How long should my surfboard be?

How long of a surfboard should I get?

  • I'm a beginner and I'm 5'8" and weigh about 125 pounds. I'd say about... 8 feet? What do you think!?

  • Answer:

    If you've never surfed, the longer the board the better. As a beginner you want to focus on getting the hang of surfing, while enjoying your time on the water to ensure you don't get frustrated and quit. Surfing is a great hobby and life long passion, go for a long board round nose shape, anywhere from 8 to 10 feet long. You might even want to go with a foam top board, less expensive and more fun to learn on. Remember to start off on small waves and gradually build up, you'll get the hang of it in no time.
