Noobie surfboard?

Question

hey

im 16 and 5'9 about 160 pounds

im gonna take up surfing over the summer and i want to buy my own board.

What size of a board should i get? i want a board that's fairly versatile, easy to ride, not too much of a "beginners" board. (i've been surfing before).

I longboard, bodyboard, and am fairly good at snowboarding

im not a very big fan of softboards.

a price range under 500 dollars would be nice :)

Answer 1

you want to get a long board or a fun size board. If you get a short board (advanced surfers) it will be harder to learn on.

Try Aqua East Surf shop or ebay. Ask someone who works there for help. They are usually snotty so be persistent. Best of luck.
