If you don't know where to begin then maybe you aren't ready to buy a board yet. Also, you might find a better deal on a board at shops a little farther south as there are more tourists there. Try Ocean Outfitters in Wildwood. They are honest qnd will give you the right size for your abiiity.

I do not know your area, but I would recommend a "fun board" to start surfing.
A fun board is in between a short board and a long board-usually around 6.5 to 7.5 feet in length and thick enough to give you decent flotation.
Short boards are going to be too hyper for a beginner and a long board is a whole different riding style.

while you're in Huntington, pass all the way down to substantial highway and end with the aid of Rockin Fig. (Shameless plug, yet i don't paintings there nor am I affiliated in any way.) refer to the human beings in there, tell them you're gaining expertise of and how often you surf. additionally, tell them your funds. they are going to offer you an excellent thought of what length board is sweet for you. I strongly advise going into that save (or the different interior of sight, attempt Jack's, HSS the two on substantial St. or Warner & PCH, or the Frog domicile in Newport). you may get suggestion from fairly some human beings like me on line, yet you would be pissed if somebody misses something and you nevertheless spent $3 hundred+ on a used board.

Go rent a longboard, around 8 feet, to learn how to surf. Then when you get the hang of it start thinking about what is working and not working forr you in the water. Is the board too much to handle, too much float, etc.

That is not a question, and may I ask you a REAL question? Do you know how to hit the shift key on your keyboard? That is the only board you need to care about.
