to stop nose diving, try lying a little further back, then if you miss the waves a little further forwaerd. keep trying till you find where you need to be. glad you had fun. i want to go surf again now.

erm im not too clever on boards but you could get a bic, i knoe everyone says they suck but theyre perfect for begginners (like me!) you cant break them and they sell on for not too bad a price so you dont lose much money when you want to change.

i recomend another longboard mabye 8/9. anywhere in there will do... i think.

as for bic, i highly recomend against this.... it is good for a begginer but your gonna want a new one as you get better and better and thats gonna be 500+ down the drain after a year.

no but you can sell them for almost as much as you buy them because its IMPOSSIBLE to damage them (more or less) and if you get an ex hire second hand one theyre way cheap.
