Hey i weight 120 pounds & im a beginner . Which surfboard type is best for me ??

Thomas Chauvel says:

thanks man. but one thing would the surfboard be good for me as I can carve waves and stand up and pop up easily on my first day of surfing I could stand up and in the same week learnt to carve waves on a begginers board so I would be interested in the short board the last board you showed on video. so whatya think?

PG LC Spax says:

I am a beginer/transitioner surfer i can catch green waves and i can turn down the line. I am trying to decide which board type would fit me best i am a small person, and i ride mostly 2-5 foot waves. I have ridden a 6'0 firewire with some luck but it was to thin. I am looking a a possible chub board- 5'8, 22 inches wide and three inches thick. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Callie Mandeville says:

I have the Malibu design but I don't really like it I surf big waves and I'm 5'7 what would be best for me I've been surfing for years

Aloha Surf Coaches… I'm just beginning to learn how to surf but I think my board that I have right now is not right for me(at the moment) I currently have a board that is 6'6 19 1/2 wide 2 1/4 thick. I'm 5'5 and weigh about 260lbs. Do you have any suggestions on a easier size and shape I could get just to learn on forthe time being or until I get good enough to use my current board which was a gift. I love in hawaii if that helps.

Deri, Fishes are great boards and are really fun in 2 or 4 fin set ups! Typically they are ridden shorter and wider than a standard shortboard for your size. I would look in the 5'10 to 6' length range. If you were to get something shorter like the 5'10 you would want it to be wider and probly thicker than something in the 6' range. Average widths for those size boards would probly be 20" or more, and thickness 2 1/2" or more. Hope this helps!

Deri Edwards says:
