Getting a Long board?

Question

Looking at getting a longboard. I'm 6"3' and weight 230. What is the size I should get. Someone mentioned a 10 footer...your thoughts?

Answer 1

I think a  7''8 . 2 69

Answer 2

9 foot or longer and about 2 1/2 inch thick!! Russo makes an awesome surfboard!

Answer 3

probably a nine-footer. or ten-footer.

theyd both work for you

Answer 4

Depends on how good you are, I'd say start with something around eight feet.

Answer 5

Check with your local surf shop.

There's no way for us to know what kind of waves you'll be riding or what your skill level is. You sound like a big guy and anything over an 8 footer would be a good choice. You'll want something thick 2 1/2 inches maybe, in order to attain maximum bouyancy in the water.

Answer 8

I would suggest 9' to 10'.  They will be good for someone your size.  I'm 6'5", 240 lbs, and have had both.  I liked the 9' better because it was more maneuverable than the 10' but that's my preference.  

Good Luck!
