Choosing a Surfboard
The traditional beginner's board and still used by experts is the longboard. Typically about 9 feet (2.7 m) in length, they can be as long as 12 feet (3.7 m) or more. The average longboard is approximately 21-24 inches (53-61cm) wide, though some are wider.

The number of fins isn't standard, but the usual board will have one, just in front of the midpoint or near the tail.
