Anything from 6'8" to 7'8" would work. Pay attention to width. A half-in in width can give enough stability to move down 4 or 6 inches, so a 20 or 21 inch board that is 7'3" should be as stable as a mini-longboard in the 8'6" range that's only 18-19 inches wide.

Overall shape works into funboards, as well.

There's a lot of online resources to help educate you on how each feature affects the ride of a board.. focus on attributes to provide float, stability and easier turning.

it all dpends on how quickly you beleive you will learn and improve. if you think it will be slow going then the bic style learner boards probably sounds right. but if you beeive you will improve quickly go for something a little bit more high preformance.

You see i dont beleive buying a board that you will outgrow its much better to buy a board you will grow into.
