HI..I'm a total beginner...but keen as mustard! Is a 7'6" mini mal suitable for me (I'm 6'2") I'm trying to swap my CBR600 for a board and I've seen such a one the net...thanks..

Where have you seen it - give me the link and I'll take a look.

It's not a bad size, but you may want to go a little longer for your first board.

It won't cost half as much as a CBR600 and you'll get just as stoked from it!!

yeah - i would have to agree that a 7'6" may be a bit on the short side seeing as you are tall. it wouldn't be impossible to learn on - but you may have more fun on something closer to 9'.

i'm 5'3" tall and am learning on a 7'9" and having a grand ol' time. locals have told me longer even though.

get whatever length u like. just depends on your style & what u want to do on the wave.
