Surfing is a sport that is played in water, but this sport is quite extreme. In sports we need special skills and equipment to play surfing. Now we will discuss about surfing equipment.

In the surfboard there are parts, namely:
The nose is the front end of the surf board. A pointy, triangular and pointed nose is worn by pro or advanced surfers. For beginner surfers the shape is slightly rounded and dull.
Deck is the top of the surf board used for standing surfers.
Bottom is the bottom of the surf board facing into the water.
Rail is the edge of the surf board.
Fin is a fin that functions to regulate the rate and motion of surf boards. This fins are mounted on the back side of the bottom of the surf board.
Tail is the back or tail of the surf board. Tail varies, including tail pin, tail thumbnail, swallow tail, tail diamond, and wing tail.
Stringer is the wood that so the middle hole of the surf board.
Leash Cup, hole in the back of the surf board, place for tying the rope.

For beginners there are 5 types of boards, namely:
1. Fiberglass or Foam
This board is thick and has great flotation so it is perfect for beginners. The board is also soft so that when it falls is not so painful.The surfboard-like type has a core structure made of foam on top of which there is a thick layer of glass fibers. This makes these boards quite heavy but they provide good stability over water and can be used for a very long time.
2. Long and Shape
The long and thick surfboard will offer better flotation. These types of surfboards are not suitable for experienced surfers but they are a good choice for beginners. In accordance with the recommendations of surfing experts, beginners need to use a pop out that is three meters longer than the height of the body The foam board is built in a way that makes its length less important but generally adults are encouraged to use a foam that is eight feet long and for the children it needs to be at least six feet in length.
Rent Board
You can actually rent surfboards from almost all surf shops and surf schools all have rentals as well.
Instead of spending money on buying a new surf board, you can actually hire a low-performing low-cost surfboard from sources
and utilize them until you get some experience in surfing. Once you have gained experience
and you are sure that you want to continue with the sport, you have to buy a new one for yourself.
4. New or Used
You can easily find good beginner surfboards from the old surfboard market.
5. Surfing Accessories
Before getting a good balance on a surfboard, learners tend to go down a lot and therefore it is a good idea to have a rope to keep them plugged into a board so they do not have to chase after them every fall. This should be about the same as their boards. To provide good traction for the feet on slippery surfaces, all types of surfboards are coated with surfing wax coating on the upper deck but foamies are the exception. Surferers may need wetsuit to keep themselves warm and comfortable while they are surfing in the cold waters.

Surf Clothes
Surfwear can consist of surf suits and surf pants or just by using surf pants only. So for those of you who already own the equipment quickly find a suitable beach. For you who do not want to bother mencarinnya, you can see it in Grajagan.
