The materials used in the boards. Nowadays, boards are made of plastic, fibreglass and high density foam. Opposed to chunky wooden longboards. Due to the changes in the boards, surfing has become faster and the waves ridden are now bigger. The moves attempted are more daring and the overall sport is more competitive.
