PARTS OF THE SURF BOARD Understanding the slang used is important for several reasons, from our surf school Totora in Suances, we strive for our students to learn the names of each thing. In this article we will focus on the parts of the table. All surfboards have some parts in common. Their names will be expressed in English, because it is the language used by most surfers. Deck: upper part of the board or where the body and feet rest. Bottom: lower part of the board, where the sliding occurs. Rocker: all boards have a slight curvature (Bottom), more or less depending on the characteristics that you want to give to the board. Nose: is the tip of the board or front part. Its shape may vary, ending in a sharp point (short boards, spikes) or being rounded (evolutionary, longboards). Tail: is the tail of the board or rear part. Like the previous one, its shape can vary, but covering a much wider range, since the shape of the tail is fundamental, giving the board certain characteristics. The tail can be of different types. The most commonly used are the following: Rounded: Rounded. Provides greater grip. Rounded pin: Round, pointed. Maximum grip and low maneuverability. Used for long and powerful waves. Deep barrels. Square: Square. Greater maneuverability, less grip. Rounded square: Same as above but with rounded corners. Swalow or fish: Its most outstanding characteristic is its great maneuverability.
