Little help for a beginner surfer?

Question

A friend of mine took me out surfing the other day, and I enjoyed it enough to where I would like to get into it. I know what a shortboard is, but what is the difference between a fun board and a long board. I wasn't really into the short board he let me try. I would like to have something I can just go out on and have a good time and enjoy what the ocean has to offer. Any suggestions of something that is good but not too pricey? I'm in south Florida btw.

Answer 1

O.k. I'm going to give u the pros and cons of both

Longboard-a longboard would probably be best for u being a beginner and the types and heights of the waves in south florida because longboards can be ridden in even small choppy waves but they r often pricey

Funboard- a fun board is also good because they arent completely short and can be ridden in a lot of types of surf so if u were planning on surfing there and maybe traveling somewhere else that has different waves this would be good to get, and they are often cheaper than longboards
