I'm loking at buying a board but dont know wat kind to get
im 43kg 5.3 foot tall and would like a longer board kind of longer one would be better like a mini mal or something would you peps be able to give advice

Mini Mal would be nice.
with your weight and size.. I would stick with the 7-7'6" range until you get comfortable enough with your balance.. (assuming you're not too skilled based on this post?) then after you learn a good drop in with that board and better control.. perhaps move to a 6'7" or so.
