Do men and women need different kinds of high performance surfboards?
Matt Biolos of Lost Surfboards gives some insight into what his team is riding and why in an interview with Surfer Magazine. Essentially, the boards that pro women ride are not much different than what the pro men use, just scaled down. They tend to be a little narrower with a bit more tail rocker with lower volume overall. I also found it interesting that he pushes his team riders to use larger fins.

Finding a smaller than usual shortboard off the rack can be a challenge so many women (like groms) have to custom order. Luckily, we can help you with that. If you need a custom surfboard, contact us!
