well im no expert on a shortboard either :roll: but its the power of the waves that matters i think, not the size.

so if its a clean 2ft day with a bit of clout, you should be ok. if not, i'd go for a bigger board

sorry dont remember, but depending on your size thats a pretty short board so it should be fun in small waves if you can surf it, and f you can catch them. Anything waist to head high should be ok.

if you're just starting out, u might wanna get a bigger board, starting on a shortboard can be frustrating..goodluck!!
