Question

My man is starting learning to surf, what would be the best board to begin with. He is 6ft tall.?

Answer 1

Biggest question is how much does he weigh?  It is all about the buoyancy.  I am 6'1'' and weigh 230.  i ride a 6'8'' quiet flight.  It is a little bit wider most boards so I can ride a shorter board.  It also depends on the wave height.  All a round go with a 6'7 to 7'2'' board which can handle any kind of surf from 2 ft to double overhead high.

If he is not athletic go with a longboard 8ft plus.  You can pick up  a used surfboard to see if it is the sport for him.

Answer 2

Monopoly

Answer 3

It really depends on what he likes. Im 5'2 110 pounds and I ride a 9 ft'r. Just get practice on different sizes and choose the one that feels the best.

Answer 4

get him to learn how to use an  ironing board

Answer 5

Start with at LEAST and 8'6".   And stay away from waves over 5 feet. You want him to learn, not drink the ocean and get stitches.

Answer 6

The best brand for you would probably be surftech. Its a new invention for beginners and since he is 6foot tall, he will need a longboard about 6'7 or 7 foot long board. also buy s*x wax, its the best wax for your board.
