depends on the person and the board, it can very greatly b/w boards. bu for the most part the thicker the board its going to be harder to duck dive. and if you a small person its going to be even harder, theres no one answer to this question

With a board like that id lean more towards turtle roll. They might not be the ''coolest'' thing to do but who cares they work and theylle get you out there. and once your out there maybe try a few ducks dives in the line up during the lulls

Turn Turtle. You can start duck diving shortboards when they are about 6'5ish,

turtle, that board is way to big to duck. Unless its extremely thin and narrow. Try ducking it might work, but it probably won't.

Turtle roll.
you will actually look dumb if you try duck diving on a longboard, because you wo not be able to do it.
Turtle rolls will even make you look like you know exactly what your doing.
Surfing is not about what other people think, its about having fun.

def turtle it.
a board def has to be under 7 feet before you start considering to duck dive it. id say maybe even closer to 6 feet

A lot of it depends on how big the surf is, & how buoyant that board is. You should be able to do either, depending on conditions. l was out five times this weekend, & l duck dove, turtle rolled & paddles through, all depending on the wave, where l was (and l how tired l had gotten). l do not think l could give u honest, ''duck dive at five feet' type rule of thumb, if u r talking wave size. If u r talking board size, l duck dive all the time on my Lost 7'8'' SDII, but rarely on my 7'8'' custom fish (too fat & buoyant).

There is no way you can duck dive a 7'10 Epoxy. First epoxy is very floaty and hard to duck dive. Second the board is to long to duck dive. Definitely Turtle roll!!! You should start to duck dive at about 6'6'' or so. Depending on your height, weight, and etc. maybe a little longer or shorter. Good Luck and enjoy surfing.
