Hi guys! I am new to this site and I am very stoked to run into you guys. I am very new to surfing. I do plan to hit the waves in San Diego,CA at least once a week on my days off. I don't have a board nor a wetsuit yet. Please advice on my need-to-haves like dimensions and brands. I am male, 6' tall and 175 lbs. I don't mind spending a little bit if quality of tools is crucial to my learning the right way.
