Particularly the Flexfire at about 6ft? For an east coast surfer? and for a surfer that is 150 lbs., 5 9", but for a beginner?

Answer 1

not for a beginner. Don't get caught up in the hype.

Answer 2

Answer 3

prob not the best board for a beginner. You should try a foam board to start out:

Answer 4

Not for a beginner dude, especially if you are stepping down from a fun board.  Go get a mid sized used short board and try it out.  You're probably going to have to trade your way through a couple before you find what works bets for you.  Don't get caught up in trying to buy the latest stuff.  $700 for a board is a lot if you end up not being able to ride it.
