The egg board is a modern hybrid board that is usually from 6 feet to 8 feet 6 inches in length. The board's shape is much more rounded than most boards. Egg boards are used for surfing in smaller waves with any fin set up. The egg board is great for beginners, because they can be a lot easier to ride, and perform better than traditional long and short boards in certain areas and conditions. This board is more about having fun, rather than high performance or tricks.
