Beater Surfboards Origin and the Black Ball flag

Beater Surfboards Origin and the Black Ball flag How the Black Ball Flag drove the Beater Surfboards Origin In the early 1960s, surfing was becoming all the rage on crowded Southern California beaches.  Huge, heavy longboard surfboards with ten plus inch sharp fins were the wave riding vehicle of choice.  If a rider wiped out and a board hits a swimmer or wader, it can cause serious injury or even death.  A rash of injuries and confrontations led to the Beach Town Councils to get involved.  Towns like Newport Beach and Beaches of Orange County simply banned surfing during the warm months.  In some cases, surfers were crowded into less than prime wave break “surf only” areas.  Surfers, generally a disorganized Bohemian crowd, began to resist.  Small surfing organizations formed and urged a compromise to the draconian surfing restrictions and total bans. The Southern California Beach Towns have Lifeguards on duty during on beaches during the peak season.  Many Councils agreed to allow surfing if approved by the on-duty Lifeguard when there were safe conditions on the better surf beaches.  These would generally be, early morning, late in the day or bad weather days, when swimmers and bathers were few.  To signal a No Surfing condition a large yellow flag with a big black dot, or Black Ball was flown from the Lifeguard Stand.  When the flag was up, only swimmers, bathers, and soft, finless bodyboards were allowed in the water.  Read the full article

Learning To Surf On a Soft Top Surfboard

Learning To Surf On a Soft Top Surfboard by Liquid Shredder

Every young grom dreams of getting their first surfboard that they can begin to learn and grow with. Liquid Shredder has the best beginner surfboards, just what I needed.  As a young and eager surfer, I was stoked to receive my first Liquid

Shredder Peruvian Made vinyl skin soft top surfboard. It went with me everywhere once I hit the beach. The small thruster was bright pink and I couldn’t wait to put all my favorite stickers on it. I would take the board out to the whitewater and paddle, paddle, paddle… pop up! When the waves were too big or there were hardly any waves at all, I would hop into a tidal pool at low tide and practice my pop ups or just relax on my board.  What you Need in Beginner Surfboards The Patented Peru Liquid Shredder soft top surfboard was a fantastic entry-level surfboard and are the best boards to learn to surf on. When buying a kids’ board you have to take into account that they’re beginners and are going to need stability and plenty of foam, flotation to get them up and riding. The Liquid Shredder foam surfboard and vinyl Peruvian boards are just that; which is why surf camps across the country use them every day. As I progressed from my beginner board and moved up to other brand names such as Channel Island and Lost boards, the basics that I had learned on my Soft Surfboards Liquid Shredder stuck with me. Everything from learning my pop-ups, to knowing where to place my feet on the board were hardwired in. My Liquid Shredder taught me paddling, keeping the nose up/ not nosediving, and feeling comfortable on the board. Liquid Shredder Builds Confidence Learning on a soft surfboard gave me the confidence to really push myself and excel in my surfing, even from a young age. With a soft top, softer fins, and a long lifespan, every Liquid Shredder soft board gives the beginner surfer their foundation and the start of a never-ending wave adventure.
