Looking for a surfboard that will go super fast and be able to maneuver all the tricks you want to do? With a mini shortboard, you can do these tricks and more, because it can turn as fast as you can. At BuyBoardz, we offer a mini shortboard, called the Blackball Beater, which is the style of board that originally led the surfer revolt and put surfers in the “Blackball” zone. The Blackball zone is the area on the beach that is sectioned off for swimming only, but if you have a surfboard that is shorter than 5 feet, you can surf in this area. The Blackball zone is often a good surfing area as well, so with the Blackball Beater standing at 4 feet, 11 inches, surfers have been able to get back to their desired surfing spots.
You want to improve your cutback and off the lip skills? Then a shortboard is just what you need to get these tricks down. A Blackball Beater is one of the shortest surfboards at one inch under 5 feet, but this allows for maximum maneuverability. It is much tougher, sometimes impossible to perform these tricks on a longboard, so if you have moved over to shortboarding for the challenging but fun turning and carving, and maybe even catching air if you’re really good, then a mini shortboard may be the board for you. Of course, you may be even be able to get that ever elusive tube ride with a Blackball Beater, and here at Buy Boardz, we wish you the best of luck to get this tough trick under your belt.
Remember, if you are just starting out in surfing, you don’t want a board like the Blackball Beater. This is a surfboard for more experienced surfers who have worked hard to acquire the skills needed to be able to use a mini shortboard. Beginners should start with a longboard to gain basic skills, and if you keep at it and keep improving, you’ll be ready for the Blackball Beater in no time!
