  1. well if you want to get a board that you can grow into and use as a shortboard later on i'd go with a board that is anywhere between 6'3 and 6'6.  it will all depend on how much you grow though.  this height is fine for you to learn on, too.  Most people say to start out learning on a longboard, but when i started, my board was only about a foot taller than me.  You will also prove and advance much faster on this type board.  Also for extra help i reccommend buying an indo board check it out at www.indoboard.com    

    hope that helped an d good luck!!


  2. It just depends on what type of surfing youwant to do. Longboards will fit anyone and are easier to surf on.  Short boards are funner but way harder to balance on. if you are just starting out I would get a 7' to 8' "Funboard"  to learn on then go to your local surf shop to rent a long board and a short board to see wich one you like best!!!
