====Modern longboards====
The modern longboard has undergone many changes since its earlier models in the past. Today's longboard is much lighter than its predecessors. Its polyurethane foam and fiberglass design allows less drag on waves. Today's longboards are typically {{convert|8|to|10|ft|cm|order=flip|abbr=on|sigfig=2}} long, although some ride boards up to {{convert|12|ft|cm|order=flip|abbr=on|sigfig=2}} in length. Additionally, there is a revival of stand-up paddle-based surfing with boards up to {{convert|14|ft|cm|order=flip|abbr=on|sigfig=2}} in length (for stability). The classic single-fin longboard retains much of its classic design including a single fin, weight, and considerable buoyancy.<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite web|url=http://www.surfline.com/mag/features/anatomy/anatomy_flash.html|title=Surfline.com|website=www.surfline.com|access-date=17 March 2018}}</ref> A longboard with a single fin allows the board to pivot turn in order to remain in the curl of the wave. Due to recent advances in technology, the longboard has expanded its family into different variations of the classic longboard.
