Shortboards are used when the waves are powerful, steep, and rapid because they can move quickly and easily through the water. The surfboard industry has made significant technological advancements, producing lighter, stronger, and more performance-oriented shortboards. These advancements have made shortboards more accessible to a wider range of surfers, contributing to the market's growth.
