What board should I get?

[helmo645]

Hey all,

Done a tiny bit of surfing lessons before and thats about it, nothing more than standing up though and thats not always guaranteed

Anyway im an 19 year old australian weigh about 70kb and 6ft tall,

Extremely confused about what type and size to get :s hoping to use it weekly so dunno if I would progress much but ehhh

7'6-7'8 mini mal to start with.

I would start out on a longboard if you want to progress quickly. Longboards are bigger, and more stable and therefore easier to learn on. You could learn on a mini mal, but it will be more difficult.

Good luck!

I learnt on an 8ft minimal. Bilbo Torpedo. excellent board for me. you could always get a cheapy BIC board second hand. maybe an 8ft2 or 8ft4 and then sell it for about the same price you paid and then get yourself a more advanced board like a minimal.

regards,

Tj
