Go with a 8' longboard or move onto a good size fish and work your way down

thanks... i'm thinking a 7'6" is good for me to start on...
go score a bic board a lot of shops sell last years rental board for cheap and those things can take a beating
if ur lookin for a 7'6", go with the NSP fun shape. seriously lol. i traditionally ride my 5'10" plusone and went out the other day on a 7'6" nsp for s***s and giggles and had a blast. never saw it coming haha. about as sturdy as a bic too, and in my opinion an all-around better board
when i first started out i had a fun board... and i got bored of it REALLY fast..
Thats the only thing im worried about... My friends all said that i'll prob go through boards pretty quick as i work my way down to a short board... Only bc of my experience riding waves... I really don't want to buy 3 boards and keep spending more and more money...Quote:

Actually i didnt even think about that... It wasn't so much the spending money as much as i didnt want to lose more and more money re-selling boards i grow out of quickly... But i'm going to check the local shops for some used fun shapes... Thanks!!!Quote:

If you can ride a wave on a skimboard then I would get a used quad fish.
