board that has undergone minor repairs. Just make sure that the fins are intact and the fibreglass has no holes.
Aside from this, know that there are basically two types of surfboards: shortboards (small) and longboards (big). The small boards are great for aggressive manoeuvres and quick turns. The big boards are great for gliding and for surfing gracefully. So to choose, just determine whether you want to be an aggressive surfer or a glider.
Another thing to consider when shopping for a surfboard is your size. Bigger people would of course need bigger boards. Know as well that if you have trouble lifting a board, then you will have trouble surfing with that. Finally, buy surfboards that have modern designs (three or more fins) as opposed to old ones with only one fin.

– European Final in Zarautz, on July 30th and 31st
– World Final to be held during the Quiksilver Pro France from September 25 to October 5
The Quiksilver King of the Groms is the major worldwide tour for surfers in the U16 category. The leading competition for elite young surfers from around the world for over 20 years, the event remains a veritable rite of passage for budding talents hoping to embark upon a professional career. Jérémy Florès (Fra), Aritz Aranburu (Euk), Taj Burrow (Aus) or Miky Picon (Fra) all came to prominence in this contest. More recently, Reunion's Maxime Huscenot, who became ASP Junior World Champion 2010 in Narabeen, and Brazil's Gabriel Medina who took the ISA World Champion title in January, both achieved their first successes on the international stage at the King of the Groms, before going on to hugely promising pro careers.
Selected in some 20 countries on every continent throughout the spring of 2010, the current 18 best young surfers around will come together next September in south-west France, during the Quiksilver Pro France 2010 (the only French leg of the ASP World Tour), to compete in the International Final of the King of the Groms, in the same conditions as the world's top senior male surfers.
As a prelude to the International Final, the European tour consisting of 14 stages will have its very own final, to be held in Zarautz on the Basque Coast in early August, where two European surfers will be selected to go through to the Final of the King of The Groms 2010. The European Series will kick off in May in the French Antilles and Canaries, and will continue across the continent through June and July (see schedule here). For the first time Morocco enters the euro series.
These are the series dates for Europe 2010.
