Surfboard Styles: The Long And
Short Of Thrashing And Cruising

Like most of his friends, Cane
rides short, tri-finned thrusters and
owns four of them ranging from
6'1" to 6'6" in length. He is one of
the hottest surfers in the area and
one of a handful of east coast
surfers who were invited to com
pete in the United States Surfing
Association's 1993 National Cham
pionships.
His friend Jon used to ride short
boards, but switched to long boards
after a friend gave him an old 9'4"
a few years ago. He later invested
in a newer nine-foot board. Then,
during his California trip, he blew
most of his spending money on an
other nine-footer designed by one
of the world's top professional
"I don't surf in
competition. I surf
for fun. And I
have a lot more
fun on a long
board, especially
the way the waves
are around here. "
? Jon Tennant
longboarders.
"They just feel more natural to
me," said Jon. "I don't surf in com
petition. I surf for fun. And I have a
lot more fun on a long hoard, espe
cially the way the waves are around
here."
Even Cane admits that he likes to
jump on one of Jon's long hoards
now and then "especially when the
waves are small." But he still
prefers the maneuverability of a
short hoard, especially when the
waves are good.
"You can do more radical moves
like tail slides," said Cane. "A short
hoard lets you get more vertical.
You can turn top to bottom."
Both agree that surfers shouldn't
limit themselves to one type hoard
or one style of surfing. After all,
whether you prefer thrashing or
cruising, on short boards or long,
the "soul" purpose of surfing will
always remain the same: To have
fun!
