What kind boat is best for surfing?
Strictly personal preference. What represents easy turning / sweet carving / high maneuverabilityfor one person may be thought of as a total lack of challenge for another. I’ve seen open canoeists surfing the same challenging waves as sit-on-tops with equal success and fun. One quick maintenance note though; If you use a river kayak with those sliding metal foot peg mechanisms it is wise to spray the mechanicals with WD40 or something like that, then after your done surfing, alternate more lubricant with a good strong garden hose to get the sand out and the pegs moving freely. Otherwise the foot pegs will lock permenantly in position due to the sand and salt.
