Struggling to choose a board? That's completely understandable, and we get it. Finding the board that's right for you is not easy. There is a plethora of different models, shapes, volumes, weights, and colors out there, and navigating through all the specific terms and slang doesn't make the decision any easier. It's like standing in front of the candy aisle at the grocery store and you can only pick one. They're all probably good, but which one will meet your needs?

What does it mean when people talk about a fish, and what is the real difference between a midlength and a minimal? All of this and much more will finally be answered here.
