l do not have much money and l weigh 117 pounds and I am 5'2. l can go to the beach like every weekend so l will get lots of practice. Here is a picture of the board:

It is maybe not the ideal board but your not real big and the board is kinda wide. Plus its really cheap. Try it for a while if it does not work for you sell it and get a bigger one.

Yeah, get it. l learned on a 5'10'' homemade piece of crap. And that board looks good.

That looks like a good board for you. However, if u do not have any experience at all with surfing or catching waves, u might want to start out with a soft top longboard. The longboard is like a moving sidewalk, so it is very easy to stand up on & can catch anything. And the softtop is very forgiving for important body parts (such as ur skull) when u fall down. And u WILL fall down. A lot. Plus it is more difficult to ding, & since it does not need wax, u can sit on the beach & check out the ladies w/out worrying about all of ur wax melting off.

No the best board is a long board. If u dont want to go all the way with a 9 ft try a 8ft. Honestly longboards tend to be more fun in the beginning because their very relaxed. You dont have to work super hard to catch a wave unlike with a shorter board. If ur looking for a good price try buying an NSP surfboard. Their not the greatest boards but they work & their durable. Also try hitting up some surf shops for used boards. Or if all else fails try a foams board. These r very affordable, durable & excellent for beginners. Hope this helps.

yep

it could work.have fun..but be careful of the fins and be aware that the board is Hard!!

No, longboard.
