Answer 1

werd, well it all depends. what kind of style you are and what kinda waves are usually goin doown where you live?

Answer 2

Since we're into summer with all the inconsistent waves in Central Florida, a performance fish is the answer. This board won't be too much of a transition for you, will float you well, and still give you the ability to ride high performance. The dimensions are very similar to a shortboard, with the exception of the extra inch in width, to accommodate your weight and ability.

7.82 would be best gor your size and weight. It should balance out right and give you the perfect fit. BTW I am a girl
