What size surfboard do i need?

Question

I'm 5 feet and about 90 pounds i'm buying my first surfboard and i need to know what kind i need and what size... please help!

Answer 1

You need a longboard.  They are tall and wide.  This will help you stand up and ride waves easier because they are more buoyant than a shortboard.  You need something at least 6'5" or taller.  Ride the whitewash(a wave that has already broken) first.

Answer 2

go with an ezera Iwa model check out there wesite to see it it is the perfect board to learn on just get a little bigger size,.

Answer 3

great question... i would recommend talking to a shaper direct, one that can see you physical shape and fitness level, alot of people go straight for the longboard, which is great but you`ll want to ask yourself..."do i want to longboard?' if you do cool. if not go for something around an 8.6 mini longboard, then progress to a 7.6 big boy fish and soon you`ll be surfing a shortboard.

-- wait! i just saw you only weigh 90 lbs!!! then DO NOT go bigger than an 9.1 it will be WAY to large and heavy for you, if you can go shorter, like i said probably 8.2- 8.6 round nose.
