beginner, 5'3 100 pounds need some help l just started like a year ago.

long board at first. after you have masterd that then graduate to the short board. then you can go in the water

ok umm.. how bout a shortboard 6'1 3 inches thick 22 inches wide, no bigger no less exactly that board

5'3'' is very small for a beginner!
the smaller the board the harder it is to ride a wave!
to start with u need to be using a longer board for example 7'3'' (depending on how big u are).Mini mals r great!
if u would rather not rush into buying one it might be a good idea to improve ur surfing skills before buying one (so rent a board), & then u could buy a more suitable long term board - such as the one which u r interested in!
However 5'3'' & £100 sounds good for a more experienced surfer!
hope this helps
