Vinnie Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 depends on what kind of surfing you want to do - for the faster / more darting around the wave go for a short board (about 5 - 6 foot area). or if your more like me and just like cruising it and riding smaller waves, get a mel (8 - 9 foot area) Mel's (long boards) are easier to learn on and ride smaller waves with ease, but with short boards you can have a lot more fun doing the fancy stuff... Its all about what you prefer as your style. Go into a local surf shop and see if they have any one that takes groups or people out to try the sport, that way you can find out how much time and money you want to put into it... surfing can cost a bit once you get into it Hope this helps, have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
