What the September 2026 list says
Most of the active shortboards sit in the Hybrid (6) and Small-wave shortboard (2) categories. Together their wave windows span knee-high to double-overhead+, and the average power midpoint is moderate — a read on what the community was looking at in September 2026, not a recommendation.
Popularity is not fit. A board that many people add is not automatically right for your waves — read the wave-size window and power midpoint on each entry and compare against what you actually surf.
