What is the difference between a surfboard and a skateboard

The difference between surfboards and skateboards is mainly reflected in the different places of use.
Surfboards mainly rely on the undulation and diffusion of waves to generate slope and propulsion, and there are not many places suitable for surfing in China, and most of them are inland. Skateboarding is an extension of surfing on land, without geographical or climatic limitations.

Surfboards are sports equipment used by people for surfing. The initial surfboard used was about 5 meters long and weighed 50-60 kilograms. After the Second World War, foamed plastic boards appeared, and their shapes were also improved. The surfboard currently used is 1.5-2.7 meters long, approximately 60 centimeters wide, and 7-10 centimeters thick. The board is light and flat, with slightly narrow front and rear ends, and a stabilizing tail fin at the back and bottom. In order to increase friction, a waxy outer film is also coated on the board surface. The weight of all surfboards is only 11-26 kilograms.
