Might be a bit late to ask whether it's good to use. But considering your fairly light, then I'm sure if you get out there enough and practice it'll be ok. Would have been a million times easier if you had got a minimal(7-8ft board)

I'm 6'1, 135 pounds ond a 6'7. The important thing is it's widt hand thickness though.

I don't surf often, and it is my first board. I
m able to catch waves whenever I get out, so I'd think as long as your board is thick enough you'll be fine.

I learned on a 6'2", but it was really thick.
