Beginner surfboard advice

Hello web/wave surfers! i have been skateboarding for many years, about 7, and i just began surfing a few months ago, ive been surfing a 8' longboard foamie about every weekend since i started. I am looking at getting a new board and found one on craigslist near where i live and was looking if you thought this could be a good board for learning on. I can do basic wide turns fs and bs and my popups are solid.I am 6'4" 145lbs and surf northeast florida in waves that are generally 2-5 feet with some rare big days up into 6ft. I have strong arm/back muscles and I'm a strong paddler. I was originally looking at a longboard for my first board 8ft+ but decieded to get a fun board so i can get a little more responsiveness and easier turns. This board I'm looking at is a 7'6" ocean arrow funboard shape with thruster fins. i dont have all the exact dimensions but i will when i go meet him to check the board out as not many deetz were given on the post. but heres is the link:
( https://jacksonville.craigslist.org/spo/5734599085.html ) Any advice? is this a good board for learning or will this hinder my learning process?


TL;DR i am a beginner surfer looking at getting a 7'6" funboard is this a good idea?
