A friend of mine took me out surfing the other day, and l enjoyed it enough to where l would like to get into it. l know what a shortboard is, but what is the difference between a fun board and a long board. l was not really into the short board he let me try. l would like to have something l can just go out on and have a good time and enjoy what the ocean has to offer. Any suggestions of something that is good but not too pricey? I am in south Florida btw.

O.k. l am going to give u the pros & cons of both

Longboard-a longboard would probably be best for u being a beginner & the types & heights of the waves in south florida because longboards can be ridden in even small choppy waves but they r often pricey

Funboard- a fun board is also good because they arent completely short & can be ridden in a lot of types of surf so if u were planning on surfing there & maybe traveling somewhere else that has different waves this would be good to get, & they r often cheaper than longboards
