Hi Dani,
Welcome to Surfing Waves.

To answer your question - that board is way too small. Look around on the site - there's tons of information. Bigger is better for your first board.

Hi Dani84, welcome to Surfing Waves!

DBBB is right, this board is too small. Look for one that is 60+ cms longer.
Also, when surfboard measurements are discussed, imperial (feet & inches) units are normally used. I had to check how long a 186cm board was. I did offer you a measurement in cms though
