Surfing Waves

whats up everybody?! Fixin to move to hawaii within the next month. i have put away my snowboards and want to get a surfboard. i have spent about 10 years total on a snowboard living in germany and colorado. now that i am moving to hawaii, i want to learn how to surf. i have been wanting to learn for along time. i am 5'-8" and weigh about 180. just looking for a little help on what type, size, etc. board i will need to get started. any help is appreciated. if u happen to be surfing out there in hawaii one day and u see a kat with a boston hat on and that has tat's all over his body, take pity on his newbie ass. it will be me learning to surf. lol.

Im moving to Hawaii to bro... you prob wanna get a long board to start bro ....but if u wanna go with a shortboard then go with a 6"2 to a 6"5 thats what id say for a starter always good to go with a long board when you just start tho i learned on an old shitty shortboard tho CHEERS BRO

I bought my first board early last summer, used it for two full summers now and not had any problems with it at all. It's a Circle One Heritage Custom Wing Swallow Tail, 6' 11", I found it perfect for a beginner . I got it from from [Edit - Link removed for spaming] , a site I use quite a lot now, I'd never heard about it but a friend told me about it and everything comes quickly and at good prices. I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for a new board or accessories.
