i live about 10 or 20 minutes away from huntington beach, so i would probably start learning there.
i am on a budget, so any suggestions if this board is bad?
ive been told to get a soft surfboard, if so, would a wide 6footer be fine? i am 15, 5′2″ and 105 lbs.
OH! how about this one? (:

Given your size, both are reasonable choices. However, I am very VERY skeptical about making this type of recommendation on line. ER 130 is right with his assessment that the softtop is probably the better of the two for a 15 year old. Soft boards hurt a lot less when they bonk you on the head.
Surfing is a sport that should only be practiced by persons who are already confident and competent ocean swimmers. There are way too many dangerous people in the water today, who THINK they can surf. Lessons are the only sensible way to start surfing, either from a professional instructor, or surfing family or friends. Most professional instructors will rent you a board to learn on. Beginners should even think about buying a board until they master the basics, and decide they really want to keep on surfing.
Although I am sure you will get lots of “advice” the real BEST ANSWER is to go to a good local surf shop and discuss your skill level, your size and local wave conditions with the folks there. they will give you much better info than ANYBODY out here in cyberspace. Why not just rent a board while you are learning. When you decide you want to keep on surfing, think about buying a decent board, and avoiding popouts , and boards made in sweat shops in China, unless that’s just all you can afford. And don’t forget, there are always used boards for sale in every surf shop. After 42 years of surfing, I still get my surfboard buying advice at good local shops in the places where I surf. And, since you obviously are just starting out, it is very easy to get swindled when buying a surfboard on-line. Don’t rush into buying something that will only disappoint you.
And, I know there are lots of nice kids who want to share information with you on line. But don’t take the advice from youngsters, who may know even less than you do about surfing, a surfboard is a big investment.
Anybody, on-line, who gives specific advice on what size board someone should buy is foolish. Anyone who takes that advice is more foolish. I have been surfing for sa long, long time, and I hope you learn the right way, and have as much fun as I have had.

ITC Surfboard $25.99 The bold, playful element is everything in ITC Surfboard. West coast designer Teri Kahan was inspired by California’s surfing lifestyle, and this vitality is expressed in this fun font. Deliberately tight spacing unifies word units as the letters dance along the writing line. The designer will find that the letterforms of ITC Surfboard condense and expand well, look great with textures and patterns within them, and are most successful when used at large sizes. Contemporary, abstract surf and sailing symbols are also included. |
