Blackball Beater Surfboard

Get In The Swim Zones With A Blackball Beater Surfboard
By Jane Worthington

Now that Memorial Day has come and gone, it is officially beach season! For many people, that means it's time to get the swimsuits out from the bottom of the closet, dust off the surfboards and get out there while the gettin's good! Although many surfers go year round, others prefer to wait for the warm endless days of summer, and there's no doubt this is the best time of year to get out in the water. Of course, it can get a little crowded on the beaches and waiting in the line on the surfing beaches can really drag. Often the best waves are in the swim zones, which is a no-go for surfers. Of course, if you're clever, you can get around no surfing zone with a surfboard called the blackball beater.

Blackball beater surfboards were first introduced to surfers a few years back, and they started the revolution for surfers getting back into the "blackball" or swimming zone at the beach. You can surf a board that is less than 5 feet in the blackball zone, and the beater stands at four feet, eleven inches to squeeze in there! If you don't know about shortboards, they are usually around 6-8 feet in length, so this super short board, also called a mini surfboard, is a rebel! It is also a lot of fun because it is so maneuverable, and you can do anything on a blackball beater compared to longboards or other surfboards. Almost any trick you can think of can be done on a blackball beater, but just make sure to watch out and not hit the swimmers.

If you are a beginner, then keep in mind that the blackball beater is not the board for you...yet. As fun as blackball beater surfboards are, they are not a beginner board, because they do take a considerable amount of surfing know-how and skill to handle. Remember the length rule of surfing: the shorter the board, the harder it is to maneuver. Because they will provide much more stability so that you can even make it to standing up and catching that first wave, longboards are the best bet for a newbie. But if you have a couple summers of surfing under your belt, you may be ready to tackle the Blackball zone with these fun shortboards. No matter what size board will work for you, just get out there and enjoy these endless summer days while they last with a fun board!
