Which surfboard is better? A 7'2" or a 7'6"?

Question

I'm really need your help guys. I'm stuck between two boards- both funboards except that one is 7'2" and the other 7'6". I live in Miami Beach so there really aren't huge waves. I'm 110 pounds, 5 feet tall, and a girl but since I've just begun and I'm really not that great at getting up on the board (i dont have upper body strength and my wrists are 4 inches in diameter so I usually get up on my knees first) I was thinking I should go with the bigger one for stability. But I like speed and the design of the 7'2" one. And I'm really good at turning/They are both epoxy if that makes any difference. Please help. I'm really planing to become a surfer so I'm going to need this board for a long time.

Answer 1

depends on what you want to do. if you like free riding get the longer one..... if you want to do tricks then the shorter one. longer ones has more control, but slower to turn

Answer 2

It doesn't really matter if you're just beginning. the bigger one will probabily catch more waves but you're small so it probabily doesn't matter
