Should I get a tail pad - Beginner

[Jasee]

Hey brand new too surfing and still in the learning phases of popping up, Current board i have is a NSP 6"4 Fish and was wondering if a tail pad will be a good idea for my board.
Cheers

Well I'd personally suggest an extra 2 feet!!

Why worry about tail pads and stuff at this stage? Get your surfing skills working. Tail pad won't do anything to get you learning yet! Tail pads come into play when you can start to drive turns from the back of the board.

Enjoy the simplicity of your early learning

On a 6'4 board?! unless they're 4'1 that's just cruel

The NSP 6'4" Fish to my knowledge have always come with a tail pad already installed on the board. My 6'4" NSP Fish that is over 10 years old has a stock factory tail pad.
