This is a good surfboard for someone dropping down in size from a longboard. It is simply a shorter version of a standard longboard, but turns much easier. The Sauritch Mini Longboard is very maneuverable and has great wave-catching ability. This is actually a good surfboard for a smaller person that has a hard time lugging around a 9 foot longboard!
