In this paper, impression words of surfboards and surfing were obtained by interviewing to some pro surfers and armature surfers who have long time experiences. As mechanical properties of samples of center fins for a long board, weights and sizes of part were measured. Strain for bending tests were also measured as flexibility of the samples. A pro surfer and armature surfers who have rich and long experiences of surfing tested the samples with a same long board, but subjective evaluations were not fit the mechanical flexibilities.
