Foam is Your Friend

Are you approaching your older years sinking your current board deeper and deeper into the water? Is it harder to paddle every time you go for a surf? Do not be ashamed! Foam is your friend. 

And as a recent convert to this theory, I have experienced Almond Surfboards as a true embodiment of this. They do an incredible job at packing foam under your chest without sacrificing maneuverability and functionality. Especially in their R-Series lineup. It’s truly incredible how foam boards turn almost like glass boards! And they have a clean, minimalist aesthetic where I feel confident pulling up to any lineup. 

Gone are the days of potato chip struggling and constant groveling for speed. 

If you don’t know what you should be riding, there are a great number of Volume Calculators out there. Simply input your weight and skill level, it will output how many liters are suitable for you.

And just to be safe, maybe add a liter or two. Because remember, foam is your friend.
