You have never tried surfing, or maybe have gone just a few times. You want to really learn how to ride waves and start out on the right foot. If this is you, then always lean toward a longer-size board (such as a longboard, minimal, softboard or funboard). These are wide, stable, wave-catching boards perfect for small days to learn with lots of flotation.
