  1. Go take your lesson first then these questions will be answered for you.  For a school in LA, Mary Setterholm runs one of the largest.  It's the Surf Academy.  I've put their link below.  

    As for a board, the 8' may not be the best unless you have tried one before.  Also, there are many different fun shape rail and tail designs, some that will work better then others at the location you plan to surf at.  It's probably best to check what the locals are using first.

    In answer to your third question, normally a longboard is best for most beginners.  However, your instructor will be the best to advise based on your size and natural ability.
