LongboardThis page is about surfing Longboards, see Longboard_(skateboard) for information about Longboards of the skateboard variety.
A longboard is a type of surfboard. By general description it will be eight feet or longer in overall length, with a rounded nose and a single large skeg. The strong point of a longboard is its substantial buoyancy and planing surface, which enables most surfers using it to ride waves generally deemed too small to propel a shortboard. In the proper conditions, a skilled surfer can ride a wave standing on the nose of a longboard, literally putting his "toes on the nose" or even "hanging ten" toes over the very edge of the nose.
