Not sure which one to get?

Here is our little softie guide for you…

Whitewash Warriors:El Nino Cruiser

If you are a beginner gidget, mostly playing in the whitewash practicing your pop-ups, we recommend using one of their bigger boards for extra stability and balance.

We use the 7’6 Cruiser on the Surf&Yoga Escapes. The Gidgets loved it. They are the perfect surfboards for beginners. If you are a skinny mini or quite a petite gidget, you could get one of their smaller boards like the 7’0 Diva Cruiser.

Greenwave Gidgets:

We think the Diva Cruiser 6’6 might be the one for you. If you are a curvy or very tall gidget, go for the Diva Cruiser 7’. Or if you are a pocket rocket, get yourself the Diva Flow 6′.

The Diva range is specifically made for the ladies and perfect for gidgets who are on their way to become intermediate surfers.

 

Seasoned Gidgets:

Screen Shot 2016-03-01 at 4.13.52 PMYou are a seasoned gidget and still want to surf when your favourite beach is closed for hardboards? I haven’t tried it yet, but the guys at ElNino showed me their fish and it looks absolutely rad. It’s got proper rails looks super stable and fun. I would probably get the 5’10 Fish.

On our last Surf&Yoga escape, I gave the 7’6 Cruiser a go and it was so much fun. To be honest, I was actually surprised how well it surfed and how well they turn! I’ll definitely give that one another run on a small day. Perfect if you just want to catch a few fun waves in a crowded line-up on a small day.

 

We are very excited to work with ElNino and hope you’ll have heaps of fun with your new board. Let us know how you go!

Happy Surfing :-)
