These boards can range from 6-8ft and typically have a rounder body with a little more width. That's pretty much where the common traits stop because you can have a funboard in almost any tail, rail or fin design.
Funboards make a great transition or learning board but can also be a good way to add some variety to the way you normally surf. They work well in most conditions, from the very small and mushy all the way up to head high. The extra width in the shape makes them more stable and forgiving, which is a much appreciated feature to many new surfers.When you ride a funboard expect a very diverse riding experience.
