What size board do i need?

I'm about to buy a surf board and I need to know what size to buy..I'm 5"10 153Ibs?

  • I never set foot on a surf board but I really one to. I skateboard almost every day, especially with my longboard. I'm told skateboarding and surfing are the same, then others say ...show more

  • Answer:

    go for a long board first, it's nice and smooth, and easier for beginners. I'd recommend some lessons, that way if something goes wrong, there will be someone there to help you. Also, unless you have a thick wet suit, I'd wait for spring to start surfing.

If you never have surfed before, GET A LONGBOARD!! You will eventually get better in ballance and stuff. then you should get a shortboard.

Read the already answered questions. This questions gets asked every week. The guys who said to buy a gun is either a kook or is trying to set you up. Guns are for big wave surfing.

Get a gun. They are about 8 or 9 feet they are made for tall guys. They are good to learn on because they are easier to control. When you start changing around with a single fin and all it too starts to mess with control in your board. It was easier learning on a long board (or gun) then going to short, once mastered. You can always get way good deals on craigslist.org because it is a sport that requires practice. Most don’t have patients.
