Toronto-based entrepreneur Sheldon Jason Burnett oversees operations at the consultancy Analytics Associates Group. The CEO and president, he works with clients in a range of fields, including financial services and sports. Outside of work, Sheldon J. Burnett enjoys many physical activities, such as surfing.
In surfing, there are two main types of boards surfers must choose from: longboards and shortboards. Longboards are the most popular surfing board and have been around since surfing was invented in Hawaii. Ranging from 9 to 15 feet, longboards offer more stability since they give surfers plenty of space for their feet and have a larger surface area on the water. This makes longboards great for beginners who are still learning how to stand up on their board and maintain balance.
Meanwhile, shortboards are under 7 feet. Compared to longboards, they are much more maneuverable and capable of handling steeper waves. These boards are focused on performance, so they often have more fin layout options than longboards and handle better when ducking under waves. Of course, they’re also more convenient when carrying the board to and from the water and stowing it on a vehicle.
