I'm looking to buy my first surfboard, i go surfing most summers and have no problem standing up and riding the wave in. Do you think this board would be okay for me to learn on? I know your all going to probably recommend min mals but i'll be able to progress for longer on this board but i may be wrong.
I'm 5'6 130lbs by the way - but still growing
The board is quite wide and of reasonable thickness so it should be almost as stable as a mini mal. But do you think 6'11 is okay? I measured it out and it seems right. Also it's hand shaped
