shortboard
Maneuverable wave rider
A shortboard is a surfboard designed for performance rather than stability, typically under seven feet long with a pointed nose and narrow profile.
The reduced length and volume allow experienced surfers to execute sharp turns, aerial maneuvers, and ride steeper waves: He switched from a longboard to a shortboard once his skills improved.
