I have just started to learn how to surf this year during my trip in Bali and was hooked. Started on foam long board and the second time I was given a fibreglass board but I am not sure of the size I guess 7' to 8? Both boards were rented.
Although I'm back in my country with no wave but I get to drive up to neighborhood country for monsoon wave.
The problem is there will be no shop to rent boards. So I'll have to get a board of my own.
I'm a total beginner. Can only pop up but can't do any turns yet. Lousy paddle skill. Training up my fitness thou.

What board would you recommend for a 5'2 160cm 108lbs 49kg?
Due to aircraft restriction of 6'2 190cm on sport luggage, I would prefer something within this length is it possible?
Also something not as heavy as the blue foam board which I have a hard time dragging it. So it's impossible for me to carry this to the airport.
My brother is suggesting something like channel island sperm whale/ biscuit. Something not too long (6' 35litre) but high in volume due to my weight and height. But I'm not very sure.
Pls to have your inputs!
