hey Sherbzie! if your just starting out, a thruster isn't the best board for you... go take a look at the main site, at the page about beginner surfboards, that should give you a rough idea to what you are looking for :)

Hi Sherbzie, welcome to Surfing Waves

freaky_welsh_chick is right in checking the main site, I have recently added some pages about surfboards for beginners, check out
https://surfing-waves.com/beginner_surfboard.htm
Read the pages and if you are still set on a thruster come back and tell us your weight and height (don't be shy now!) and we'll go from there. Hope the site is of use, come back soon :D

Hey Sherbzie

a thruster isnt probably a good board to start on, seeing as its a little harder to catch waves and can be pretty frustrating, I started out on an 8 foot longboard, i think the wider and the longer, the easier it is to learn, but research different boards and see which one you seem more interested in. the main page has good ideas.
