Question

Dudes, what is easier for a begginning surfing a long or short board?

Answer 1

long

Answer 2

-__-. longer it is, easier it is to ride. over 10 feet anyone can ride.

Answer 3

I did stood up my first time on a longboard but the next day I went out on my shortboard and felt more confident and caught a couple good rides for my 2nd day out.  Shortboards are fine for begginers just not the first time.

Answer 4

long is definitely better for beginners but they are alot harder to move around in the water.

Answer 5

long for begginers.

Answer 6

I would definitely say that a long board is a whole lot easier to start with.  I would also recommend you find a soft top instead of a hard top, softs are easier to use.  They are less maneuverable, but a lot sturdier.  Good luck!

Answer 7

A long board.  It's just more stable and won't wobble so much. It is easier to catch waves with, but you have to watch the balance and nose lift.  Once you work it out you could move into a short board, or stay in the longboard world.  You can also go out on smaller days on a longboard and as a begginner that might be safer and more fun to start with.
