Which surf board should I start out with?
I read some answers on Yahoo Answers and John F. said to ask the local surf stores but my local surf store sells like the minimum price for a surf board being around $550. It's BC Surf and Sport. I live in Miami, Florida. I'm 16 years old. I'm 6'0 and I weigh around 180 lbs but I'm trying to lose some weight so maybe around 170 lbs would be good. Thanks for any help.
You should have read all of John F.'s answer as I am 100% sure he also said to not worry about buying/owning a board if you're just beginning.
Rent a board...it's cheap,you don't know if you want to stick with surfing or not.
Pay for lessons as they usually provide the boards,leash,wax etc. and it will shorten the learning curve.
Start out on a funshape or a longboard because they are so long,wide,and thick,they have a lot of volume which adds buoyancy and stability.
You stand right around where I do at 6' tall and 180 lbs.
I've been surfing for 18 years and ride nothing but thrusters (shortboards) and fish and their hybrids.You might want to start with a board no shorter then 7'6" and around 20"+ wide and between 2 3/8" to 2 1/2" thick as the shortest board to learn on...the longer wider and thicker the better to learn on becuase of the volume adding buoyancy and stability.
Start with lessons and rental boards...a new board isn't going to come cheap (I have the luck of getting a brand new ...Lost/Mayhem shape for $200 at my local shop...woot woot for local shredder perks!)....
They'll run you anwhere from $100 used to $500++ for a new board,especially if it's a custom.
So he was right in telling you to go to your local shop and ask them,I'm sure they pointed out a board or three that would be what you need to learn on (unless you lied to them about your experience/skills).
So....
GO WITH RENTAL BOARDS.
