the longer the easier, about 6'7 would be a good starter for 2-6 foot waves.good luck and be safe. Always surf witha partner.

The longer the board the easier. l first started out with an eleven foot board.

since you are a beginner get a 7ft board or something

Try something between 7 and 8 feet

Anything around 7' should be fine for now, especially if you will be surfing small waves. You will find a longer board easier to manuever.

Your height dose not matter too much when your a begginner, all you need is a large board. try a large chucky board abvout 8ft. You want a minimal, they are the easiest to stand up on as a begginner. Ask in the shop, and they will direct you towards the beginners boards. When you are more experienced you should by a shorter board of just under 6ft.

depends on the kind of surfing you want to be doing. A long board is better if you just want to get out on the waves easily, but a short board is better if you want rip it up.

come to the dark side (longboarding) we have cookies (and cross stepping).

no but seriously, its easier to learn on a longboard. l longboard and shortboard but go for like a 7'0'' or bigger.

p.s. i'm 5'2'' and l ride and 8'0'' and a 9'0'' choice.

I'd suggest you get an used one for starters. Anything between 6-7ft would be a good size for you. Also, do not forget these techniques:

Depends on what kind of waves you are going to be surfing. Since you're just starting, a longer board is good, say around 8 feet.

if you're 5'4, your best bet would be to get 6'0 feet longboard and some sexwax.

Get a big fish. They're thick and wide so it will be easier to paddle and catch waves with. Check out 9:Fish Surfboards' Koi - http://9fishsurf.com/koi.html.
