What would be a good first surfboard?

Question

i don't have any experience,

Answer 1

a long board

Answer 2

windsurfing or wavesurfing?I do windsurfing and I used a long board to begin with,a FANATIC and it was very good(oh and btw don't use a huge sail when you start windsurfing,because it's very hard to hold ;))

Answer 3

definitely a longboard. they are best to learn on because its easier to balance on them and get correct footing.

Answer 4

If you're new to surfing, you should go with a bigger board.  A big fish would be a good choice.  It'll allow you to go with a board that's not a big longboard while still being easy to paddle and catch lots of wave.  Remember, the more waves you catch, the more fun you'll have and the faster you'll get better.  Plus you won't outgrow a good fish.  You'll be able to use a good fish for a long time in many different wave conditions.  Check out the 7'4" Hammerhead from 9:Fish Surfboards - http://www.9fishsurf.com/hammerhead.html

Answer 5

listen to everyone else, and get a soft-top longboard. my advice would be to rent some boards until you found a length that you worked best with.  the size of the board also depends on how tall you are and how much you weigh.  i am 5'6'' and 126 lbs and i my favorite length so far is 9'8''

Answer 6

an over 7 ft liquid shredder. (foam surfboard)

Answer 7

i dont have any either, but a good idea would be to stop by a bunger surf shop or any surf shop near you and talk to those with experience. ask them for a good beginners surfboard, one thatll be durable and last.

Answer 8

a long board. soft top.
