I plan on buying a funshape surfboard. I am 5'9 and 155 lbs. Is there and ideal size? or just preference?

Question

I was thinking about buying a 7'2". Also, any suggestions on make of board would be great. Are all funshape surfboards more or less the same?

Answer 1

it all depends on your current surfing ability. if you've never surfed before, you probably want to get a longer board than 7'2". not that you can't learn on a board that size, but generally when you're first starting out you want the longest, thickest, and widest board you can find. you want something that you can easily catch waves and stand up on; two crucial things to facilitate learning to surf. something that might be a little better would be a board around 7'6"-7'10" and at least 20" wide and about 2 3/4"-3" thick. but it varies between surfers.

Answer 2

what kind of waves are you going to be riding?

how good are you?

no surfboards are more or less the same a*****e.
